    Electric Car

    Cars do not have enough area to make an appreciable difference to the range. example I get 7.5 km per KWH a 250 watt panel will product 1kwh if in good direct sun light in 4 hours and a 250 watt panel is approx. 1.6m x 1m So realistically you would get 10 km of range per day if you covered your car
  2. Yes compulsory licensing works well! just look at the car drivers licensing, no one ever speeds, crosses centre lines, over takes in the wrong place, go through red lights, runs from the police etc. And that is with 9004 sworn police
  3. Do you have an oil cooler ?
  4. I would have thought 4kw would be bit small ?
  5. Would be tempting to return some rocket flares
  6. If we compare this to the guy who steals a car, picks up some mates, does a runner from the police and then crashes injuring is mates What would you expect his fine to be ?

    Props

    Myjane how long do you find the anodes last, I have heard people complain that they do not last long
  8. One thing I would add to wheels post is I would use a neutral cure silicone that has no anti fungal added, sealant suitable for fish tanks, acetoxy silicones can on certain metals can cause corrosion
  9. Your motor is able to produce 18 hp at 2000 rpm that would burn 3 l/hour but your prop is not using 18 hp
  10. Thanks for you reply's I think that is probably best, just a bit of a nuisance having to take them in with winds regularly over gale force Auto correct
  11. I am very confused about all of this, I have asked the marina but they don't know and could not tell me what code they are working to ! They just gave me a name of an electrician I could employ to tell me what I need. All I want is to have a battery charger on from time to time to top up the batteries, so it would be unattained. They are telling me I need to wire the boat up with an RCD, I would have thought the RCD on the pedestal should be protecting the lead and hard wiring the boat up is just duplication of this
  12. You use to be able to get it from burnsco
  13. I use the met service forecast for cook strait. Yes brothers is normally one of the winder places http://www.cruiseguide.co.nz

    Empty marinas

    I'm just go to talk to the hookers darling so I can see how the economy is going
  17. Where is your sense of adventure
  18. Most would go east coast as there are more options if the weather turns bad
  19. Water in your oil will make it go milky colour.
  20. If it did work all the commercial operators would be using it
  21. Giving them a good wipe over with lanolin with help keep the corrosion away
