good luck for the trip neil...the burrinjuck reports ive read are saying goldens are starting to fire up.with some good size fish on lures and bait..the redfin seem to be in small isolated schools..prob spawning behavior at this time of year...I didn't realize there were so many filthy s#@t bag carp in there...hope you killed them all and didn't break the law..rick

ok for starters its what ive been saying 2st is the better your clip is comparing 2 against 4 try the same with 200 2st yammie..all this still boils down to the fact that if I had a hull 6.35 I would not fit a 150 to it...you luv the etecs I luv yammies but would you put a motor recommended for a 1000/1250kg hull on a hull that weighs closer to 2000kg...as I said no one is replying that has 150 on heavy hull...rick

one thing hasn't changed from motors made 15 yrs ago to current models..they develop their stated horsepower at a certain rev ..so a 15 yr old 200hp with 19 pitch prop at 5500 rpm will be doing the same speed as a new 200hp with 19p at 5500...their peak torque will be at different stages of rev range but they are still 200hp..weight and fuel consumption are the differences in the motors that are loosely classified as better performance...I have 2 mates with 17r haines set up for diving..they have 150 2st on one 150 4st on the other..same prop sizes..the 2st is 8knots quicker which is better in their pursuit of speed from spot to spot in a limited hrs comp..the 4st uses less fuel but is doughy compared to the 2 st....imo if zoran dropped back to a 150 2st or 4st he will be disappointed in its performance..his haines is a heavy hull with very deep vee hul and needs power to get the best out of its design...zoran you aren't getting replies from people with 6mtr plus hulls with 150hp on them as most people wouldn't put that smaller donk on one...rick

the main consideration will be whatever pitch prop your now running you will more than likely have to go down 1 or 2 pitches as you wont have enough grunt to drive it...I would guess with your top speed now you have a 19 or higher pitch to gain that speed..no matter what motor you go with if you have to go back to a 17 or 15 you will be a long way down from that top end which means higher revs more fuel less range and not having the punch to use in a bad sea...my opinion only..but ive just gone up in size from 60 to 90 and have more speed more grunt use less revs and using same or slightly less on my normal trips to broughton but im getting there and home quicker..i got stuckin last trip coming home and punched home at 30knots..i only used 5 ltrs more than I used with the 60...if weight is your main consideration do you really need 55 kgs of auxilury if you buy new motor...that negates weight differences..the new motors are more reliable and rarely breakdown..have you ever needed to use your aux..rick

in reality if you drop 25% in power you will lose more than 25% performance..therefore working the smaller motor harder to do the same speeds you do now you will be using more revs therefore more fuel..rick

ps hardly anyone uses 27meg anymore vhf has taken over further north 27meg isn't monitored by coastal patrol anymore.....I havnt used 27mg in four years as we were warned then it was being phased out..rick

plus one on mono..blackfish fight with a serious bang bang side to side motion braid has no stretch and you end up pulling hooks to often..rick

take the boat off the old then sit next to new..use a level and a tape to measure heights first off your transom rollers then to your centres then put boat on central and adjust sides up to height then bow roller and winch height to suit the boat sitting properly on rollers..if you start with bow you may have it too low or high then rest wont sit right..rick
-
apparently the 300 has both 27meg and cb band make sure you are choosing the right channels for 27 if you have that aerial...rick

mate you have heaps of room left on the floor...rick

if weathers good crowdy head is easy to fish with good ramp and shallow shoals 4 miles from harbor plenty of reds...Hawkesbury is better option with outside and heaps of nice bays in the southern side opp palm beach...rick

im with paddy 90% of pros and oyster guys up this way all have gunmetal grey motors..for a good reason..they last and don't have probs..rick

general consensus on peak feeding times are an hour either side of high or low tide..just on dark or first light in morn..if yu can combine the two together is great..ie.high tide right on dark is usually the best..don't fish rocks on open ocean if swell over 1 mtr unless experienced or with someone with knowledge..ps not all rock fishing spots are the same..i have spots I can fish safely in 2/2.5 mtrs swell that face north but others are wiped out by 1mtr..check willy weather or seabreeze for wind and swell graphs and bom syney radar will show you rain....im 55 and have spent countless hours with rain dripping of my nose and freezing my tits off but I still loved it cause good fishing doesn't nesecarily mean good weather just my thoughts tash hope it helps...rick

the spring in them is rated that's why they are called override brakes..when a certain amount of force is exerted on the coupling whilst braking the brakes start to engage....sometimes its easier to launch boat and pull brakes apart and clean without boat in the road..rick
