  1. Hi  BN

    Don't  know about ali boats but I have a in hull transducer glued to the inside of the hull of my boat. Two ways to do this is in hull or thru hull.with mine I shoot thru the hull so just used plastersine to find the best spot then affixed it with sickerflex .Worked for me

  2. Can't help with specifics but I  have a moored boat and lucky that the area where my boat is is at a boat ramp and have left  my car parked there. The ramp has ppl living in cars and boats so it's safer to leave riggs there.

     

    Just an option 

    I'm on Brisbane water if that helps

  3. On the water is different  than on the trailer.

    6 bodies on a boat will make the boat sit lower put shouldn't cause any stress on the hull unless you hit something hard like beach rocks or even the water if you comè off a big swell.

    Also looks like one of the rollers is not working or miss aligned as the black mark  this may also have caused it.?

  4. Go to RMS and they will get the spot sorted . The boating safety officer will take you out to give you rje mud map of exzact spot he may also know someone who is selling the ground tackle, if not the local salvage and mooring ppl will sell you rhe ground tackle.

    Hope this helps 

     

  5. There are two types of moorings the one on the utube and the other and most common one is where the main mooring line isattached to a yellow or red float with a light line from float to main line which has a loop in the end. It is that main loop that goies onto your bow cleat with a small rope around the line to lock the loop into place. Not the small line. I see lots of ppl that just put a line thru the handle of the float. My boat lives on a mooring where birds eat away the small line to the float thus making it very weak which would have broken off if any weight was put onto it, so if it broke the main line will sink to the bottom and boat would float away.

    Hope that is helpful? 

     

  6. In my early days I lift my outboard for crusing and drop it for sking and had no trouble with toque steer . From memory it was each time I  changed props which we did quite regularly as well.

    Hope this helps 

  7. yep I was down there on Sunday Arvo and there was no trailer parking bays left, lucky I was just out for a walk.

    The same thing happens down at Woy Woy ramp as well:( you would like to park  the car and trailer behind them and go out for a few weeks on the boat ......... but then they would call the cops or burn your rigg

     

    They are all inconsiderate a.....les

  8. In my opinion I'd say no, as the added weight and the hassle of lifting it out to clean under it as to glue it down will leave air and water access that will be harder to clean. I had carpet in the cockpit of my last boat for 10 years of fishing skiing eating and drinking with no smell at all. Just a bucket of suds at the end of each ( well most ) outings:D

    Hope this helps

    Btw that boat is now 32 years old with the same carpet

  9. As for laws or not I always had a travel cover on it as now every Monday we travel on the M1 I always see life jackets landing nets esky lids etc etc that has blown out .

    Hope this helps

  10. sorry to here hope not to serious and your back on the water soon know how you feel. I broke my ankle out on a boat years ago I was off the water for 10 weeks had to work though :mad3:
