Ok thank's for the help guys,after talking to 2 other mechs it seems a bit of grease on the threads is the go. Cheers.

Hi guys I'm re-installing the water pump housing on my 03' f50 yamaha. the maintanace manual says to apply loctite572 on the 4 bolts but my local mechanic (who I don't have the utmost confidence in) said just smear them with a dab of marine grease. Which way should I go? Thanks.

Hi Raiders,does anyone know if there are any preferred/reliable areas in the upper Cowan ( between cottage point & apple tree bay) to fish for yellowtail? or can they be found anywhere there with a bit or burley? Any advice appreciated

And you guys do it in a boat that only has bench seats and no canopy! That's dedication for you,Kudos on your successes so far gentlemen..that big one's just around the corner I'm sure. Hey Nathan I can vouch that's not the first time Ray's burley bombs have brought the fish on the bite.... the bloke must put tuna oil on his wheaties or somethin'.

Hey well done guys! Great to see your efforts are starting to pay off

Hey thanks guys Thanks for the kind words Byron...hopefully we'll hook up soon cheers

Could be worse... *Not a toothy but certainly one you wouldn't want to kiss

It's also good for killing wasps/hornets in their nests, but make sure you use a newish can with plenty of propellant & not some old rusty thing you found in the back of the shed you didn't bother to test beforehand. 40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch. Damn...wished I'd known that.

I'd say the poor wobbegong was minding it's business when the hungry seal attacked it. Some great shots there peterS.

I remember as a kid seeing it on the ABC,only managed to see one episode "from the river to the sea" but was enough to get me hooked. Wouldn't mind seeing it again though, will have to keep an eye out for the dvds. "Im looking for Aussie stuff in particular." Don't think there was much going before early 80s', wasn't much of a market before VCRs became popular.

That's a huge effort for a great result Pete! I know Marcel would have been over the moon with that one! Well done guys and all the best for next weekend.

I tried it using "google earth"...the detail isn't as good but you can make them out if you squint your eyes. [so where's waldo Kevin Rudd?]

Hi Roberta ,read your post too late to catch it but I saw him on Letterman a few weeks ago...was a hoot!

Hi guys I have a 1978/70hp evinrude fitted with internal tilt/trim system that's stuck in the down position. All I'm getting when i press the "up" switch is a loud clicking at the soleniod. I can't access the tilt motor or connections unless it's raised so is there anyway to raise it manually? If i loosen the fluid plug will that work? Is there a manual release anywhere? EDIT: ok, turns out there is...Manual release/bleeder screw on the right hand side. Thanks for the pm Pel!

Hi Raiders, came across this video recently, thought it was worth sharing video

love it!! Look's like the recession is hurting the coast guard.

Hi pete, the pickup I'm referring to comes with a mounting plate that sits flush against the transform and is attached with self tappers. If you decide to go this way make sure you use the appropriate drill bit size for the screws so they fit nice and snug and don't leak. Also, coat the screws and back of the plate with a coating compound [duralac or similar] to help keep metals separated, I used silastic marine which is a lot cheaper and did the job. EDIT:just saw dogtooth's post...that pickup would do the same job at a fraction of the price! I'd go with that. [i really should refresh before replying]

Hi pete..I wouldn't trust a glue for that job,there will be a lot of pressure put on that tube once your underway and sooner or later it'll give.I recon the best option is to mount a bait tank pic up with 1/2 inch through tube and attach suitable size hose to that...cut the pipe couple of inches below the lowest anchor point and join other end of hose there. That's a clever setup you've made pete but because that copper pipe isn't anchored down low it may bend under pressure or perhaps cause a rocking effect on the container,combine that with the level you've set the overflow and your livebait could be in for a rough ride. But i'm being way too pessimistic [comes from prev failed attempts] ...they're just maybes' and there's no doubt that if there's any probs with your new setup you'll soon be on top of it. edit:..just read Pels reply,that's some good advice..i'd go with that!

That's the ugliest thing I've seen in a while [and I live at doonside!]...looks like a giant tadpole!

That's at least twice now that paper has printed info sourced from this site...they should start paying commission!!...or at least [as you said] mention fishraider.

Well done KF That's an fantastic job you guys are doing down there!! Enjoy your well earned rest. Hey burleyguts, you should submit that to some of the melbourne news sites..I wouldn't be suprised if one of them ran it. Very good indeed, expresses exactly what a lot of people are feeling right now.

Poor bugger forgot to add a nose ring!....not sure what it's suppose to be but looks like he changed his mind half way through...recon it'll pack a sting though! I remember in an old fishing book some guy had photo's of homemade lures made from old teaspoons...said they worked pretty well.

How bout this?

All the best with your new career mrsiwannajewie Good choice too,no matter how the economy fairs in the future there will always be work for you. Should be plenty of opportunity to improve your skills/qualifications as well, My sister started out with similar [or same] job as yours a few years ago and now does home nursing. Loves her job!!

I can imagine!! Another great report mate...and a great way to spend a monday.
