    VP2003 to DI 30

    Hi, what difference between the 2 models.( it maybe a 2003,looks like one)
  4. Mine is 2003 shaft drive. Can you replace with DI 30 engine/saildrive, and bolt my gearbox on the back instead. Googled VP engine bed adapter (hypothetical)

    Looks like good idea to check what payments you have going on on Paypal. I can get Windy free. What advantage when you pay?

    Bloody Windy

    Have just taken $33 out by Paypal.(dont know why I paid last year)Can I get that back? And how do I stop that happening again next year?
  8. Pm's are meant to be private aren't they? I dont see anything private
  9. Actually see I have done pm before. Not so dumb.
  10. I've never done a pm in my life. So I shall try(in Opua)
  11. Would like, if still available, that Next Step reg, thanks
  12. I leave the mainhatch and the forehatch open. Guess there is still no air flow. Wooden boat.
  13. in main saloon! Drip,drip,drip.Thinking can clamp an old sheet to the ceiling. Will it work?
  14. Wheels,tell me you were joking when you said NZ fishing companies act to ensure the stocks are healthy and maintained.
  15. Think I,ll remove and sell.Too hard to winch up and winch down.Go electric be better part of $2g.Cant see the advantage.Why would you bother? Anybody?
  16. Yes, went thru dispute, but it auto turned closed, as I didnt return the goods on time.(since never received) You tick 'refund and return' and they are meant to waive the return.
  17. Well that ended in tears.$326 actually.They tried to get more money before would send.Now they telle to return for refund and I tell them never received so rather hard. Repeat.And their tracking shows Arr AKL on11/6; deliver 13/6.Amazingly fast eh.So never again AliExpress for me.
  18. Just been making insection ports in the ss diesel tank.Is there a way of pressure testing for leaks.(No 230volts.)

    Diesel bug

    What is the latest thinking please? Tank drained,(cant remove,and no inspection hole).What to do?
  21. Thats on my to do list. What is the best thing to do with a rusty starter motor? How would a wrapping of Denso Tape work? Too hot?
  22. Very strange.Tracking my new budget buy.Says arrive in destination country, then delivered yesterday.Not!!Then notice them saying miscalculated postage and want another $20 and then it will leave China. WTF.Mind, they lied about the start of covid so this will be nothing.

    VP2003 trans

    Early ones are prone to stripping the input or output shaft. In the UK there is a wk/shop who specialize in this repair for about 300(?)quid, by converting you to a hex shaft(?) What would you do in NZ if this trans loss happened to you?(just being a boy scout)
  24. No thanks.Mainly because can buy out of China for not much over $300 landed.
  25. They have 2 nipples on bottom pointing down. Think could cut rectangle hole in a washboard and have it sitting outside in the cockpit. Beauty is no installation, just need 12v. I cant run ducting under furniture cos of tanks etc
