Hey Terry, hows things? Here's the new sled. One from the maiden voyage to Motutapu. Second one from the yard.





Is it just me, or is that boat trailer bent at the back?

You could be right. Not uncommon for the arse end of a galve trailer to get a wee bit of brewers droop as the years go by. Theres certainly a lot of weight pushing down on what is a cantilevered piece of box section.
The big gemini inflatable that is used to go out to the Rainbow warrior wreck from Matauri bay had a trailer with a 6 inch bend in it.
Geez that thing had to deal with some weight though... Fat divers, tanks , waves over the stern all at the same time- daily.
It was remarkable that it held together. It was the first time I have ever seen the "S' hook that goes through the bow eye get straightened out under pressure.

Most of the Rescue Vessels now carry jump packs - some are the large grunty 12 & 24 volt packs. 

Normal procedure would include a check to make sure it's safe to use them - any dodgy looking wiring or sign of fuel fumes etc and it would more than likely be put away in favour of a tow.

Skipper of the vessel being assisted would normally then be heavily involved to ensure they're 100% happy with it's use to ensure the responsibility for any potential damage remains with them.

Sorry steps you are completely wrong. they will jump start are you a member?? Not going to argue with a expert of all matters.

 Stand corrected...
Been a CG menber for last decade or so ans also way back in the 70s.
 We had a battery die in the Waiheke channel fe yrs back.. no jumper and got towed home.

Coastguard has definitely jump started more boats over the years than they have towed home. Prior to jump start battery packs being available the rescue kit  on every coastguard duty vessel, private or coastguard owned, included a set of of heavy duty, very long, jump start cables. Still have a set on my boat from those times. ]]> Thu, 02 Sep 2021 09:45:47 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=135846&PID=1814202&title=small-boat-overnighting#1814202
