  1. Another sad day for Westhaven
  2. I've sailed with this for years. Including gybes which probably could have been gentler.. Repairable? Or don't bother?
  3. Bump - Unit still for sale, somebody is looking for a good tiller pilot!

    reusing gaskets

    Thank you will do just that.
  5. Is it a thing to re-use gaskets? I've pulled my exhaust manifold off, (blocked water passage) In the drawing below, Part 7 gasket is a goner, I need to find a new one of those (part number anyone?) But Item 17 is a thick metal looking one, and that seems to be a great order, only a couple years old. Do I need to replace it? Same with the Item 4 (gasket that connects to mixing elbow) that one seems ok - can I wipe it clean and re-use?
  6. the feedback form raises the possibility of retaining a handstand here. Council must have noticed some angst about it to re include it as a possibility. Please take 5mins to do their survey.
  7. Hi @MartinRF yes that's who we tried. My partner is Swedish, so she wrote to them in Swedish a month or so ago, we will be in Stockholm in a few weeks so we were hoping we could pick one up. They don't have in stock they said, so it appears to be a ghost product nobody can buy? #frustrating. Any good Marinas worth walking around while we are in Stockholm?
  8. The Cerbo is a box from victron, essentially a tiny computer for monitoring your boats electrical system.. 101 video explaining They give the software away free so you can run it on a cheap raspberry pi if you want, but then you need to DIY all the interfaces to your gizmos
  9. Don't listen to the dinosaurs Snowball, that's a cool setup. I have the cerbo and do similar cool stuff. how did you do your custom gui?
  10. I'm looking for a replacement Silva bulkhead compass, one of a matching pair. Can't get from Silva in Sweden as they only list the northern zone ones, they point us to the local distributor who doesn't sell that particular one and wont help us as they can only order 50 at a time. I can see it listed online in South africa but they wont ship internationally. Anyone got any ideas? https://silvaafrica.com/collections/compasses/products/compass-100b-h-ms
  11. but did you hear the sound it makes? Soon every boat will have its own jet turbine generator and Izzy bay will sound like an airport
  12. I'll go in third place if one of the others falls through
  13. can you post a photo of the capacitors that need replacing? I may be able to help
  14. 650k worth apparently https://www.cityofsailsmarine.co.nz/multi-hull/50ft-carbon-cruiser-racer-catamaran
  15. Just been down and replaced my docklines, they were starting to get a bit tired so this was as good a time as any to replace them all. Took down sails and solar panels. I also went and inspected my neighbor boat, and its dock lines which looked like absolute sh*t. Am I out of line for going onto the neighbor boat and adding new docklines? I left their ones in place, just added more and made my ones slightly slacker so they should only kick in when theirs fail..
  16. dont bother, I have one with the ST10. Bonus pic from the anchorage tonight
  17. @Screwball if you are in auckland and want to try with my ST10.. you are most welcome.
  18. hey @Screwball - Sadly, I got nowhere. Navico support were no help, disappointing, as if they didn't even read what I had written and just copy pasted the how to update section from the manual. I need to try them again on the phone, but they are only open business hours and I'm not at the boat business hours...
  19. What is the go-to best hand held small manual pump for getting the last dribbles out of bilge, or dinghy etc? Something like this https://www.torpedo7.co.nz/products/T7KKAN908XXXXX/title/kayak-bilge-pump or this https://www.boat.net.nz/collections/pumps-hand-pumps/products/hand-pump-stirrup-style
  20. Do you have a photo of the capacitors in question?
  21. Hoping to be back in Westhaven by midday, that could work out? would be great

    Westhaven

    my cars there (hopefully) and my boat is not. I'm sunburnt and having a blast. 42nm today in some reasonable seas and 22-25kts. I had a great time. Missus spent the day hugging a bucket so not sure she got the same experience.
  23. Mine cant be controlled from the MFD, and behaves different to the manual says it should, for example when tacking, manual says it will beep three times as warning then tack, whereas mine just goes straight away. Im not convinced it steers to wind either.
  24. feck, I was worried someone would say that. Maybe navico has a list of serial numbers? Anyone want to buy a tp32 thats not compatible with newer nmea2000 stuff?
