You cannot do any of the above with the $190 system.

There are no extra cables, its a straight rewire from a standard 2 battery switch. The main thing is it allows you to run the second battery in parralell in case you have a flat first battery. It is just an extra precaution. You will not be able to do this with other systems. It is basically just set and forget unless you want to use the parralell for starting. You can also turn all batteries off if that floats your boat. Ask Huey is you don't understand it. I only suggested it as you wanted the most fullproof answer. http://www.bepmarine.com/Dual-Battery-Char...r-180-1464.html may explain it more for you. It has a wiring diagram as well. 3 switches 1 start battery on/off 2 house battery on/off 3 parralell 2 batteries on or off

Look at the one I gave you a description for. That is the entry level kit. http://www.bla.com.au/index.php?fn=product...692b25b365e0f8c

look at a BEP VSR with a house and starter battery switch and also a parrallel overide if you want to use both batteries for a start. Will never run your start battery down. $263 look on the BLA or BEP website. That is the best but there are other alternatives.

If you a gonna troll I would take a lever drag like a tyrnos or the new TLD 2 speed.

No that is no correct, you can specify 1600 or i think 2100 kg, tha was for my falcon anyway. They recommend load levelling kit over 1600. Over 2 tonne i think you need the assisted braking for the trailer.

I have caught a couple of flathead there, seen one jew and the chopper tailor run through there every now and again as well.

For the record I have caught 1 sqid there! Sometimes you need a lot of burley to get them up, you may have to wait 10 minutes or more as well but most of the time you should have some luck.

Salt away. I does not appear to be a gimmick but I have not used it myself. Chris

OK I do not have wing nuts. The tacho is still working, just to clarify it stopped working last time when I replaced the regulator. After that the tacho has still been working fine. I started the motor, read the volts at the battery terminals and am getting 11.8 roughly which is the same as the fishfinder. Thanks Chris

No worries, good checklist anyway

I have a 2003 Merc 115 2 stroke. I am not getting any more than 11.8 to 12.0 volts with revs running through the motor. I just had the voltage regulator replaced about 20hrs ago and it has worked fine up until now. Anyone got any idea's. Would it be re reg again? Thanks Chris

I got a 15 and I would definately put hydraulic on it. I haven't got it and it sucks. You will probably end up upgrading anyway! Chris

Penn 10x or Tortue. Penn 10x I use all the time and is very reliable.

I have 2 stradics and 1 tierra. I would take the tierra, much more modern reel.

My thought is go with the 4000, it will still handle decent rat kings and throw a good range of plastics. 6000 is a bit big for throwing plastics in my humble opinion. Chris

I doubt you will need that much drag on that rod but the twinpower is still a nice reel. Always depends on how much you want to spend. I have a certate and I chose that over a twinpower. Although the full Japanese twinpower PG and HG models look the goods. I am pretty sure they are different to what we get here.

I would look at a Daiwa Tierra. I have one of these for a Raider Snapper and its much better than a stradic. I have 2 of these also. Old technology these days, they are in need of a major update.

It will never happen. The only way they will be able to do it is levy the licenses that we already pay for. the compliance cost compared the money they will generate will be too expensive. Chris

Geez, I would still prefer it if the spent more time targeting people raping rat kings. I don't know if that is our money well spent. As you said probably better of NSW maritime doing safety checks on their budget not ours.

I have an oil cooler on my BA Auto. Also had the auto gearbox oil changed at 120 000 k and it was fine and the gear box is still pretty much perfect I would say, no shunt or funny noises, I have had to have the oil changed in the LSD diff twice so far though. Mostly its run great and my mechanic reckons the BA onwards are a great car. The AU's are pigs!

I've towed my 540f Melbourne to Sydney in a BA falcon ute and that is absolutely no problem. Use 3rd most of the time and it chews the juice but it gets there no problem at all. Get a bit of heat on the f3 but its never gone over half but they are some pretty big hills.

We are looking at going out to browns tomorrow. The swell looks like it will be under a metre all day hopefully. If the wind stays down it should be ok.
