Launched my new long awaited boat Stacer 4.89 Nomad fitted with a 60HP Honda Picked it up last Tuesday
So put her in At the Georges River for a motor run in, so a slow run to the Bay
as Per instructions, 30min low Revs 45 Med Revs Etc All went very well. Got to the Bridges
in the cold wet weather Sure can pick them .... Decided to switch on the pump to check to see
if the Live bait tank was filling Ok .. Whoops looked at the pump in the bilge area to see a steady
dripping coming into the boat, Then switched to the front plumbed live well and noticed as stream of water
comming from a split in the feeder Hose DoH! Ok not a big problem all can be fixed.
headed out to the Bay Pretty dirty weather but a good test. Turned around and headed back to Woollaware bay for
a Flatty spin , Dropped down my NEW I Pilot Minn Kota and to my suprise found it was running in reverse WTF!!!
So a call to the dealer is required tomorrow to explain the problems and give him the opportunity to rectify these issues.
After all i was very pleased with the ride and dryness. All in All Love the new boat.
Cheers Tom
