you should get something decent for 7k

yes time to check pump also pull thermo stat and put hose done the thermo hole under pressure even hot warm water even better it should come out telltalle now, if so pumps the problem also once pump and leg off put hose directly to copper inlet pipe under pressure just to make sure you dont have a blockage where water tube connects to the block cheers dunc333

go for a drive check it out first if still keen go down the ramp and speak to any locals going out .if there is none around then i would say dont go out stay in the river .for me personally south west bar is one i never feel safe on even in light conditions cheers dunc333

give a call to alan from blakes marine if anyone could help you he would be my 1st point of call for anything bar crusher

yes his content is great i have been a paid member for along time .also we need to get into all schools .here in the inner west everyday i see more and more teenagers going fishing around here getting away from there computers cheers dunc333

if the motor checks out and you can get it at a price that takes in the age of the motor and your looking at a repower in the next few years then maybe worth the gamble just my opinion cheers dunc333

sorry rivercon i didnt look at your profile .if it was me my 1st address would be getting in and out of boat at the ramp.maybe one of those hook ladders that hook over the gunnel and once finished you just lift them off and store .if you google boat gunnel ladders theres heaps of different soughts out there

if your boats not a drive on trailer set up buy a electric winch which alot of my mates have done to make retreive easier.what sought of set up[ do you have? then you will get better advice i would think cheers dunc333

so if it is just catch and release with the blue groper thats fine with me.please tell me does anyone eat blue groper.? .or can you be fined for catching one which wouldn't make sense cause you cant tell the groper the baits not for you cause your the state emblem .so its just catch and release for fishos right???? and no shoot or take for the spearos right???.which was always the rule but some idiot didnt know or he just didnt care ? cheers dunc333
