The new cell permit comes from The NZ ENC service https://encservice.linz.govt.nz/sites/default/files/2020-07/Guide to NZ ENC Permit_0.pdf Once you get it all going again write down what you did for future reference as you unfortunately will need to do it again sometime.

I have fitted a Fleming servo pendulum unit to the deck of Stormbird. If you would like to look at it to get some ideas PM to arrange. The boat is at Westhaven.
