  1. "Closed is closed is closed, with one rule for all." Haha, what colour is the ocean on your planet?
  2. Might be worth talking to an engineer about that. The water running thru the saildrive is part of the cooling design for the drive. Lack of could be a part of the problem
  3. Think I've got a diesel xfer pump sitting around Al, I'm in Auckland if that helps?
  4. SD40's have an oil expansion issue. A good fix is a brass fitting tapped onto the top fill plug, with a hose to a bottle. Oil if pushed out just flows in & back out of the bottle. Yanmar, love the engines, hate the saildrives. But the 20 is the best of them, very few issues with them, unlike the clutch/cone problems with their bigger brothers.
  5. Yep Cavalli's a favourite spot for Bad Kitty, just love it there,
  6. 70mtrs of 10mm any interest Eric?
  7. Damn Peter Smith! Bast*#d! Sailing the NW Passage while I can't sail to frickin Kawau!
  8. BEP do digital meters that scroll thru engine, house, aux & give volts & amps, ours is in the panel, but they may do a stand alone one?
  9. Another vote from me for Powerflow. Good gear.
  10. No I think the people that do this are too stupid to make good decisions. But throw them in the slammer for a month, at least it sends a message, and may discourage the occasional slightly smarter muppet from the wrong decision. If a few farmers had been penalised appropriately it may have encouraged better compliance. And before anyone starts with the whole bleeding heart garbage just save it. Jail may not cure criminals, but it certainly stops criminals visiting harm on decent citizens while the ar#*holes are locked up. And until our Government, whatever flavor, starts prioritizing educ
  11. Yep all of that Fish, but the quarantine, and the quality of it, is crucial. We're only one a#*ehole away from being like Melbourne, and after going thru the pain I'd hate to go back to a lockdown. It would be terminal for much of NZ's small business, and a fair chunk of medium to big business I suspect. Any quarantine jumpers, including the special sort of dumb that broke into one of Rotorua's quarantine hotels, should spend a month in jail. Just to drive home to some of our IQ challenged just how big a deal this is.
  12. But I do believe that we could easily manage quarantine, as long as it's on a cost recovery basis. As others have said, NZ is a very desirable destination currently.
  13. Numbers of film crew coming in is public record, no-one needs any special info to access it. Film crew are being allowed in because 350 people coming in allows 1 billion + in work to continue. It's a net gain to NZ. Nothing more sinister than that.

    Yammy 15

    Hard to go past a yammy 15 2 stroke. The small 4 strokes are just too heavy for what they do. But yes the Tohatsu 18 is a great little outboard also, same weight as a 15 but 20% more power!
  15. Set at -15 on Bad Kitty from memory
  16. I'm very similar, metvuw then PredictWind
  17. I disagree with this entirely. Yet again the whole of a great community suffers because of an individual or small vocal minority pushing an out of balance viewpoint.
  18. I've got 70 mtrs of 10 mm you can have very soon, as soon as Knot Me unpacks some stainless. Unless he gets sin binned again soon & that affects his delivery schedule?
  19. Coastguard used to take them, not sure anymore?
  20. Hiya Wave, thanks for sharing, pretty interesting times to be cruising, must be a lot of confused cruisers up there wondering where they're going next. I guess y'all just sitting there & seeing what borders open up? Good luck, and enjoy the sunshine!
  21. PM me a phone number if you want a chat,
  22. Agree, Designers rarely supervise Construction. Look at all those Given powercats, built by Silver Tiger! Great design, built by gib stopping labourers! One of NZ boatbuilding's great horror stories.
