yeah saw some on the bay 5mm thick which should be good with heat tolerances up to 160 c should be ok but the only thing is the motor cost me a packet and would want it to catch on fire or anything but it wouldnt get anywhere near 160c just wandering has anybody else had the same dilemma and how did it go like its not a must do but would be nice to lower the dbs

went down to bias they had stuff for engine boxes but said it really wouldnt suit an outboard cowling any other ideas i know you can get spray on stuff but people reckon its pretty messy and gets flaky and stuff cheers

awesome obey just wandering if there will be enough room in there and like there must of been a reason they didnt put it in there mmmm curiosity thanks mate

hey guys i got a 2008 model 40hp lightning xr and it has no sound proofing in the cowling and i dont think it ever has it only has 18hours on it and ive done 14 of them and by a visual doesnt look like anythings been removed or glue or anything like that after a while it gets quite loud just wandering what would be the right material for the job like temperature wise cheers guys

definately if your are melting both metals to become one thats a weld but they must melt what are you using an oxy?

definately not fester i was actually hoping you didnt think i was havin a shot at you cheers mate

heres a side console i made from stainless steel its got peices of alloy checkerplate on it but if you do something like that the 2 metals should never touch as they react i actually bent the sheetmetal with a sheet metal bender that i also made

hey snapper delete some pms in your inbox tried to send you some pics of my mods but its sayin you cant receive em?

yeah true thats evolution hey we also used to start fire with sticks but thats a whole other thread

yeah im a welder to i understand what your sayin squidin but in sayin that you may as well just use bog / silicone / or super glue witch will probably stick better than the flux not havin a go at ya mate i just got a real hate for those rods they just prey on people that are just after an easy fix thats all

i agree specially while on the plane

yeah maybe with flux but thats just the flux stickin to do a proper weld the metal HAS to be molten and filled with a filler as alloy melts at 1000+ couldnt do it properly with a blowtorch maybe with an oxy but alloy distorts very easily and end result wouldnt be to flash a migs the go

nah your right mike cant beleive its been goin on for so long

your right matt no good for anything no penetration at all

hi mate i just use a dc mig i have one for sale if your interested perfect for alloy and mild steel even throw in some aluminium wire and teflon liner for alloy in awesome condition

definately thats the first step i was lucky the mechanics i go are just up from the local tip and they got the weighbridge ticket for me not sure where your from mate but if you live close to blaxland go to action automotive top people in there mate and will get you sorted

actually even if the trailer doesnt have a vin number its really easy to get one well actually you do nothing the mechanics apply to the rta and get one but the only thing on your rego papers it will just say homemade ( if that bothers you) i didnt mind and the boat i went down to penrith marine no HIN no receit no nuffn and i had to sign a stat dec and just go to the post office and get a justice of the peace to sign it then all was done for me new hin new rego and and all done just took a day of running around and from memory onlycost a couple of hundred bucks really its not hard at all also got plenty of box trailers blue slipped with no vin numbers to just got to apply for new ones hope this helps

hi mate you need to take the trailer any where they do blue slips if its been out of rego for more than 3 months its real easy and wont take long at all the boat just take down to your local boat shop and theyll point you in the right direction from memory the maritime has a list on all of them in nsw cheers

i done it to my boat and she always gets pounded by chop and its holding up real well might take a bit of integrity away but ok for now

hey guys im looking to take my boat out swansea heads soon as this weather clears up just wandering is there a bar out there just so i comply with the lifejacket rule and to take a bit more care crossing any info would br much appreciated cheers

i caught 1 exactly the same i was just looking at the camera then coz i took a picture of it on my pirtek brag mat to these fish could pass as twins hahaha i just wish i would of caught it on the pirtek challenge day but i think i might have been splittn first prize with ya hahaha do u know if theres anywhere to see the winning pictures just curious thats all cheers

i put a mercury 2008 model 40hp lightning xr on the back of my 4m stacer seahorse shes rated to 35hp i really think the manufacturers needed to rethink that one lol she is puuurrrrfect

thats a massive whiting top stuff

mate if i was you id save the (probably) hundred bucks it would cost to install and put it towards a lowrance dsi and install it your self its only 6 screws and its real easy have a look at them on youtube
