INVESTIGATOR 563

Investigated the "Evershower" base pans dimensions. They're 50.5cm x 50.5 cm so would fit into an I563 cockpit floor (about 52cm wide on the flat, 58cm wide between walls which also slope outwards. The max height of its frame is 2.2m, might need the boom topped up. The basepans height is 1...

That SODBOSCO shower looks great Ozzie, have saved your instructions for later reference. Would like to try it out, not too many parts to "break down" and spare parts not a problem :) Online browse the aquacubes, the new lithium12v rechargeable ones cost twice that of the old 12V only unit...

G'day everyone, Seems like not much info on showers and bucket baths aboard, how to wash all that encrusted salt, sand and mud off. On Teria i've just used the old yachties favorite, a sponge/cup and bucket bath (with or without hot water added). It's cheap, simple, never fails and an absolute water...

Bob has a great story with Zoe Amelia, thanks for reviving it Ozzie. Plenty of food for thought there with the sweeps/beaching legs/ bowsprits. Bob was doing similar style Island cruising to what Teria does, and only a couple 100kms south of here. Perhaps a collapsible coleman camp oven (or similar)...

Merry Xmas Ozzie and crew, hope next year is a good one on the water and on land too

Cheers

This video from Sailing Uma popped up on my utube feed today. They visited a big trade show in Amsterdam recently (for 3 days) which has a pleothora of advanced boat electric companies (some well established , others startups) displaying their hardware, software and some with fully integrated e-prop...

Yes, it's quite portable Ozzie, reckon it could go anywhere (like ute trayback camping, beach etc) Found a couple more stowage spots aboard. As there's no foward bunk matresses installed in Teria, it fits just foward of the arch bulkhead to either side and also right up in the bow under foredeck beh...

A great day Peter, glad the trailer went well. Allot of thought and effort has gone into it all, it's always amazing to see a boat come alive in it's true element. Cheers

Discovered a battery conditioning product for flooded lead acid batteries called "INOX - MX2". Bought a 90ml bottle for a 100AH battery for A$10. My battery has made it over 4 years old so far, hoping this stuff can revive it a bit, extend it's life and increase efficiency (The price of a ...
