I’m very much a novice when it comes to electrics. My battery is draining all the time. Firstly can you use volt meter to see if power is being drained when turned off and if so how secondly if a Fluro light is broken and still turned on will it continue to consume power i have a cut off switch but still draining power. Ideas and tips appreciated thanks shakey55 This is the multi meter that I have

Have always thought about fishing off that rock wall. It runs through pretty quick I’ll take the big rod next time. Thanks James

GME. Had a few over the years and only ever had a problem with one. Others sold off with boats.

Their 4 strokes are 3.5hp, 6hp, 9.8hp and 15hp only. https://www.evinrude.com.au/Engines

Still not working on iPhone 8

Just tried in my iPhone 8 and not working. This is all I gir

With ‘The Count’ written on your boat you are inviting hoodlums to deface / damage your boat IMO I May be wrong

I am renewing bungs in my Seafarer V-Sea. When I took the originals out I found that the two centre bungs (these drain the water from above deck) had an extension on them. I’m assuming this has something to do with the thickness of the transom. It appears to be tube jammed onto bung house after being heated - not really sure My question is - Do I need to replace these bungs so they are the same, with an extension.

Thanks Rick. I thought as much but I thought I’d check.

Does the old sealant need to be removed completely. I understand that I will need to remove sealant completely from the outside of the fibreglass hull, but in the actual bung hole there is the original sealant. Do I need to remove all old sealant back to timber and start from scratch, or can I sand a little and cover with new sealant. i intend using sikaflex 291

I understand where you are coming from but not the safest tip I’ve read for a while. Perhaps there is a safer way that someone will come up with. Cheers

I’ve had no problems with my Garmin 75dv. I made sure it was updated before April. My appears to have handled the changeover without a hiccup cheers

Croydon i’ve been home a couple of weeks. I tried a few of the marks for no result. Southerly swells and wind didn’t make for good fishing. Plenty of flathead to be caught between Nth and Sth Durras. Thanks for the marks and I’ll be giving some of the others a try next time I’m down there. I did notice some locals on a couple of days head out from Sth Durras boat ramp and head straight out between the island and kept going until out of sight. Not sure if one of the marks is out there but speaking with another local there is a great reddie spot out there. I’ll do some exploring next time. Once again thanks.

Travelling. Not sure how long your staying there but out the front beach in front of cabins right down in the southern corner there is a gutter that runs sort of towards the top island. Late afternoon dusk into early evening the best time. We have over the years caught some good reddies off Wasp Head. I just had two weeks down there with my boat. Worst fishing I have had there for many years. A least there are still tons of flathead in bay area to feed the gang.

Thanks buddy

Thanks very much Dave. I knew I could count on a Raider. I have a 2000 model Seafarer V-Sea (5 metre) and launching from Sth Durras as long as the ramp is okay. Ive heard there is always a feed if flathead in the bay. I hopefully will be heading to sea looking for some good reefs. Is it worth trolling anywhere? cheers and thank you

Good morning Raiders. I’m heading down to Sth Durras (Batemans Bay) soon with the boat for 2 weeks. Does anyone have any GPS marks they would like to share, just to make things a little easier. Mate there and FAD’s or Wave Buiys in the area and if so do you have their GPS markings. Many local tips on fishing areas and species I might find would be appreciated Thanks

How far are backing trailer into water

Great report Jeff. Should really help MOEYT with his purchase choices.

Thanks for the update. As it’s been a while maybe some could be ordered as an order with payment up front. Just a suggestion. cheers

Done

Any t-shirts left (XML)

Yep it’s the tilt/trip lever that is connected to to tilt/trim gauge on dash to show the motor position

From memory around $1600. I think

I’m pretty easily pleased and love my current 5m Seafarer V-Sea, butif money and storage was not a problem, I would love a Seafarer Voyger. There would also be a number of other boats on the wish list. Be hard to make up your mind
