  1. If you are near Rotorua, the Kilwell factory has a huge range of carbon tubes with small defects and priced very well too. Their range changes regularly so its worth a visit, often

    VSR Question

    Apparently https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ovz.carscanner&hl=en_GB&gl=US this has access to battery data - Version 1.98.6 has added support for the MG4. I've had a brief try of the free version, and the All Sensor list does display values for quite a lot of the EV variables, some of them jump to silly values occasionally. Things like SoC, SoH, battery cell min/max/difference values, battery voltage, instant consumption etc.

    VSR Question

    Why not buy a cheap Launch scantool or similar with Bluetooth dongle through Ali-express to get battery data
  4. Everyone is a leaseholder technically but it is like an owner, it has renewed with the council once since I've been there with no change noticed. The purchase price is fixed by the Society and all sales go through it.
  5. The Marina is a Society and supposed to operate solely for it's members boating needs, it isn't allowed to make a profit. At .present prices have risen lately due to the refurbishment of the piers. A typical lift and waterblast is around $100-130 with annual rental around $1400-$2000 PA depending on length
  6. We replaced our old main and genoa for these formed sails from Sam Burton, they were so nice to use in moderate conditions and looked like real race sails as used in real competition race boats
  7. Why is it so critical to have an audible alarm for low voltage? This seems to be a regulation for commercial operations or similar.
  8. I have checked the fine print in my insurance policy and I can't find any reference to the above standard or anything regarding Lithium batteries, there must be heaps of Lithium batteries installed already especially with the promotion of Drop-In units, we'll see what the future brings
  9. By isolating the negative side through which all circuits commonly use as CD illustrates above, it switches everything off. If you want to individually isolate individual circuuits then put in isolating switches for those circuits. It doesn't matter which side as electrical systems are circuits and won't flow until the circuit is complete.
  10. Looks to be a new Rapido 40 in NZ, seen being commissioned in Tauranga
  11. Gas fitters can issue a compliance cert that is suitable for the insurance company, it includes signs, new hose, auto shut off, gas pressure test, CO meter etc. it can be expensive depending on each installation
  12. My survey/condition report had to be an out of water survey carried out by a surveyor or boat builder but it wasn't as intensive as a pre-purchase survey
  13. The gas cert was only part of the requirement of Vero, they wanted boat survey, rig check and sail replacement record so it was quite expensive. 30 year old boat was the trigger
  14. Maybe, I could microwave the roast, that would be quicker!
  15. I was thinking that it is more achievable now with LiFePo4 batteries that have greater charging and discharging rates -C- and cooking time being short mostly, the expensive part are the batteries, but there seems to be lots of set ups that conflict, I was thinking a 400aH battery with a 2000W inverter with dual input DC-DC charger solar/alternator limiting charging integrated with a automatic changeover switch in my existing 230V system
