  1. Well done won’t be long and you’re going to have a new career teaching fishing for a living
  2. Bug juice ( E10 ) is 94 octane normal unleaded in 91 octane
  3. Data dot is good once the item has bee found ! You then need the infrared tools to read the information. Real-time tracking is the go you’ve got them wherever they go. But if someone wants something they will still get it you can only slow them down until the authorities can become involved.

    Blanked

    Exactly that’s fishing tomorrow will be a different story your very lucky to be able to fish daily so close to home but still requires dedication good on you. You will find the fish.
  5. The big ships will be 2 stroke diesel basically running on crude oil. It all about producing torque at the required rev range
  6. I know of an all Australian company which can manufacture aluminium or galvanised ,trailers and could possibly repair boat trailers depending on the structural integrity. Please PM me for details. If this is allowed in the site rules. Located Western Sydney.
  7. That’s when a tracker would be invaluable. Imagine pulling up with the Police when they think there safely parked.
  8. What sort of fishing are you using it for fresh salt shallow or deep have a look at Garmin very user friendly

  12. Good feed there hard to replace favourites but it will be fun looking $$$ them seals have the life have seen them on the rudder of cargo ship before don’t know how it got there as the ship was empty well out of the water

    It would make a great weekender
  15. Congratulations that’s one hell of a snapper hate to see Wiskers when he comes.
  16. Hi would love to come and meet up. Make up for the postponed annual trailer boat weekend.
  17. The whole setup looks wrong requires a new winch mount looks like a bar crusher setup thought they would have got it correct go back and show them . You would think the system supplied would work
  18. Run the same one absolutely brilliant can release at any angle Also made a custom lock should slow them down

    Marine rescue app

    Honestly like to communicate with a human voice and know your 100% logged on phone coverage only works to a limited distance. Have recently registered with the app. Have found positions can be hard to pinpoint with the app whereas with marine radio you can give a more exact position also keeps you more alert to your position if all goes bad. When this was ever to happen you still speak to a human providing you are trained correctly. Probably I’m old school.
  20. Depends on how much elbow grease your willing to use. If it’s not too oxidised just wash and cut back with an electric buff using a foam buffing pad with compound to suit the required finish then wax. Took me three days to do my boat but was very oxidised being a coloured hull. Got it wrapped now only the white on top now requires work. It’s a %%%%% of a job. But the result is worthwhile.
  21. A bad earth can cause major headaches different components are earthed independently which will make fault finding hard. Have had problems previously with a bad earth in control box causing intermittent spark.
  22. Worst of the problem being the stainless steel used in inferior Chinese tools is not 316 grade more chrome and nickel which makes it less resistant to corrosion still needs to be mirror polished and looked after. The smoother it is less spots for corrosion to build up.
  23. Check the wiring from coil to cdi unit for an open circuit with an ohms metre possibly a broken wire sounds like coil not being powered

    Outboard problems

    Playing with fire once the filter is clogged with debris nothing will help. Sounds like your lucky. That’s why there a replacement item.
