  1. and if you want a new solenoid and switch, i have new ones of them from a replacement of the same unit is did recently due to gerbox issues
  2. thanks, seems to confirm that the current setup is wrong, so wont follow that in the new layout, will terminate normally and allow for both the transducer and wing gear to come off as drops
  3. Transducer is an older Airmar, IDST-N2000, doesnt look like that has termination so will look at putting it as a drop cable and use a termination end at the moment, then replace that with the wind gear when I get it
  4. Just got a new boat with a basic setup but i have a MFD and Additional Display i want to put into the system, and make allowances for Windgear which i hope to do later in the year. There are still some things i am yet to discover about the current setup, like where does the power come from, and why are the two seperate compasses, but what i do know is that the Speed Depth transducer is one end of the setup, which i thought was not what you wanted, and the first drop off the current system is a single cable that goes up the mast to 2 triton units under the boom (havent opened that box up y
  5. there wont be a lot of water there from 3/4 onwards, plus the wharf is pretty rough to tie up to, you could anchor in the bay and dinghy into the boat club breakwater, use the pontoons to load into the dinghy. in a dinghy you should be good most of the tide
  6. $2200 for a 12m Berth, an Abrupt failure is a bit of a stretch. rumor round the marina is they were told it needed doing 5+years ago. It just eventually got to the point that one one would touch it. Plenty of empty berths at Pine harbour and they are not worth anything to sell with opex being so high. Handy marina to be in if you live out south, but not much good to be said about the owner or how it is run.
  7. or find the name of the rigger in Opua, there will be an old thread here somewhere that has the details, he has a lot of older furler parts. I have used him before to source obsolete parts including what you want, the chandlery up there may also know his contact details
  8. I have replaced an Old VWC1200 with a newer VWC1500 maxwel winch, the old breaker was attached to a grey box that had this inside it. The to bigger screws had cable running to positive of house and start battery banks, and the smaller wires in the picture go to an accessories switch on the panel. Disconnect the main cables and everything is still working, so far have got nothing on what it is supposed to do. Would be around 1992 vintage i am guessing. I am thinking some form of battery switch to connect both banks together?
  9. anyone out of their berth next Friday night (26th) who wants to loan it out for a few hours? probably be there from 6pm until 10pm then heading back home, 12m launch, normally berthed at Pine Harbour
  10. was on tv1, but was mainly reused footage from a a program put out 11 years ago by CYCA, can see part one of that here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgsp_kHicu8&t=33s
  11. Either swap for a berth in Bay of Islands over the same time or will be available to rent cheap for from late December until early Feb 2025, send me a PM and can work out the details, 12m at Pine harbour. Will need to have appropriate insurance and comply with the Marina rules
  12. plenty of berths at pine harbour are now being rented at "cost" covering opex. There are plenty of empty berths. I have heard of people offering berths for sale super cheap to get out as opex it is so expensive. I guess at some point the market forces will determine if the pricing is correct. My understanding is that you can walk away and forfeit the berth which there must be owners considering, is that not possible at Hobsonville?
  13. wasnt there when we visited in Feb but was close, what was more surprising was no fuel, could not get resource consent, that is a lot of boats that have to travel for fuel
  14. Works perfectly did have a new clutch abut 3 years ago, Lug c on the body has broken so we could no longer mount it on the bracket we had. If your mounting doesn't need this then it will work fine. $200
  15. thanks for all the replies, will do some shopping and testing on scale models
