  1. Top water means catching something on the surface right using a top water lure! eg not a weighted plastic or a bibbed HB???
  2. Roughly where in the bay were you fishing mate and what lures did the damage?
  3. I would buy a Pro Mariner onboard charger to charge you lecky battery only
  4. mate I know the area well. The hole is on the western side off the 2nd most northern pilon. If you found 13-15m in the area you have found the hole my friend!
  5. If you do that its a completely different motor with the Link. not something you can just add on later
  6. Hi mate, I would be running an 80LB with the 72" shaft. It will be 24v so only need 2 batteries. If it was over 6.5m with a cabin then I would go either the Motor Guide 105lb or the Minn Kota 112lb both of which are 36v so 3 batteries needed!
  7. maybe its because on my Minn Kota on board battery charger mate
  8. my mechanic told to when he fitted my boat up and why risk not doing it???
  9. I do and would definitely unplug before charging!
  10. yeah as others have said the 55lb will be fine on your boat but I would also consider the 60"shaft. Your better to have it too long rather than not long enough!!
  11. You should be running braid with fluorocarbon leader mate
  12. Have you purchased a motor yet?
  13. you have 8 buttons on the MG XI5 remote which you can save as both waypoints and/or tracks. Problem with the tracks is that you have to record them first before being able to track or follow them. But with the waypoints even if its not connected to your sounder you can record 8 different marks and come back in 3 months ( or 3 years) for example and if your within 6km of that point, you press the certain number and the motor guide will drive you back to that position and literally anchor you there. I have the MG 80lb 24v and my GPS is far more accurate than showed in that video. As for the Minn Kotas the auto deploy (ulterra models) are not available in 55lb thrusts on the 80lb and 112lb thrusts. Also the Motor guide are about $400 - $600 cheaper which will buy you a good quality AGM battery!
  14. its now privately owned so you either need a yearly pass or pay something like $45 to enter!!!
  15. The ban on non-complient carby 2 strokes has been lengthened until June 30th 2020 due to the drought and farmers who need to sell their stock of gardening equipment but are having difficulty doing so due to the drought etc.
  16. the last 2 numbers of your HIN number will tell you the year it was built.
  17. Only Motor Guide connect up to Lowrance/Simrad while Minn Kota connect to Humminbird only.
  18. Mate, for your 5.6m I would go the Motor Guide Xi5 80lb with a 72"shaft and GPS. With the gateway kit you will be able to connect it to your sounder
  19. definitely not carp. mullet 100% the rivers full óf them
