Re: Endeavourcat 30 New owner

Thanks to your advice I mustered up sufficient courage to pull the pump assembly out, identify it and seek further information. I found a very helpful Australian distributor and pulled the machine...

Re: Endeavourcat 30 New owner

Thank you for your assistance. I have not considered the possibility that something could be binding in the pivot mechanism but it could explain the problem. I assumed that the system pumped the pod...

Re: Endeavourcat 30 New owner

Hi folks, greetings from Down Under. My 1992 EndeavourCat30 hydraulic pod has developed a serious problem. After a 7 month period of inactivity it now operates extremely slowly and draws nearly 150...

Re: Are tranpolines REALLY necessary?

Are trampolines really necessary? The answer is no. We have an EndeavourCat 30 which, sailed by previous owners, has crossed the Pacific from the USA to Australia. We have sailed through the Bass...

Re: How much LPG (Propane/Butane) do cruising yachts carry?

We carry 2 x 9kg for cooking - easy and quick changeover when you run out part way through cooking dinner - and another 9kg on the back to run the bbq. Getting lpg, even in Australia, when you’re...

Re: Teak decks. Should I run away????

We had a beautiful World Explorer 45 and I’m sure that only 10% of the deck screws leaked. The problem was finding which of the thousands were part of the 10%. I gave up. The new owner removed the...

Re: The Reality of Living in Australia and Covid

A friend of yours yes? Australia is struggling to keep Covid19 under control but your friend still feels the need to travel interstate and then whinges about a nose bleed. Poor bugger.

Re: is good rope the same as expensive rope

Seriously, no stretchy nylon dock lines? That’s against all the advice I’ve ever had.

Re: Endeavourcat 30 New owner

G’day from Downunder (aka Australia). Hope you’re enjoying your EndeavourCat as much as we are. My steering cable appears to be a length of flexible wire rope which should be available from any...

Re: Removing/Preventing Aluminum Oxide in Water Tanks

I scraped mine out after creating top access to the three baffled sections of the 550litre tank. Then I coated the insides, including the top, with Jotun primer and Jotun TankGuard. I use a charcoal...

Re: dogs in the whitsunday islands

Yes there sure are. Too many people don’t care about the native fauna. Too many people seem to enjoy the sensation of doggie doo between their toes without regard for those who don’t share their...

Re: Lithium to power thruster

But seriously, only silly people would use other than LiFePO4 batteries on a boat and re-hashing old tales about lithium ion fires is also not useful.

Re: Low Budget Lifepo4 Experiences anyone?

Aye Keith, you’re right. But smoke signals were much cheaper and more reliable than cell phones but they’re not used much anymore either.

Re: Low Budget Lifepo4 Experiences anyone?

Bought two of these 100ah LiFePO4 batteries in December 2016 for AUD$900 including freight and, touch wood, they are working well.

Re: Endeavourcat 30 New owner

Hi Chris. We still have the port side plastic water tank. The large aluminium water tank, I think it used to be a fuel tank, on the starboard side was rather a big mess, possibly a reaction between...

Re: Not another portable generator thread!

[QUOTE=coopec43;3350019]I've just bought myself a Gentrax (suit-case style) 3.5 KVA generator for $739. They are vastly more popular in Australia than the overpriced Honda.

Re: Endeavourcat 30 New owner

Re: Endeavourcat 30 New owner

As for the cruise ....
We were pleased that we still had the 60 hp high thrust Yamaha, particularly when crossing river bars. Even with 5 knot outgoing tides, at 3000rpm Purrfect goes where I point...

Re: Hot shower options good enough for the girlfriend to move in

I am perplexed. Why would anyone want to publicly proclaim that they are thieves? The fact that you mention “sneak aboard” more than once suggests that you are proud of it. Sad.
