    TROUBLE MOORING AT LITTLE BUCKLANDS BEACH

    in MarineTalk

    Posted

    Hi

     

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. Have now spoken to a few people  & I think you have hit the nail on the head with the mussels thanks. We have had to attach a 20 litre drum to the mooring buoy to stop it going under just like yours as I too previously had to go hunting for a missing buoy!

     

    Will follow your procedure and see how I go.

     

    Thanks

    Ian.

    TROUBLE MOORING AT LITTLE BUCKLANDS BEACH

    Hi all

     

    We have a Cav 26 moored at Little Bucklands Beach about 200 metres off Graingers Point. Does anyone moor around there and have trouble getting their mooring to the surface? We are on a rope strop. It takes two of us to get the buoy rope out of the water but yesterday we had to run a sheet down the side deck onto a cockpit winch to get it up. We do have an anchor winch but have only just bought the boat and it is one of the things that doesn't go yet :-( We've scraped some mussels off the rope as far down as we can reach but wonder if there is more or whether there is another issue like maybe the rope strop is too short and we are trying to lift the chain off the bottom. There is no noticeable difference between trying at high and low water. I had set up a diver to go down and have a look at slack water but unfortunately he got cold feet before going anywhere near the water.

     

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

     

    Cheers

    The last agent in NZ was Performance Imports in Cambridge, the water pump is a Johnson, and the engine is actually a Hatz.

    Very helpful info thanks. I have been in touch with Graeme at Performance Imports in Cambridge who has the parts I need so all sorted for now thanks for your help. Cheers Ian

    My mate has got a BMW D7 sitting in his garage.  He would probably want to sell you the whole thing though.

    Very helpful info thanks. I have been in touch with Graeme at Performance Imports in Cambridge who has the parts I need so all sorted for now thanks for your help. I actually have a couple of partly dismantled D7s so will kindly decline the offer of another at the mo but will keep it in mind. Thanks Ian.

    If it's the sea-water pump impeller you are looking for there is a good chance this is not made by BMW. Many manufacturers simply fit a Jabsco, Johnson or some other pump. Lustys used to have a neat cross-reference guide with impeller measurements etc., maybe take the impeller and gasket into them or a similar competent supplier.

    Hi yes it is the seawater pump. Very helpful info thanks. I have been in touch with Graeme at Performance Imports in Cambridge who has the parts I need so all sorted for now thanks for your help :-)

    No that is one I haven't tried. Thanks. So far I have only struck rudeness so even a helpful suggestion is much appreciated ;-) Will give them a go. Cheers

    Has anybody got one of these little motors and/or know where to get parts? I know parts are hard to get but am just wanting some basics ie water pump impellor and gasket. I have e-mailed a crowd in the states that have a parts list on the net but so far no reply :-(

     

    Thanks Ian
