Posting parts to Australia

Hello all, I am in need of some advice on shipping/posting outboard parts from the UK to Australia. Who's done it and what method/service did you use? Can smaller packages eg barrels, pistons etc be sent by regular post or does it have to be via a courrier? What are the most cost effective, yet reli...

Re: Owners of Australian Riptide Outboards - Call to Action

Surprise its a brass one and looks like a bit of wear and rough scratches on the fins of the impeller on it thought the casing seems scratch free. Would like a couple close up pics of the ha...

Re: Australian Hurricane

Have been watching that since it was posted yesterday.

Unfortunately it’s not the water-cooled version, but still very collectible.

Re: Owners of Australian Riptide Outboards - Call to Action

Excellent Raya, thanks for taking the time to record the serial number.

As you say, it’s a Riptide Boatman made by Westcott Hazel Industries in 1960. Will add it to the records.

As a matter of interest, could you share with us it’s location please.

Thanks & Regards
Spiro

Both seem to be in very re-usable condition. What I would like to know is the type of sealant that is recommended for...
