we have done this before off bass point before years ago, not catching bugger all, grabed the snorkel gear and a bit of line and bait and dangled in front of the fish noses, not interested just swam around it
-
Sunk twice !!!, not sure I want to commute with him, hahahahah
-
Bugger, must have it the wrong way around then, must be nylon, the piece of plastic is going no where!
-
get a piece of polyethylene not nylon chopping board
sika to back , use a large enough piece and it wont go anywhere
like this I did for my transducer

Coming from the Murray-Darling district, these pests have always become fertilizer and never released.
However, before you go sticking them in your garden, here's an interesting alternative. A couple of local fishos have found salted carp fillets to be their #1 bait for some very big snapper. These blokes head inland for a week, catch kill and fillet these mongrel pests and convert them into 'baked snapper'.
Cheers

That guy off fishing australia was using carp fillets as bait off the house boat in the clyde river, reckoned it was nice and tough to stay on the hook

there are no freak waves, just waves in all sizes !!!!
-
It may be dumb question but what are they doing wrong, it doesn't matter to me , just wondering ???
-
I've got mine mounted on the curve but have it mounted right on the edge, so this straightens it up a bit, I also have a piece of nylon mounted under the quick release puck, the angle doesn't seem to make a difference but there is a bit of flexing of the aluminium,
I also didn't mount mine right at the nose, so i didn't have to cut the bow rails and also so it fitted in with my windscreen better, and it hasn't seem to make a difference

I use the berkely ramp next to the fish and chip shop, good ramp, jetty near by, not busy unless tralier sailers turn up in the arvo, and if you have no luck you cna go the fish shop next door !!!

hi guys
i got the same unit from the states last year. it works well and does everything it is supose to do i use the built in uni maps and that works fine.
the only down side is that the unit works in imperial measurements and can not be changed but you are saving a few hundred dollars and thats a big bonus.
i would recomend buying from the states but on the other hand it is good to support local shops too.
cheers
I brought a 798 SI from OS, feet isn't a issue, divide by 3, speed , does it really matter how fast your going, temp, I laminated and stuck a conversion next to the sounder, saved $600, and I only fish lakes and rivers so the uni map is fine, no detail on the navionics card for there anyway
-
Do they use much battery power??
2 tenths of bugger all

I did have another thought on this thunderace (nice name by the way, I used to ride one til a truck pancaked it!).
You'll want to watch the depth of the leg if you have everyone standing on the other side of the boat. If you run it out of the water there's a small chance you could burn the motor out. That could depend on the quality of the motor I guess.
Yep, I still own one, 100K and still going
Yes I reckon I will have to run with the motor as far down as it will go
Thanks

This what i brought
look up game.valley on e.b.a.y. , 2 x WHITE 48 LED Strip Light For all Style Cars 12V
I put inside a 10mm aluminium channel, and double sided tape to underneath the gunnells
I also built a dimmer for the LEDs as they are very bright at full strength
the two photos at the bottom doesn't show the true extent of the dimming
-
I'm buying a Minn Kota for the front of my runabout (with windscreen), below there are two option for mounting,
The second one allows me to keep both bow rails and it is also easier to release (as it's less distance to learn over) obviously this method will put the motor a bit further off centre, is this a issue ?????,
Thanks

Thanks for responses.
Thunderace - So that would require an engineers certificate?
After going thru the process of trying to uprate a hull, unless the manufacturer will do it, NO CHANCE, and I doubt the manufacturer will want anything to do with it either. I was only talking about 5hp difference !!!
-
you need to determine what is max for the hull not the reccommended max
-
There is a rubber plug that goes in the transducer which eliminates almost all of the roostertail
I can take a photo of it if you need
-
I've just installed the same sounder, the only the 2nd photo shows the correct perspective, from this one its pretty close to the manual, that said, it isn't hard to move it and give it a run
Also I notice that you don't have the rubber plug that goes in the bracket, it stops th bloody big rooster tail, I need a bit of oil to slip mine in

Picked up my new 798 Humminbird today, and now for the install, any ideas about head mounting or position
Thanks
Stuart

Been looking at a HDS or Humminbird 788, does the boat show have great prices on items like these. If I save $5 I'd rather buy it of someone I know
thanks
