Hi Ashton. Does the chromecast or dongle need to be powered separately, or just plug into the tv? There's several things that I've seen, but don't know what is applicable. One is a small thing that plugs into the tv, the other kind of has small antenna that fold out. I'll get a couple of pics of what the tv has by way of available connections. I'm not sure but I think it might have only the one hdmi port, which might be taken up with something.

Maybe I need a kid from JB Hifi to help. New boat to me, has a TV. I don't think its smart though (makes two of us). I'm unsure of the connectors on the TV, but my question is, what do I need to transmit say Netflix or movies from say a tablet to the TV? Is it just a wire from one to the other or a dongle thingy. There's several things on TM but I don't really know where to start. If it's a dongle does it need its own power supply? I get bonus points from the missus if I keep her happy and entertained on board.

What are great autocorrect. I did mean bimini 😇

Anyone got any recommendations please? What works, what doesn't. Cheers

I have an industrial sewing machine and could run it all up for a box of the cold stuff

Bit of a long shot but if anyone has a railblaza 'receiver' they no longer want, I'm after just the moving lock part. Don't want to buy the whole replacement part which is well attached.

Make your own for a couple of handy. Not difficult. Fabric, leather for chaff areas, couple of battens, bit of sew time

Haha. No I guess not. What is that... a hundred k🤢. Apologies to all

Hi. I agree with wreck removal. I agree $50 doesn't go anywhere towards removing wrecks, but the article on TV indicated $20 to $30k per removal. When there's what, maybe 2000 mooring owners adding maybe one million odd dollars per year that equates to what, 80 to 100 wrecks worth. Obviously costs will vary but I don't see the math adding up. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

👍

🤔😩

Ash. I do recall that when that fee, $50 pa was added it was specifically to address the abandoned boats issue around Auckland. There may be a thread on Crew about that, from several years ago.

There was no mention of the fact that we as mooring owners were paying for the wrecks to be recovered

My query was more about the unbalanced IMHO reporting, inferring that local council was paying for it all

Other than chasing owners with a written warning to pay their fees, does HM ever do anything to collect outstanding money?

The issue I was making was mainly in relationship to the public perception that the general city population was paying for this through rates, which is clearly not the case. I'm guessing at the number of moorings around Auckland, but it's still bringing in what, a mil per year, plus? Are they spending that annually on the problem? I think not.

Very interesting article, HM didn't mention anything about the fact that our mooring fees went up several years ago by $50 pa to cover wreck recovery. Maybe 20,000 moorings x $50 what, around $1m per annum to deal with the problem? They infered that rate payers were paying for it. P!$$ED me off a bit.

I'm after some tender glue too. Do you have any to share, or did I miss the point. Happy to,pay. Probably only need 250mls. Pm me if keen. Nick

The stuff stick like the proverbial $#it to a blanket. Anyone have any idea or tricks on how to remove old glue? Thinners just don't seem to do anything. Old glue has been on maybe 15 years.

A box of beer was a deal then😎

Yup, I got a bucket of that😂😂😂

Id think i need something that layers, but doesnt set off hard, or will just remain some what flexible

Thanks. Would that paint expand and contract okay with inflate, deflate etc?
