  1. I think you are correct as I it took me ages to get it stated as it flooded etc and I had disconnected fuel lines etc. Hopefully that's all it is as it does look like gear oil. It's seems thin and darker in colour
  2. Hi, I have trolled through many websites but I still can't identify what year model my motor is. I found the serial number a672714. Could anybody steer me in correct direction?
  3. Hi, I have just purchased an older boat with a old 50hp 2 cyl Johnson 2 stroke. I noticed that when I trim up motor oil leaks between the where the leg bolts to the engine housing. Do I have big problem here? Any advice?
  4. Is there anyone that is associated with this site that is a fabricator that I maybe able to get to look and get some advise from?
  5. I will post some pics tomorrow. Thanks
  6. I can take some of the transome. It has no well at all.
  7. Hi, I just bought older 4.8 m alloy boat and was hoping someone could advise if I should have a motor well fabricated to the boat or leave it as is. I am concerned if I used it on occasion outside it may take some water from the rear rather then run out if it had a well. Any advice or recommendations will be appreciated
  8. Plenty on the eastern side of the Gladesville bridge around the southern moorings.
  9. Nice fish well done. What bait done the trick?
  10. No didn't eat it. Wasn't too sure what it was plus being from the harbour put me off
  11. Thanks guys so it's not one of these Asian paddle crab?
  12. Got out early this morning trying to catch squid, managed 3 in an hour so decided to head to fishing spot. All 3 squid were taken by bream and a red. Not what I was targeting but not complaining. Ended up with a few more bream largest going 39cm and largest red going 41cm. I caught 2 of these crabs. Never seen one before and have been fishing here of or over 30 years . Can anyone identify these and if it was eatable? They look like a cross between a mud and blue swimmer.

    smashed !

    I got hammered by these pests in 2 meters of water just off the golf course at palm beach on Saturday. I have not seen them there before in over 20 years of fishing.
  14. Yes they are an awesome specimen. I had little luck last winter catching them and got this one by accident.
  15. Hairtail officially 1.93 . 3 Jews from 68-74cm
  16. I don't have anything that long to measure it but I am 1.84 and longer than me. It's got a very long thin tail that is folded on floor which is not evident in photo. I will measure when home.
  17. Came out for a quick fish this evening as my wife had a hair dressers appointment. Took my 3yo and 7yo boys in hope of a Jew around the tide change. My 7yo hooked up to this beauty. Have not measured but looks 2m plus. Very supprised and happy now waiting on the Jews.
  18. I have never seen they caught. How do they catch them?
  19. I use Stradics in 1000,4000 and 5000. I love them and they are great value for money. I give mine very little love and use them once or twice a week. I have never had them apart for a clean or service since i have owned them and some are over 5 years old.
  20. Thank you! We pumped the biggest nippers I have ever seen. Enough for the afternoon fishing were pumped in half an hour! To top off the day my young blokes caught 3 whiting that we're just on a kilo each and a large flounder at the same place as pumping the nippers. Thanks again
