    Hi mate great pic. I was down there on Saturday just sat on the boat and drowned a few prawns and polished some of the timber work in the cabin. Anything to be on the water Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

    There is King Starboard as well it comes in different thicknesses and is very easy to use I used it as a bowsprit for the front of my boat. It is strong and will never rot (basically polyester )

    this is what I was thinking,but I would put a small platform on top with checker plate or something non slippery cheers D

    I just put a set of LASSA tyres on my SUV and very happy with the performance, have had them on the other car now for about two years and have been very happy

    In the early models it was the reed valves that was the main difference Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

    That is just one bank of batteries. I have two banks which means 6 batteries all up Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

    Over Christmas I went to start my boat and found the batteries were flat so after charging them it still wouldn't start so I checked voltage 12.5 them checked the cranking amps 127 should be 580 ish so 3 new batteries later each with 777 cranking amps So point to my story is new toy in the tool box battery tester.it also checks starting system and charging systems Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

    Problems can be fixed. Things that can go wrong! Bolts and nuts can be seized and brake off. Head may have a crack so pressure testing is a must. And a hole lot more little things. You may be able to get a reco power head. Things can go easy as well so have a good plan b4 you start. Good luck with it any way Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

    Hi yes the same for me. Hydration and a good stretch as the day goes on and even better stretch after finishing the boat the muscles feal much better next day. They also say the more you do that exercise the less your body aches. So my advice is to go do it more Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

    don't forget to check you winch and safety chain from post to bow. as I had my winch cable brake one night driving back from Qld. Only for the safety chain I would have lost the boat off the trailer, I also up graded my tie downs after that. Cheers David PS by the way enjoy your travels

    the most important thing with boats is what ever you use is that it is NOT abrasive as it will take off any polish that protects the gel coat from the sun salt and road grime. Any polish (wax) should be also not abrasive as it will take the finish off the gel coat. hope this helps as the more you scrub it the quicker the gel coat wears away

    maybe check oil level first. As the only time my outboard went down was when the oil level dropped. the main use for this boat was for water skiing so the trim motor had the brushes replaced each year. yes I left it on the travel brackets all the time, with no problems at all

    Hi Geoff sorry to say if it was my boat I'd spend the money and get it fixed by a professional as the pic shows stress fractures coming away from the screw holes thus would weaken the area. Plus may cause water ingress in ruff weather. hope this helps David PS maybe check insurance as maybe covered by your policy

    my back yard will do as long as the fuel tank is left full and keys in the ignition then you will have to wash and clean it when I bring it back from all the fishing trips hehehe PS don't Know much about your area.
