  1. Funny thing- welded up homemade Bruce while at Marsden pt. Towed behind tractor in wet sand, dry sand- she just skated along on top. Thought dang it, got galvanised and has provided faultless service ever since. Best ever.
  2. It's like it's impossible to turn on. Gradually got stiffer and stiffer and now can't turn at all
  3. Bumping-anyone. Has anyone taken their stove apart? Is it doable?( Burnsco sale closing soon)

    Gas storage

    On deck. Not being used- spare bottle. Okay lying on its side?
  5. Say you were cruising around the Sounds, would it be feasible to get the mailboat to drop you off some fresh supplies? How would you organise?
  6. Have a Parkinson 2 burner and the favoured knob becoming very hard to turn on. Are there any user repair possible or time to replace whole thing?
  7. Do you know? Have a raytheon 2000 and would like a backup. Would the mounting pins be interchangeable?
  8. Thought I saw a black schooner in Lake Te Anau(?) today. Any info?
  9. Have had a Veon for 2yrs and then put DVD in back to front which was a bigger mistake than I thought it would be. Had to strip apart and parts left over so DVD kaput now. Interestingly the bare steel chassis etc had no rust and as good as new.
  10. Suspend a couple of lead weights in tandem on inside from the top. Positioned so they are dangling in the outlet. How would that go to prevent not draining?

    Shroud rollers

    Retrofitted. Any suggestions? PVC pipe and slit I suppose.
  17. HarryTom 're a declaration. My understanding is yes but it is the relatives back home who kick up the stink about why you aren't being rescued.
  18. Still there today Monday. Winches gone. Water inside but think hull intact. Ecan searching for the new owner.
  19. Didn't show on trademe but word is it sold for $1
  20. Agree with JB but to minimise the expense you can do all that yourself with a cut-off disc (& safety glasses) Drilling you might need to use a guy with a drillpress.
  21. Could you buy the SS and cut/fabricate yourself then just take to a guy to just do the welding.

    Working with SS

    Thanks-solar panel mount. Using 1" canopy fittings with grub screws. Haven't welded anything.Now do you drill a wee hole/big hole or no hole at all for the grubscrew point?
  23. One inch 316 tubing. To bolt to it I can flatten the last 2 inch and drill thru it, or can drill thru it without flattening and use a longer bolt. Any preference?
