Hi Raiders Thanks for your support. I have found the problems which everyone here should learn (I learned it hard way). After a helpful technician called me after 3 days. I took both of the items to the local Garmin Office. 1-The instruction from Garmin is miss-leading. The Fuel Sensor requires 2 power sources. 1 for the unit itself another one to power up the network. 2-God damn the fuse. The fuse from the sensor has been blown up (I think I did it accidentally). Problem solved by Garmin Technician. Cheers

Thanks mate. Garmin has called me this morning and I took both units to the local office. They fixed it. Cheers

Hi Raider, Not sure someone got similar problem likes me. Apparently, I bought a new GFS-10 fuel sensor to connect to my Fish Finder 556S. Just follow the instruction to connect all cables from the box picture, however I was struggling to make my Fish Finder to detect new sensor. I called Garmin support line and they are USELESS. Talked to their call center somewhere in India, the operator does not know what they are doing. Finally, she said Garmin Marine support department will give me a call within 24-48 Hrs. Until now I got jack from them. Never buy Garmin product again. I have few pictures. If someone here has some experience. Please help me to troubleshoot this. Thanks a lot Cheers

Hi, I got it from Super Cheap Auto. Yes, it does charge the battery. However, I am not sure if there is downside for the battery. My one is Century 720 Pro comes with deep cycle. I also have new Ctek 5MXS powe charger too. But it is not convienine to charge the battery with power. Cheers Cheers

Hi Raiders, Howdy? I hope you guys have a good weekend. Just a wonder around, I have a marine battery for my boat and also a solar charger. I am not sure if someone here using solar charger to charge battery during storage (winter) ? Is it recommened ? or just use power charger. Cheers

Hi raiders, If it is an art of making lure I have nothing to say. I am not sure if this one works. if it works it will be very painfull to loose it (26 Hrs works) what a master piece. For me, i prefer spend $15 to buy a lure that warranty work and save me 26 hrs of hard labour. Cheers

Hi Raider, Anyone has successully build this one yet? I am interested if anyone here got this one. Cheers

Well done mate and Welcome to NSW (far more better than VIC, more fish i think heheh). Well about the East or West side of the brigde fish is just a caution. Rememeber that fish can swim from east to west and vicesa versa.

Hi Bob, I am using Garmin 556 and have no complaint about it. You can have a look at anther brand Raymarine DragonFly. It is pretty impressive. I am not a big fan of GME. Cheers

Yeah, not sure they include GST in there too.

Hi Huey, You are 100% right about the cuddy thing. As far as I know only 4.8 Brumby version has cuddy. I am not sure this guy giving me a wrong information. Anyway, it does not matter about a lenght as long as it is cuddy I am happy. About the trailer, thats my main concern. I have asked him to send me more pictures to know the status of it and I will get the boat inpsector to have a look at it before pay him the money. Cheers

Hi Huey, First of all I would like to thank you for your advise. I will call Bakker for help. It is a polycraft 4.5 cuddy 2003 model with 50HP 4 strokes Suzuki. They want it for $7500 for me it is good bagain. However, the only downside of it is the trailer in poor condition. Thats why I need someone to inspect the boat before I can buy it. If you know someone in Brisbane, please advise me too. By the way, I have seen a lot of good comments about your service. I hope I can use your service some day near the future. Cheers

Hi guys, I am about to buy a boat. I live in SydneyNSW , a boat I am going to buy is in QLD. If you guys know someone in Brisbane or Gold Coast do a boat inspection and a good towing service from QLD to NSW. Please advise me. Thanks heaps SleepyDragon.

Hi Raiders, As we all know that glow stick or glow lure/bait products are on the market, I do fishing at night from time to time. However, i don't see a lot of glow fishing line. The only the Maxima "FIBRE GLOW" fishing line and Stren Microfuse Braid Glacier Blue but they are not really glow a lot at night time. I am not sure if any other glow fishing line that is really glow or any add on product can help the line glow at night time. If anyone here know any glow fishing line product please help. Thanks

Hi Jestor, I just sent you an PM.
