    Tank should be removable in most cases as they do get pin holes now and again,really should remove and flush.

    Diesel bug

    Drain and flush,install water trap/filters, as Fish Said outboard bulb works well,Buy fuel where there is big turn over and use a biocide and where possible leave tanks full. Leave it and it will get in to your pump injectors etc

  7. As mean as it sounds but I do not support those charities.Ever since the late 90s when aid was sent to such countries as Ethiopia where upon it was discovered warehouse full of rice/grain etc were not being handed out to those in need.Instead weapons were brought.Sounds mean I know. but those countries are looking for aid.This is where I believe the UN needs to enter and distribute food etc. I would have no issue to be taxed an extra $5/10 pw as long as the money aid was being properly supervised and gets to where it is needed. Not having a bunch of collectors roaming the street and
  8. Great thing about NZ defence forces is the ability to respond in natural crisis around the pacific.Cyclones tsunamis etc Sad part is those we help often get the cheque book out and buy from those who have not invested aid. When it comes to helping our pacific nations we need an agreement of Yes we supply relief but in return you need to buy from NZ. Interesting Kevin,no surprises there with Charity.Like most big organisations.Out front "Wow look at what they are doing for the community"behind the scenes how much more profit can squeeze out of those we are helping. Bit like save
  9. I presume you have tri colour mast light?? if what i am looking at on the pushpit is the port/star nav lights would be near impossible to see from ahead,does the glow at night impede cockpit vision.
  10. Found guilty on 2 of Olivia's hairs found on his vessel?? Now if the police at the time tested every person/vessel who was there and had made contact with Ben/Olivia how many would possibly hair some of there hair on clothing?? My cat has never been in the truck yet I have cat hair purely from brushing against the cat, transmission by association?

  12. Just been quoted a cdi pack for a outboard $950 Not happening When I can get one from USA for $225 landed NZ marine industry are not doing themselves any favours.Time will come when the niche sector dries up and they will need to rely on joe average.
  13.

    Be interesting over the next 6 months how many vehicles do not have WOFs as the govt have passed an exemption bill.Now will that give insurance COs an out??But it up to us to maintain to standards,lights/tread etc but how would one know if the pads are down and brakes not efficient? The insurance have said covered unless a major fault that caused the accident.
  20. Stuart Nash came along waving the big stick about clamping down on dumping ,cameras,foreign ownership etc But I guess the big back handers pays more dividends?? Been reading about The Faroe Islands Fisheries. You lease the quota from govt and you can sell to markets ,direct of the boat etc you are not bound to sell to sanfords/talleys etc. Must use local labour.interesting read. https://www.faroeseseafood.com/fishery-aquaculture/fishery-legislation-and-management One small detail I forgot to mention about our commercial fleet.They didnt pay a brass rassoo for the quota.Th
  21. The gulf is fixable. Those who say they do not fish but buy it,Think again. Trawlers drag a net along the bottom and destroy all fauna,at the end of the net is a cod 4" diamond mesh which allows undersize fish to escape but as net fills up the mesh closes so no fish escapes.Once onboard undersize dumped as per the law.Those bruised ,dumped.Who wants bruised fish?? There are 2 types of fisherman,those with quota those with out who fish on contract.The contractors catch according to what holder wants(generally overseas investor)wrong size/species contractor dumps as no money
  22. Bit like the WOF on your car,only valid on day of issue,up to you to keep things in order. Inspector inspects today and all good,inspector walks away and you return borrowed gear.Cat 4/5 not much chance of a snap inspection.
