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.

Close the Mercs too. Bugger it, just close the gulf and ban tidal currents/easterly winds. If they did something 5 yrs ago might of helped rather than sit on ones hands.

Where are we up to with weed invasions?? seems to of gone very quiet,obviously hasnt gone away by its self or has bio security realised its no great risk?

AK to Napier via Taupo,great drive. Napier via sh2 east cape,good trip if the roads are open.Tolaga bay one of my favirote places.

Ocean beach Motuhihe would of been my pick,walk ashore and look back at AK

No they havent prevent bugger all. Told you it was going ahead. https://www.newsroom.co.nz/hauraki-gulf-kingfish-farm-clears-final-regulatory-hurdle

Did he give any indication how long before they think tanks will burst?? Picking oil will preserve inside of tanks.

Thats whats it for outboard flushing,there is an attachment that fits the hose and you pour it in. I personnally just use water. I do the taste test after 5 minutes and no issues

Re watched the programme last night. They could smell oil in the air then spotted a small slick,using sonar and dropping a camera down. The camera on retrevil had thick black oil on part of the cable so maybe not to far from rupturing?

Tv3 last Sunday had a good programme on it . Ocean Bounty. Where they located the ship as witnessed oil on surface.Sent a camera down https://www.threenow.co.nz/shows/ocean-bounty/season-5-ep-13/S1247-430/M78402-189 Might have to log in/sign up
