Hi fish311 Going to have a crack at them this w/end never tried before can u give me any tips on rigs leader lengths hook sizes ect Cheers clemo

I have a pair of artic 1209 spotters with penertrater lenses I highly rate them I use them all day every day as I drive long distance wether its overcast or sunny there great the lenses are tough as well my average sun glass life around 6 months I've had these over 2 years

I just use a sand anchor and never had any problems

Hi mate I agree with Geoff the motor is to low Looks like it needs yo go up a inch or so u could use a block of timber on top of the transom to get the right hight shame u have to drill new holes The weight is for 4stroke application as a 40hp 4stroke might be to heavy I think a 3cyl 40hp 2stroke would go well as it would have a bit more torque than a 30 2cyl Cheers clemo

hi mate u were right the first time hate typing messages on my phone fingers are to fat lol:D i know a good mobile guy depending how far south cheers clemo

hi kev sorry out of luck with that one make sure u leave a report when u get home so i no where to fish lol have a good one

What area do I live in

Hi Kev I've fished at port on my hols I fished near the car ferry closest to the hi way against the bank near the caravan park picked up some nice flattys using live Taylor that I caught at the warf of the caravan park it's worth a try good luck have a nice weekend

Hi Thanks for the tip Up at Windsor the water is fresh will they live if I use them at the other end of the river where it is salt? What's the best way to keep them alive?

Hi mate Yeh I agree ventilation is more common especially in alloy boats because of large keels,chines ect causing air bubbles not like fiberglass where the bottom of the boat is more smooth U could go up a prop size or have cup put in ur prop it would help and bring ur rpm down a bit saving a bit of fuel and engine wear but it wouldn't pull a ski/ tube out of the water as well. A permatrim will help get on the plain but I don't think it will fix ur ventilation I had cup put in my prop it stopped the ventilation and lowered my rpm by 350 rpm it just allows the prop to hold the water better. It's well worth checking those transom mounted things u will be surprised how something small can effect the problem

Hi mate This is not the case with all alloy boats but in some the keel can be large and come all the way to the back causing air bubbles when u turn Witch causes ventilation around the prop this could also be caused on some boats by a transom mounted speedo pitot or transducer or even a bait tank pick up Any of these things mounted close the keel on the transom could cause ventilation/cavitation U could try a larger prop or have a prop specialist put a little bit of cup in the end of prop blades this will help the prop hold on better depending on ur engine rpm at full throttle it should be between 5000&5500 rpm putting a bigger prop on could make it less than that causing to much load on the engine Hope this can be some help Clemo
