    :1welcomeani: Fishraider Pete glad to see a tackle shop on the way to Berowra waters. I've been in there a couple of times because my boat lives not far away, ie. mum and dads house. and seeing how ive woken up to go for a fish and its still pissing down with rain i might just have to go out there to have a look to see what i can buy this time.... I mean go and visit mum and dad :1prop: .

    What Is The Story Behind Your 'log In' Name?

    in The Bar

    Posted

    I've beenreading this post all day and a little bit of the morning aswell. To start with I was going to have the nick name Cheers, after my boat, but I thought about it for a while and thats how I end my phone calls and also my posts. In the end I decided to call myself T-Man. My surname is Turner so My mates used to call me T-Man, among other things. Any way its not a great story or even a good one :wacko: , but its still a story.

    Cheers

    Battery Size

    in Boating

    Posted

    hey guys just a quick note for those who may not know this..

    normal car/truck batteries arent really suitable for marine usage. this is because they are used for starting

    motors and also a deep cycle purpose. a automotive battery there fore is really not suited. marine batteries

    are designed as starting batteries and a deep cycle purpose, which means they are designed to have

    massive discharge and then be recharged. the conctruction of marine batteries are normally absorbed glass

    matt which makes the a hell of a lot stronger then any other automotive battery. a maitanence free battery

    is also a much better option then a normal battery. also marine batteries will have a prefix of M ie M70zz or

    for maitanance free MFM70zz.

    cheers

    Is It Possible

    in Boating

    the only real benifit of changing your rims is the fact that a 13" tyre will be about half the price of a 9/10"

    tyre. all in all is it really worth it when was the last time you actually had to replace the tyres on your

    trailer???

    yes it can be done and if you go to any trailer shop they will be able to give you all the advice you need.

    cheers

    Help Moving A Saltwater Fishtank

    in The Bar

    Posted

    g'day kingpin

    i had to move two tanks about six months ago. all i can say is transport the live rock in the tank water and take every last drop of wayter you passably can with you.

    if you havent had a salt water tank before it can be a lot of work setting every thing up but once it is set up they are so easy to look after its not funny

    good luck with it its worth it

    cheers

    if it is a tank breathing problem what is happening is that the tank needs possitive pressure in it. what it sounds like is that the tank is being sucked dry of all the air in it, which will affect the amount of fuel being drawn out of the tank.

    this is maybe on problem

    try running it with the filler cap slightly unscrewed this may help.

    hey Rob

    ive only just got into boating and fishing for that matter!!

    i remember my first time putting the trailer in by my self. lets just say s#%t hit the fan.

    to start with i nearly jack knifed the trailer then when i finally got the thing wet i was way way way too deep and the boat started going all over the place.

    so like most of the other guys have said take someone with a fair bit if experience with you the first couple of times and you will have no troubles at all.

    cheers
