Most of the LiFEPo set up in the land yacht was done by HMB Electrical, (Hope I'm not breaking protocol in mentioning them but they were good) I did the battery box and one or two minor items myself after consultation with their contracted inspector who issued the EWOF. So yes there was an element of DIY but that was done per the inspectors guidance mostly to ensure there were no surprises for either party. Since I was initially intimidated by the seemingly complex circuitry I was hoping to be a bit dumb about it, pay some money and get a "turn-key package" . I should have known better Tu

That's an accurate summary IMO. Stretching the topic but abandoned cars are also dealt with by local councils, some are shitters that tourists couldn't sell before departing the country, Q town is particularly bad apparently, still at least cars have a half decent scrap value and are cheaply recovered/transported.

Its confusing because in the interview "Matt from the Harbour Masters office" agrees with the interviewer that Rate Payers are unaware they are picking up the tab, implying that rates are funding the salvage.

This is third hand so Perhaps someone here has more correct detail but apparently one or possibly two steel boats parted their moorings in the recent blow. They were moored on the Tamaki in the vicinity of the PYBC and significant Damage to other vessels ensued with one possibly sunk, I suppose we will pay via increased insurance premiums. Harbour Masters dealing with abandoned boats is a worldwide problem affecting oceans, rivers and lakes.

How so ?

Huge overlapping Genoas and tiny Mainsail, clearly IOR

Nice work Matt, what is the white liner material ? looks like 6mm thk GRP or something similar ?

Hard to disappear a yacht of that size very weird

I was skeptical because a few months back Yoshino's advertised SS battery was exposed during independant teardown as still having some liquid electrolyte albeit it was only 3% I think. The companies' marketing department eventually admitted they got a bit carried away. This one however looks legit and there are one or two others out there so maybe we are finally at the beginning of the solid State era , good stuff !

Senator Collins, thanks for your time .............Can you book me a cab

1) for the mechanics. I have replacement 4hp 4 stroke yamaha. The old one always started on the second pull. This one on the 7th. Do I have to live with this. Change the plug as well as cleaning the carb, or at least clean it and check the gap.

Otherwise they would have to tow it outside of the environment, there is nothing there luckily.

Someone didn't tell the crew about "long Press" on the AP power button.

Its a new anti-tariff door to door service being trialled by Ali Express.
