prop speed and copper coat depends on water quality.Used Prop speed on a kiwi in tamiki river but had better results in normal antifoul. Yes I know the concept of Prop speed,few revolution and the muck should be thrown off but once its estsablished?

The MPI warning is because of toxins,there is no update on mpi to say if the rahui/ban is still in place.The only publication says closed 2yrs and that time is up.Be worth testing ?? The only mention of Rahui relates to the weed invasion.

Is the ban still in place,cannot find any updates. expired 29/11/2023

Need to register with YNZ to race,so whats the issue with cost $120 one off cost till sold not a lot of coin in reality. But then again a vessel on mooring needs to let council/harbour master know who owns vessel,cant be identified go back to mooring owner hold them resposible,no issue from me. Rudolfshack springs to mind ,buying cheap junk and selling to unsuspecting buyers. Hmm didnt think it would cost that much to fix and walk away.But mooring in someones name and if no fee being paid remove mooring and vessel and charge last known owner.simple or do some just put in the too hard bas

One would think being in a well known well patronized anchorage. A anchor light would be all that is required,day shapes for vessels over 20m from memory. But if one anchored say off a island or bay rather than it,ie anchored off Orewa then possibly a anchor watch or at least a glance every hour to make one hasnt dragged etc As with ships anchored in the anchorage area off Rangi not only must display Anchor light but shall light up decks as well.Not sure if the lighting of decks is a local by law or not.

look on T/M and maybe find a sail near to size and have re cut?

Ok My god, it was tongue n cheek. You want to wear helmet dont let me stop you..

Oh look there's a bus ,where's my helmet? If YNZ/OSH/ACC ever brought wearing of helmets in on yachts,that will tyhe end of yacht racing in NZ.Now what happens if the volvo fleet stop in over in Auckland?Sorry no helmets keep going?

Just watched part of the news and they had the Coastguard on about drownings and lifejackets. The guy interviewed said LJ should be compulsory. Hmm living under a rock are CG? Both Auckland and Waikato quiet clearly state all vessels under 6m wearing of LJ is compulsory and skippers discretion. So if CG dont know the requirements then I guess we are screwed

I remember back in the early 70s.Dad was skippering the RNZYS patrol boat. Just after the start of "A" class they had rush to ranger as one crew member got struct by the boom and went face first in to a winch.Ambulance waiting at RAYC jetty.He was ok after hospital visit but point is.Helmet going to do nothing in that case.

www.maritimenz.govt.nz/public/news/2023/november/prosecution-follows-april-collision-between-power-boat-and-ferry-near-russell/ Prosecution follows April collision between power boat and ferry near Russell 30 November 2023 Following a collision between a twin-engine recreational power boat and the ferry, Waitere, in Russell earlier this year, Maritime NZ has charged the power boat’s skipper. The collision occurred at about midday on 13 April 2023, when Waitere (also known as the Blue Ferry ) was travelling from Russell to Paihia.

I used this on my old GM 15hp never had an issue being on the exhaust side same as you are doing.

Another thought as to why no anchoring ban at the mercs.Would be the pull of the mercury bay game fishing club.And which island does Faye own or has he sold it?

Give it another 5/10 yrs and I bet there will be at Kaikoura island. or port Fitzroy

No Iwi living at the Mercs??

Now why doesnt MPI/Council or Iwi drop 2 hundred moorings in affected areas and charge a over night fee? $10 per night max 2 nights,then your friends could raft up.Hmm new years party in the making.

best $500 i ever spent http://www.chatfieldmarine.com/shop/Driveline/Shaft+Seals/Blue+Water+Shaft+Seal+-+Standard+Model.html if you are sticking with hemp,need 3 pieces with joins turned from each other,,grease is your friend, I fitted a pressure grease tube to gland in a salthouse 26ft,never leaked

simple answer NO there is a risk to battery supplying high amps in a short burst,just asked the boy,his field.

How many other ships are in port without being checked?? Came on the news on friday that Pilot Bay Tauranga ,fan worm has been found

Thats trailered power boat(Ami) but my mate on a mooring for 35k pays $350 non racing through AMI,yet to recieve renewal notice so may double too.

Have no noticed marine insurance doubled since cyclone Gabriel Was $104 on 16k now $220

No not at all.Why would council want to proved space/stop shipping for a weekend and a few $$ in local coffers compared to what the AC brings in over a few months??

Almost guarantee the Sail GP would of happened in Auckland if DALTON didnt give Auckland the big finger and bugger off to Spain

When my friend launched his yacht ,1gm, the gland never dripped and thats a problem,needs to drip for lubrication.Not a stream but dripping every few seconds.1hr motor may get get 250ml?Shouldnt drip when stopped.. Maybe fit a dripless going forward if room?

Love how they call them project vessels.Other words I brought it cheap with no idea on how fix so flick it off again. I know if one vessel that's going sink again soon in Panmure.Harbourmaster offered to remove/dispose of for $500.Nah I will fix it.Family members no it's just going to burden upon father's death . I suggested they just take the offer stuff your father.
