Re: Selling in AU or NZ?

As I understand it, AUS tax is based on the price I gave for the boat, whereas in NZ it will be the selling price.

Re: Convert from 240 VAC to 120 VAC

Actually, the current will be 1/2 and hence the power 1/4, when you are talking about heaters. Motors are not quite that simple, depends on the application.

Re: Shaft turning while sailing, Perkins PRIMA 50M

If you want to engage the gear to avoid the shaft from turning when under sail, it is normally recommended to put it in REVERSE. This is to avoid damage on the gearbox, which is not designed to have...

Re: Perkins 4236 blue smoke
