Quattro

Kinda thought so. Thanks Ashton.

Just a quick question. Im thinking of moving the gas bottle to make it a bit easier to get to the valve, my days of being a contourtionist nearly over. Is it okay to lie a bottle permanently on its side, without compromising the delivery system?

Do you put CC over say aluminum sailing drive?

Bit of a long shot, but after a centre mount cockpit table from base plate up, if anyone has something knocking around that they want to part with.

I've got a Raven 31. A bit surprised at his amount required, as i did check out the UK website for CC.

The Chch guy came back with a quote of just under 4k. The online measure app indicated i need 8 litres but he came back with 10. All good info thanks. I've got a few months up my sleeve but it's all good knowledge

Good stuff to hear. I'm going to do it. Any info on where to get CC or any NZ equivalent?

Great. Did you apply it yourself?

Sorry. Fat fingers typing

Hi Bittersweet, did yohbrake up DTs offer? If not, I'd be interested to at least check it out.

I see this was discussed 4 or 5 years ago and just want to see if there's been any developments. Last was Parker Group was looking at developing a local product. Is this so? Anyone tried it? I'm looking to upgrade on the annual typical AF in Tamaki River that barely lasts a year. And at my age, while I have more time on my hands, I'd prefer to go sailing, not sanding.

I wonder if making copper fines and mixing in with AF would make any difference.

What ya have insurance for Ash.

Quick question for the hive. I have an autohelm ST4000 that seems dead. Was working a while ago. I have power at the main switch but the display doesn't light up. The ram rod plug isn't the best, but was working before. I've noticed that of the three pins, the top one on the boat side receiver is recessed a few mm than the lower 2. But all three pins on the rod side are the same. Anyone knows if that's normal? Dont want to go trying to pull it out of its supposed to be like that.

Just back from a few days down the bottom end. Didn't need to come back, but early days of sailing with the missus on board. Planing all of February to explore Northland.

I've asked. I don't think they have been active for some time. Fingers crossed

Good idea. I've just asked the question if a person seeking that data a year ago. Hope he can help.

I've looking at a replacement main, and been searching high and low for the P and E measurements. Nothing on line as far as I can see. Does anyone in the hive know the oracle and where to find this info? TIA

Think HMB is pretty on to it, customer wise, and happy to give you 5 to do this job.

Cheers Vivaldi. I'm pretty sure it's the two piece kit, and is same as the 20hp drive. So, Allen keys, not bolts. Fingers crossed its an easy mission

I've booked a lift and clean and want to be ready to change the yanmar 30 sail drive anode at the same time, if I can. It's a new boat to me, and I haven't had a sail drive before, so any heads up us good. 1. Is changing the anode straightforward, ie like doing a shaft anode? 2. Anyone had a problem doing thus during a lift and clean? 3. Is it straightforward with a spanner? Allan key? Any idea on size of bolts? Metric i assume? Any nothing fancy like needing a 90degree or bendy drive? Really appreciate any knowledge you can impart, so I don't get stuck on a tight

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.
