club marine told me they dont cover any items in a boat that's left in the open with just a cover on, this also includes behind a locked gate read your policies your only covered for whats in the contract that "you" sign

i cant give you a exact weight but you can work it out yamaha 60hp 106kg trailer 240kg a new quintrex 470 coastrunner is 470kg 60l of fuel 52kg anchor chain rope 30kg so a base of 900kg and by the time it has everything else added, spare tyre saftey gear radios second batteries and so on probably another 1-200kg the mazda from memory can tow around 1600kg braked depending on year model and engine type but beware most of them come with those cheap 750kg towbars

yarraone how did the tank go ? i got to give my new tank a run last sunday could only catch 8 or so pike though lol i need to cut the pickup down as just too much water was coming in, and if i closed the tap the pump couldnt work properly anoying to have to open it every time we stopped

ask the guy on that site how to do it ? doesnt seem that cheap when you have to buy a manual as well off there or buy it off huey and ask him, the mans not a chairty

nice work i run a 360gph pump and you need a 50mm outlet to keep up, a 50mm outlet wont keep up with my stainless scoop at 50kph so just use a inline tap

dont second guess call bp or shell direct they will answer your questions new fuel does not blend 100% with old fuel, you cannot replace the volitile compounds which evaporate in a vented system i still wouldnt put it in a car, even more so if premixed and a outboard is just a flash lawnmower gaz

I went out on the weekend with 3 month old unmixed fuel the life of old premix is considerably less then fuel with no oil in it i just didnt run at wot no issues it ran fine

another vote for yammalube smells ok and little smoke i have 5 4l bottles of gw sitting on the shelf that wont get used it smokes a fairbit and i cant handle the smell of it and get ill when trolling for a few hours

my local mechanic will take it in his oil dump, but then i do get my wifes car serviced there i dont get why people will ut old fuel in their expensive cars but not run it through their old carbed outboards false economy as long as it burns no issue, just dont ring its neck and risk the issues of pinging due to low octane of old fuel

if your near st clair you can have a look at my unit with th emap installed for comparison these are cheap units and they have made it that way by not inc maps, the vague australia map can 50-100km out

the map is just a token map and is off by up to 100km i have the same unit as a backup gps, you have to add a navionics map to get a acurate shore coast line the cheapest is the silver map for $130 which i have, it shows depths round the edges but no contour or depth lines elsewhere

have a google around or a search on other sites. i know people have just used 10mm thick ally plates which can be bought cheap from aluminium supply companys again talk to someone in th eknow reguarding what thickness to use but people are hanging 150hp plus off just a plate of ally, as long as two holes are going through the transom as a guide a i got a 600mm x 600mm piece of 20mm thick ally for $50 from my local guy

i have a scotty 1050 and its ok but save your pennies and get one with a longer boom as it just makes life so much easier, and turning is easier as well i plan to get rid of the scotty and get one of the aussie mades you can find online

i didnt go this year, mainly because i wasnt in the market for the boat and two so many tackle shops are having sales and big sales to boot the cost to get the family to the boat show parking some food bought me a tld25 and rod 5 yamashita jigs and pizza tonite for the kids

i have a furuno 620 and its a awesome bit of kit but you have to play with them just like any sounder to get it to work well, 1200 odd with transducer water temp fresh in the bay you have to adjust them every time you go out last trip out i had baby snapper showing on the bottom and salmon above them and bigger kings cruising in and out of the mayhem dedicated sounder and gps units always combined units are a compromise on screen space and not worth the hassle

Get a thorough inspection done a mate had diesels replaced in his 38 footer the bill was around 60k One engine ingested water and died so he replaced both

the quotes i got recently from a few yards made aluminium 1500-2k dearer dunbier gal $3800 mackay alumnium %5662 pretty similar trailers in weights held etc there is a chinese alloy trailer being sold in sydney, for the same if not alittle less then a aussie built gal trailer some aussie trailers are having issues with bolts holding crossmembers on vibrating loose and moving and elongating the bolt holes leading to cracks the issue is holes drilled to close to the beam edge the chinese trailers i saw had bolt holes even closer to the edge so i wont consider them

thanks guys ill go talk to sales, cheapest claimed aussie trailer i could find so far is barracuda up in qld, im u there every few months so no ta issue to tow one back ill see what sales have to say

Generally with seats it's cheaper to buy new then recover I had two ski buckets and bought new for $100 less each then getting them repaired The other stuff cushions headline bed foam etc you have no choice but to use a reupholsterer they will prob charger more as well unless they can get their truck right next to the wharf it's moored too Between $50-$80 a hour plus materials As a guide my Neighbour just had his ski boat redone Two bucket seats and one ench seat and mates rates price was $1200 full price was $1600 Did they pull the boat out of the water and anti foul the hull and inspect the legs ?

pandering to the charters who launch there they are just going to push it to the right hence lossing a pontoon not adding people don't use the furthest right as they couldnt back their trailers down it, i loved it as it was always free its three wide atm and one on the right against the wall, but considering the quality of peoples reversing you generally only see two launched at once down the middle

the old rules apply to trailers registered pre 1981 but this is irrelevant if your boat and trailer exceed 750kg and your pulled over even with a 981 model trailer you will be booked rta nsw 1 rta nsw towing trailers rta nsw are a pack of fools as they now have a term "loaded weight" and dont seem to use atm gvm anymore this is what i believe to be correct ATM is the weight of the trailer and its load Aggregate towing mass GTM is the weight on the wheels ( excludes Ball weight) Gross towing mass Ball weight is usually obtained by subtracting the GTM from the ATM. 0 – 750 kg loaded weight – no brakes required. 751 – 2000 kg loaded weight – braking on both wheels on at least one axle. 2001– 4500 kg loaded weight – braking on all wheels i tried calling them and they couldn't explain it to me what is loaded weight so i err on the side of caution, if the whole rig is over 750kg sitting there on the trailer it needs brakes

My current trailer neds replacing, too much rust in the cross members and it needs brakes which it doesnt have i put it across a weigh bridge yesterday and it weighs all up 995kg with fuel i will probably end up getting a dunbier for $3800 but was seeing if anyone has any experience with the other aussie brands out there i do not want a chinese imported trailer your views or experiences will be appreciated

sorry to hear of your loss. can i ask were the wheel clamps left behind ? if so can you post a pic of them to show us hwo they might have got them off?

Definatly jackets nasty little bastards Just pack up and move

Anglapro are also a very well made boat Telwater are far from the best in terms of weld and paint quality But they sure can take over company's and churn out volume
