  1. DrWatson, what are you spraying,if a boat in haulout yard there are restrictions,whether it be airless or air. fully enclosed tents seem to be the option nowdays,antifoul found good using airless and just thinned enough to come out of gun,4lts gave 3 even coats on a D28 recently.
  2. Got to be competitive with online or overseas prices. I try to buy locally as I usually want it yesterday. Recently needed some car parts,checked repco?superchep etc Found what I wanted on T/M,didnt realise it was an aussie dealer, 1/2 nz price and landed/delivered in 24hrs by dhl free shipping and up to date texts from dhl as to where when it will be delivered. How often has one been in to a marine store and have to order whats needed to be told 2/3 days and you have to follow it up?? or staff steer you to one brand as they have no idea on the other brands,
  3. Well thats bloody confusing,no difference whether sailing or motoring?? HaHa read the small print,If motoring refer to power boat rules!! Couldnt see why they would do away with a forward facing white motoring light.

  15. Lifejacket manufacturer Hutchwilco recently discovered a fault with its ‘Fisher Vest’. The inflatable bladder inside the jacket may not fully inflate when activated and burst the zipper on the outer cover. Due to this fault, the jackets could be less buoyant when activated. If you've purchased a Hutchwilco Fisher Vest, please return it to the retailer you purchased it from or contact Hutchwilco on 09 528 0788.
