    Anyone have experience with this AIS/VHF set up?
  6. He did say it was in response to a now banned ingredient ... which itself was advertised by the marina as no longer permitted. Now here is a left field idea... I have worked on a barge that could be at sea for months then would enter a brackish water environment for a time. All the fouling would die and much would fall off. Would there be a case for a landlocked marina to have a pair of lochs that would allow the water in the marina to be maintained at a salinity level that would not sustain marine life?...
  7. Yup I am sure, the local Altex Rep has been involved with the poor performance I have experienced and clearly blamed a recent formulation change. Was more a matter of a particular ingredient being removed or substituted with a lesser active product.
  8. Ditto... will be changing mine in March away from #5

    How about that... went out to my boat on the mooring in Nelson two weeks back and there was Contour of Cuthill on the mooring right next door to me....
  10. I am a Tillerist and I like the lack of wheel/pedistal clutter. But about the autopilot steering ram, is it hydraulic and is it free to move when not engaged? Have you considered the sweep of the tiller arm when the pilot is working, how fast will the tiller move and will it hurt when you are in the way?

    You have to wonder after their last race... what a shocker of a start.
  12. Funny noises that come and go with boat movements and swells are almost always a consequence of resilient mounts flexing. This became more prevalent with the introduction of resilient engine mounts around the 80s onwards. You may have the alignment correct stationary, but under load or as the boat pitches and rolls with "G" forces in different directions, the mounts flex and the drivelive goes out of alignment. A further complication is a down angle gearbox... under prop thrust, the forces are trying to lift the rear of the engine, even when motoring in flat calm water. An
