  1. But registered number would be easier to identify owner from a distance with trailered boats.fizzies
  2. only jet skis need to be registered IT,the other requirement is all vessels over 5 metres must have a name in 90mm high letters but there is no register for any other vessel. There should be compulsory registration for all vessels,example white sea nynph called happy days how many have you seen?? there are 3 within walking distance from home so I think trailer vessels need to display trailer name. But where does it end.registration operators ticket fishing licence boat wof?? I can people screaming your taking my rights etc.Life jackets under 7m??compulsory worn but skippers discretion whether
  3. in the industry I am in(trucking)I do not get why you would want to be an owner driver with all the expenses.When a wage/company driver can earn $80k easily + holidays ,time n half on stat days + sick days and dont care about the gear they driving.
  4. Infringement notices are sent to boat owners by the council for breaking local bylaws. ​I can see how they could sent a notice to the owner of a vessel that has a marina or mooring as they have a record of whose who.But come to trailer vessels who/how do they send a notice too??sure might have a boat name but there is no register or compulsory to register a vessel,law only states must display a name,maybe need a law change to display trailer registration. Only vessel that needs to on a register is a jet ski.
  5. Hows this for stupidity. Friend has his vessel at home for long period while rejuvenating it,so to stop randoms using his mooring and creating havoc,he took the bouy off and let it sink.pays the fee no problem.But along comes some official and said he needs to reinstate the bouy as mooring is non compliant.Tried to explain why but no,do it or get a fine.
  6. Always thought that a vessel on a mooring in Auckland boundaries had to at a level of sea worthiness? https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/plans-projects-policies-reports-bylaws/bylaws/Documents/navsafetybylawcontrols2014.pdf Page 10 Seaworthiness in relation to any vessel means being, in the opinion of the Harbourmaster in a fit condition of readiness to safely undertake a voyage within its designed capabilities. page 14 15 Vessels to be seaworthy (1) The person in charge of a vessel anchored or moored in any navigable waters must keep the vessel in a seaworthy condition at

    Refrigeration

    Do not buy the waeco tropica??cold/warm useless,as above the waeco cfx 40 is the way to go.can leave running all day/night no problem but like every others chiller food/drink needs to cold first for best result.
  17. seems clear enough you pay https://www.customs.govt.nz/personal/move-to-nz-permanently/vehicles-boats-and-planes You can get a “household items” concession if: you’re moving to NZ, or moving back after 21 months or more away, and you’ve used the items for their intended purpose. This means you won’t have to pay GST and duties on some items. You can also get concessions on: private vehicles, including: motorcycles cars scooters motorhomes camper vans ambulances boats aircraft. If you don’t qualify for concessionsIf you don’t qualify for concessions, you will have to pay: GST
  18. Do not forget all overseas purchases now how GST from 1/12/2019 At a guess the GST was payable when yacht being built in NZ and a claim for GST filed when exported,so now you want to import it maybe subject to GST
  19. The question is,Did someone row out from the marina as being the closest or someone roaming around in dinghy targeting vessels just that other possible robberies havent been reported yet?? Thought security did their rounds via water??
  20. litle honda 2.3 are great air cooled motors,bit on the heavy side if carrying a distance but never had a starting issue,the thing to watch out for is water getting up in the housing,the centrifugal clutch doesnt like it.
  21. Bugger,which piles though??
  22. Yep 50% of sunscreens didn't met Their claim but they still protect.

    Clams

    surf clams most likely exported,what you get in the supermarket are dredge cockles and we all know the beds are thinning,lots of AK beach get closures.There was a bay on Ponui island that produce 50mm/70mm cockles right through the 70s well in to the 90s.Went back in 2012 and nil,what we found was a black sludge which has since found out is sediment washed from the beachlands area and even dredging silt from pine harbour,speaking of which since pine harbour has gone in the little island to the south of pine harbour had sweet mussels. The mussels there now will make you crook.The beach south of
  24. Like you "Aleana" had a seagull on a trailer yacht,worked fine in a tank but put it to use Hmm. Either go or not. Had enough of the damn seagull so while going through tiri passage and wanted to motor,after several attempts and fails it meet its match.It just fell off in to the depths never to resurface again. Best thing I ever did.
  25. Grease in the water?? or have I misread it??need to remove phillip type screws and pump grease in till it comes out,also hub grease points,not a in the water job.find the manual as if you undo wrong screws blades/rollers come apart and thats not what you want. previous owner did just that and ended up with spare blades and rollers
