I can understand her concern.

Live Where?

Bon Accord is slowly emptying as lots of fizzyz and yachts that sheltered from the SW,er have now headed North, The Boat club (Cafe) is open some of the time, shortage of staff, the main reason for shorter hours. Many of the bigger fizzys are definitely going slower, probably because of the almost doubling of Diesel prices.

the piece of string may be attached to the stop lever?? push the lever away from the string and try again. if it is the stop lever it might be missing a spring?? It certainly seems to want to run.

I second the outboard primer pump, I've used one for the last 18 years, It can be where it is most accessible, and yes the bug is a bugger to remove. your filters will be a give away if you have it. I think Fish is talking about the water trap sight glass???

The pump will be probably be a Jabsco or Johnson, the model no. should be on the cover. there are agents in Auckland, parts are pricey but once done you probably wont need to go there again. (but do carry a spare impellor) (the pump) probably looks worse than it is, a clean and "polish" it could look like new.The rest as Island Time says. Interesting that the ex pipe doesn't seem to be cooled yet it is clamped into a (Rubber) hose??? Cleaned up and a tidy box over it you would hardly know it is there, until you start it.

I noticed that too and wondered what it was. Looked like a cockpit drain or something. Surely thats going to suck air into the system causing overheating. [/quote] Agreed. And the impeller appears to be on the wrong side of the water filter. The filter is supposed to protect the impeller but the impeller is connected directly to the seacock and what looks like a filter is on the outlet of the impeller. The filter if we are looking at the same thing is actually the engine water heat exchanger, the engine must be freshwater cooled. Must be a header tank somewhe

Thats got to be 45 degrees at least, a hell of a lot further than my old beemer on trials tyres, some mud might even things up a little though!!

Was going to post exactly the same, Google, Google!

My father was on the SS Tahiti, which was taking Kiwi soldiers to England in 1918. He was one of the many who caught Spanish Flu after the Tahiti stopped in Africa on the way there, he was extremely ill and barely survived, many others died and were buried at sea very quickly because of the high temperatures. Luckily for most of the survivors the war ended while they were on Salisbury plain waiting to embark for Europe. He became a pacifist and was too old to be conscripted by the time WW2 started, He spent most of WW2 based at the submarine depot at Tikou bay in Akaroa harbour. He said they n

There is a Rossi in the moto3 field, one of his? or maybe a nephew?

I hope someone has told the Dolphins that they can't come and surf on my bow wave anymore, or swim along side just because they like to. The only reasons that Dolphins are in short supply in the B.o.I is that their food chain is disappearing, the less food there is for the stingrays and other dolphin tucker they soon look somewhere else and of course the Dolphins follow.

Hot RE with Bling!!!

does it by chance have a remote?

That is some shot, did he recover it?

And Parua bay!

Perhaps we should be taking the regional councils to task as it is the water they claim to control that is doing the contaminating to the boats in the first place, not the boats in it. Another thought re the cleaning of hulls, I wonder if the councils have ever watched a mussel barge harvesting the mussels, now that is a huge amount of "contamination" material!

It would have been last year at least.

They may well have been the ones my friend used, he was sure they were approved.

Re coppercoat, A friend at Sandspit had coppercoat applied, by an yacht painter who did all the prep etc. required for coppercoat. He had been lead to believe the painter was an accredited Coppercoat tradesman. He later found that when it started to fail within a year of application that he had been misinformed. He contacted the official coppercoat folk. He said they gave him no support, basically, didn't want to know, and very soon washed their hands of the whole deal. Beware, do your homework, applied properly you can probably be as happy as BP is. Alternately you could end up like my

Anyone interested in flat head R71 / Ural / Chang Jiang Gasket etc could pm me.

To us it is miraculous, to the birds it is normal, just what they do.

They sure are, given that they are the shape of an egg, weakest point would be how they are fastened to the deck. Mine is over 40 years old, fastened by several suitable bolts. A couple of which (now) allow a drop or two through in heavy conditions. Today there are so many top class adhesives / sealants available probably any bolts / screws would only be for location.

Very good all round shelter at the top end of Whangaruru, wonderful if you are a centreboarder, catamaran, not quite so much if you draw 2m + used to be a reasonable amount of pipis there, probably still is.
