-
So the question is ......... When will we see any of these inventions

You can already buy the motors from ebay for about $6 delivered from China and they work great

Theres a large pond behind the swimming pool / Woolworths at Egalevale / Campbelltown that holds large carp. have seen fish pulled out of there well over 5 kilos

Hi, If the rod holder is on a 30 degree angle, then the hole will have to be more like an oval shape. Get a piece of scrap ply wood or something and do a test hole first, that way you can see if the rod holder sits nicely in the hole. Then you can use it as a template. If you dont want to spend the money on a hole saw, just mark out the hole and drill a series of holes around the marked area and punch it out

Make your own Sinking Stickbait - from a Paintbrush Handle! DIY
Sanfly replied to arpie's topic in The Workshop
I was thinking that would be some thing I would like to have a go at as well But by the end of it. I too thought it would take to long to make and it does not cost that much to buy any way But really enjoyed watching the video Cheers -
Wow good job, that will add some more value to the boat
-
Hi, To make the lead go further, put some off cuts of rio bar in the centre of the mould. You can pick it up on building sites for free

Hi I have a Saragosa 18000 and was intending to use it for some trolling and bottom bashing ect I have up to $300 to spend on a rod I was thinking of the Shimano Ocea off shore rod Would anyone have any other suggestions that would be better for that sort of money Thank you cheers
-
Hi, car'nt you just get a one way valve / hose conector Or make one, a piece of conduit with a marble in it ect. which should solve that problem
-
I think you might be right you know Maybe a simple right angle elbow and a small length of pipe pointing to the bottom But over all a nice job anyway keep up the good work
-
I like it, good job
-
Hi, You might be better off just going to a new boat sales yard and check out how the new boats have thier set ups as I'm sure they have invested a lot of time and money to get it right. That way you can pick up some good ideas that will look good in your boat and see how its done exactly
-
Google images and it will show you ........
-
Looks good Did you put weep holes in it to let any water out that may get in
-
Hi I have a 470 coastrunner and they have used rivets on it Maybe if using bolts they might have a better chance of coming undone
-
Thanks for that cheers
-
Hi Does any one know where I can get some rod building thread in the Sydney metro area gudebrod or speed brand as none of the tackle shops sell it in my area Campbelltown I would like to buy a half a dozen or so different colours Thanks
-
Hi GaryO They cost me $60 each They used 12mm marine ply for the base and the foam is 75mm thick plus a thin piece of dakron on top I think he said. plus the vinyl is for out door / marine use The lids are 500mm x 380mm He is at Campbelltown
-
Hi If you wanted it to be water proof you would have to have a raised lip around the opening Or the water would seep in Last month got caught out in gale force winds and took heeps of spray into the boat and didnt get any water in it But if it was left in the rain Im sure water would seep under the seat but I keep my boat under cover when not in uses any way
-
VHF are the way to go and they are only around the $250 mark new I dont think the hand helds have a strong a signal strength as the other ones I think that if you ever get yourself into trouble you will wish that you would have spent the $250 I know I would the sea is very unforgiving and can turn nasty very quickly so how much is your life worth..........up to you

Hi tuffy I already asked the fibreglass place about the flowcoat and he said you carnt use it on epoxy resin But said I can mix in some white or which colour tint I wanted in with the apoxy resin and paint that on and it would do the job but I have not got enough epoxy left to finish the inside with colour So in the end storage sections I just put some grey out door mats and left the esky part as is Thanks for the idea anyway Cheers Sanfly

Hi Geoff Ive got black non slip rubber under each end which they use in the back of utes you can just see it in the pics if you look close at it It seems to do the job although havnt tested it yet But I might put some velcro under it just to make sure as I dont want to drill holes in it On the week end Ill put a rule bilge pump in the esky part I picked up a brand new one today for $15 off of gumtree still in the packet the guy never got round to using it as he sold his boat ..... Cheers Steve

Cheers ........ only thing was that it cost me more than what I thought it would at least it will help save some space I guess....... Cheers
