  1. Thanks for the feedback, your on my page, is this a cost effective method to get those three primary data.
  2. I have a basic network with 2 displays, why not use them , I don't see size matters. I'm blind now except for a audio alarm.
  3. Things came to a rapid holt after starting up...
  4. Hi Many of us now have NEMA2000 displays but 20-30 yr old motors, with little monitoring beyond the control panel. That is no NEMA2000 output. Has anyone experience with the units available from Aliexpress, see picture. It appears one maybe able to get rpm, oil pressure and temperature, plus tanks onto a network. Are there other options, I'm aware of Actisense EMU. Thanks
  5. Maybe some more detail of the unit on your boat? I had a similar experience backing out of a marina berth in Havlock, collected two launches an a pile in the process. Not a nice feeling! Turned out to be a cable clamp, bracket that had come free from a mount on a bulkhead next the the motor. Allowed the cable to bend without moving the lever on the gearbox. Nothing to do with lever in cockpit.

  7. It's basically antenna to antenna, so depends on the antenna heights, line of sight plus a bit...
  8. Have sent contact details in a private message.
  9. As mentioned above; Posted November 6, 2016 We have 2 here in Rotorua, could put you on contact with owners for a look.
  10. https://www.yachtingmonthly.com/news/new-initiative-to-look-at-the-rise-in-abandoned-boats-88288 Looks like we are not alone.
  11. That's sad. Worked with him when we realigned the NZTYA safety standards with the YNZ safety regulations, what became Part V.
  12. Appears the Regional Council has fined the yacht 200$ https://www.nzherald.co.nz/bay-of-plenty-times/news/yacht-skipper-fined-after-container-ship-forced-to-change-course-in-tauranga-harbour/MUQOGYQ4ANBUW4NAMXHMXLWDFI/
  13. Last time I looked there was one on my sail and either side of the hull, and it's a National one too...
  14. Yip we had a sailing cat.... was happy to swim if needed.
  15. The Garmin Glo 2 Gps Receiver For Mobile Devices is one way around this. Talks via Bluetooth to give GPS capability to any device.

    Trailer Winches

    Check out some other Aquarius 22 trailers. we have a couple in our area an they do not struggle getting them on the trailer. As mentioned above be aware of over loading the winch wire/rope, the S hook an D on the boat.
  18. After crotch straps, another consideration is a hood. Having done a few HUET's an a offshore survival course in a wave pool, the hood adds a significant level of comfort and survivabilty.
  19. @Ex Machina That map is of the Auckland Volcanic Field, your totally correct there are volcanics elsewhere. However the South Auckland Field is much older and classed as extinct as is Whangarei. The Northland Volcanic Field is a little harder to class as there are events around 40,000 yrs ago .... probably on its way out. Outside of the greater Rotorua-Taupo area (Taupo Volcanic Zone), we can only map molten rock under the Auckland area, at about 80 km depth. Totally agree the next eruption in Auckland will not be a lot of fun.
  20. I've understood it's the blue line in lower sketch, based on a line from forestay base to centre of mast.... be interested to see other interpretations
  21. Thanks IT for reading .... The attached image is from a paper dating events in Auckland ... eruptions started about 140,000 yrs ago and last was Rangitoto (600 yrs ago). Locations are random (oldest and youngest are basically next to each other. The rate of eruptions has changed with time, but was really busy around 30,000 yrs ago (an average rate means very little). As mentioned all the volcanoes have erupted once, except Rangitoto which has erupted twice (the 1st maybe about 6,000 yrs ago). Eruptions are very unlikely to occur outside of the area shown on the map (left side).
  22. Currently listed for sale on TM...just showing off the new bottom coating....
