    This might be of interest to owners of Yanmar 2GM20, 3GM30, etc. engines looking for an economic source of spare parts. Description as follows:

    A complete Yanmar 2GM20 marine diesel engine, without gearbox, suitable for spare parts. Unfortunately the engine suffered a hydraulicking failure (exhaust cooling water found its way into No.1 cylinder, damaging head gasket, main block and one piston). However, there are thousands of dollars worth of new, nearly new and recently reconditioned parts including:

    Fuel system: fuel lift pumps (2, including one unused spare), secondary filter, high pressure injection pump (recently serviced), fuel injectors (recently serviced)

    Cooling water pumps (2): 1 near new, 1 old that needs new impellor and face plate, flexible hoses

    Engine mounts: 4, near new

    Ignition system: control panel, starter motor, solenoid, Hitachi alternator configured to run with external Smart Alternator Regulator

    Head assembly, valves, rocker arm and cover

    Drive assembly: one piston with rings in good condition (the other is damaged), conrods, main shaft, flywheel.

    Exhaust elbow (near new)

    Spare bearings, gaskets, fuel filter, belts, etc. - see photos

    I would prefer the buyer to take the lot, rather than sell individual parts.

    If anyone knows the owner of Vantage, please dump a lot of manure on his verandah.

    - failing to give way

    - exceeding 5 knots within 50m of another vessel 

    - exceeding 5 knots within 200m of the shore

    - not giving a sh*t about the effect of his wake

    - being an all-round dickbrain

    Also I note from your bottom picture that he has cut across your bow from port to starboard when you have right of way. Certainly not good seamanship.

    storing paper charts on board - whats your method?

    in MarineTalk

    Posted

    My paper charts are stored flat in a plastic wallet with zipper (bought from  Boat Books) and kept under one of the berth squabs. Useful for passage planning and a backup in case electrical systems fail. An old handheld Garmin GPS also provides backup (lat / long coordinates only) if I am out of cellphone range.

    There are no tidal diamonds on the charts for Bream Head but the ebb between the Head and the Chicks runs roughly northwards and the flood southwards. Any ships moored in Bream Bay will swing to the tidal flow unless a contrary wind is strong enough. The flows are not that strong until you get to Busby Head at the Whangarei Harbour entrance.

    Westport was the bar he crossed I believe.

    Yeah, that’s the one. I finished Hayter’s book. Why he didn’t hang on and go round Farewell Spit instead is beyond me. Starvation, I suppose. It was a good read.

    Book has recently been republished and I am halfway through reading it. Haven’t got to the Greymouth bar bit yet but some of the other things he did make my hair stand on end! Bloody slow boat too.

    Hmmmm an interesting thread with some passionate views. Here’s my two cents worth.

    First cent. Overfishing in the Hauraki Gulf is symptomatic of the global overfishing problem. Too many people (7.8 billion of us) wanting to eat more fish than is sustainable. Our species is like a plague of locusts consuming everything on the planet. We are aided in this by continuing advances in technology: from bone fishhooks to hardened steel ones, from small wooden waka to ocean going factory trawlers.

    Second cent. What we have seen in the Hauraki Gulf (and are still seeing) is a “tragedy of the commons” where individuals exploit uncontrolled or lightly regulated natural resources in flagrant disregard for the common good. That was true for the mussel dredgers of yesteryear as it is today for the greedy ratbags, commercial and recreational, that overfish.

    I say good on the iwi and everyone else taking the initiative to impose rahui, establish more marine reserves, re-establish mussel beds, etc.

    On a personal level, I used to be a typical Kiwi scuba diver that only went diving to search for crayfish and scallops. After living and diving in overfished areas in UK and Far East I came to realise how precious our local marine life is. Now I only dive to sightsee and occasionally fish for the family table (usually unsuccessfully!).

    It's a  personal choice I think. The alternatives are easier to use, come with a monthly subscription ( can be suspended when not in use). The only thing you are excluded from is the ssb nets. 

    Agree. Setting up comms on a boat is a personal choice. SSB might be last century but is still quite fun to use in a geeky sort of way!
