    Cow Eying Anglers

    haarrrrr , i remember it like it was yesterday. . .

    15 hours wide of the kiama canyons dragging lures for zeros

    except for a stripey on 24kg.

    bottom bashed for a feed, just cleaned everything down

    on dusk to ready to go tomorow condition when 2.3 NM from harbour. .

    snap , the starboard outrigger popped and dropped. 2- 3 seconds later

    the short when nuts. . . .

    Whilst i was getting strapped into the standup gear the drag slowly increased

    the comments like f this f'ng business from the captain, and the decky looking at the captain

    saying i've got a job to go to, referring to his kitchenhand job, the captain replying with

    you had better f'ng call in sick pretty soon then, there's no leader or double on that one.

    looks were passed like in the above photos between the two as the last light finished

    the deck lights were turned on a creedence c r tape was put in, just as the fish finished his first run.

    yep . . you can get it from the captain,. . you can get it from the crew

    you can get it workin a tiagra 50w,. . you can get it milking a cow

    matter of fact i've got it now

    How To Check Fuel For Water?!?!

    in Boating

    Posted

    I had the same problem when I left the boat on the river

    for a couple of weeks with a lot of rain

    Same symtoms and will quickly get harder to start very quickly

    Pull the spark plugs out ,

    Use a torch and look inside the block,

    look for milky oily deposits will indicate water in the fuel,

    the tank may need to drained and cleaned to remove excess water

    don't know how to clean the block I paid someone to fix it from here

    cost a coupla hundred bucks including new fuel etc

    By the way it was a stacer 5.2 bowrider

    Berly Trails

    Good post,

    I think most people that cut a burley trail are just oblivious to what is going on,

    in my experience in these situations people are busy trying to get the best position

    for themselves and stumble around the stern of the burleying boats unaware of which way

    the current is running.

    They are easy to identify if you shake your fist at them and gesture to them to go around,

    they always wave back and continue straight into the trail.

    Sort of like boat ramp ettiquette if people don't read it or are told, hopefully

    by someone with patience or a friend, they just carry on unaware.

    Rusty Nuts

    in The Workshop

    Posted

    As I put my hand through the side wall of my sun brittled livey tank

    I was thinking I must re-do my winch cable at some stage.

    All of a sudden I found myself with 2 hours free time so I cut back the rust

    and primed the trailer and then ripped off the top of the motor

    to give it a clean up and discovered . . rusty nuts. I got stuck into my nuts

    with a wire brush and was wondering is the best approach to clean and paint (is there a specific paint used on marine engines for heat and corrosion prevention - can you jimmy a tin of bathroom enamel) or will clean , kill rust and grease prevent further dammage, I prefer not to remove

    bolts going into the block, will the thread not exposed to air be RS. ?

    They will last until I have time to replace in the summer

    There is also some patches of corrosion which clean up easy, is there a product used

    on the alloy before painting or any household product that will do the job?

    The nearest marine shop or mechanic is miles away

    and I don't have time to piss about at the moment

    Don't know if this makes sense.

    Thank you

    Nice work,

    Diplomacy is a great thing unless they walk a way still thinking they are right

    at least next time he will think about his actions, I hope you gave him both barrels JH.

    There is always bait at kirra straight out from KFC look for the dark patch, I always shoot out of currumbin bar

    so it,s on the way to fidos and the nines. Only a couple minutes if baits scarce.

    I think they are a sydney based company

    so it shouldn't be too hard to communicate with them

    I was looking at similar ones a couple of days ago

    I reckon they would be a very handy tool to have

    in your kit
