    Fixing cracks in a fibreglass spinner

    My little Airtourer aircraft has a 12-1/16" diameter by 13-1/4" depth fibreglass spinner. It has developed cracks over the years and I'd love to find out how viable it could be to repair it, as a new one is $924! Ouch. Any help from fibreglassing gurus appreciated... TII

    Where to stay? Dallas or Fort Worth?

A bit of advice about where to stay for an overnight stop would be appreciated - looking for something to do for an afternoon, so somewhere with some historical sites/a...

    Don't know if you're getting much news coverage over in the USA, but you may wish to know that we're experiencing terrible floods, inland tsunamis and several fatalies here in south-east Queensland. Check out some of the images here...

    Yamaha F115 oil pressure indication

    G'day fellow iboats people, Been a long time since I could get on, but a change of ISP has cured that. Anyway, I've bought a new boat with a 2009 F115. Square digital gauges are fitted. The motor runs perfectly but I can't get the oil pressure gauge within the tach to work. There are no other...

    The truth behind Quinnie's numbering system

    Does anyone know whether it's true that Quintrex build a hull at a certain length... let's say 5m as an example - and then market it every year as a slightly higher number. For instance the first year of the Millenium II hull they called their 5m hull a 475, then last year they called it a 480...

    Impeller changed on FT60B

    I finally got brave and changed the impeller and all recommended bits using a kit from Yamaha. Cost Aus$63. Easy job and the bits were still in great working order with no corrosion of bolts or inside. I'm a happy and only slightly poorer man financially and a much richer man in knowledge...

    Quintrex paint bubbling

    Has anyone else got a problem with bubbling paint? My 2003 cuddy has blistered paint under the windscreen seal, along some of the gunwale joins and the paint's falling off the bases of the hand rails. :(

    Need advice on a 4WD campervan

    A friend of mine is in the process of planning a "round the World" driving trip. He figures that most of the World drives on the right side of the road, therefore he wants a left hand drive (LHD) car. He then figured he needs to have a camper that is 4WD and diesel powered. <br />So his...

    Too cute to eat??

    Over the weekend I caught a little Wobbegong - also known as Port Jackson shark or "gummy shark". It was well over 75 cm long and weighed about three kg. I've sent Dunaruna a picture to post for me... I've done something stupid with my computer and can't get Photobucket to work. The reason for...

    Black Marlin fights back and wins!

    Just saw a news article. A young kid hooked up a big Black Marlin and almost got it onto the boat. Just about to land the thing when it leapt out of the water and landed almost on top on the guy in the boat giving him a bloody nose. The guy's sister caught the whole thing on video. <br />Marlin...
