Juggs

my neighbour runs a 900hp ski race boat and they consider 3-4 weeks the cut off before they will run a motor on it, they had experienced engine failures running fuel 8 weeks old obviously a more highly strung engine with twin turbos

Wrong guys The ten knot thing refers to licences you can drive a boat unlicensed as long as you don't plane or go over a certain speed which upto 10 knots Registration is based on any boat with more then 4kw / 5 hp now does this mean a five has to be registered I'm pretty sure as a mate has his five hp ten footer registered It's all on the web at maritime website

Having your boat slammed into your winch post or car Boats damaged on trailers by swell Or running your pride n joy up into sand I wouldn't use it , I stop for lunch very now and then and watch it in use while at work Amusing to say the least

ill be able to light up the whole bay now these new led lights are bright who really cares about night vision when you can turn night into day lol

with a front screen and bimini i had to chuck up there to be close to legal, i use to have one of those rear corner mounted lights on a pole just reread the rule book and you guys are correct

I dont use the stuff but pretty sure it has to be added early on Not after the fuel has deteriorated I also fill the tank after every trip means less air movement as the tank heats and cools during the day this cuts down on condensation entering the tank through the breathers I only have a 70l underfloor tank so if I havnt used it within a month to six weeks I drain it and put in the wife's car with a transfer pump Then I refil the boat I may be wrong but 4 weeks is about it for raw fuel before it starts deteriorating

Go to lowrances website You can download a emulator for your pc Have a play and learn what each function does

something to remember, even if they have no lights on and you hit them some blame may be apointed to you in a accident speak to a lawyer before you give waterways a written statement on any accident you personally are in i just fitted a rocket launcher to get my nav light higher but technically this isnt legal either as it has to be 1m higher then any part of the boat

both of the major boat accessories dealers do them same as any tackle shop that has a account with bla

hi mate sent you the photos via pm the ledlights are amazing its like daylight with it on

The yanks do it over winter ie it's called winterization Generally it's just a fogging spray they coats the internals to prevent rust And getting all water out of the cooling system to prevent ice If your using it every month or so don't do anything it's pointless Start it now and then Move the steering to stop it seizing And manage the fuel with a stabilser

yes huey crazy as it sounds its not uncommon for the wave to skip long distances, people have picked up from very random locations you cant always transmit back though 27mhz have a bit of a issue with etecs seems similar frequencies are emitted by the engines so a vhf is needed when running a etec with the dash space in new boats id just fit both

27mhz works fine in areas where its still supported, which is all vmr stations still i can reach bar point from 30kays out and i get use 27mhz from browns, you just get more idiots on 27mhz as they havnt upgraded to vhf yet (well as many idiots) last year we were talking to people in south Australia in botany bay,was a unusualy conversation till we worked out what was going on and regualry get people from wollongong etc

Im sure a lot of you have spent a few evenings chasing the fish that does not exist called the hairtail But id say many have not braved the winter chill of July to chase this elusive fish If people could post their tips for keeping warm and comfortable im sure it will be invaluable information for the coming social heres my view on the topic its all about layers of clothing that you can take on and off as needed to stop getting cold and also to stop overheating i wear a pair of thermals woolen socks tracksuit pants light spray type rain pants a old pair of gumboots that are way too big a collard t shirt flannelette shirt stormy sea lined jacket and a beanie and gloves to top it off i advise anyone against wearing waders or bib n brace with the boots sealed to the bottom if you go in your going down and they are impossble to get off due to water pressure, hence the over sized boots many people drown each year in waders and bib n brace type garments the main culprit is the fog or mist that rolls in about 1 am and really sends the temps plummeting, ive seen -1 in cowan before and had ice on the seat beside me so in a smaller boat if you rig a tarp up to keep the dew off it can make a world of difference to how you enjoy the night my boat is getting fitted up this weekend with a rocket launcher and new led lights ill post a picture when its done

The sounding device has to be within reach of the helm Having it in a box is worthy of a fine from waterways I have a loud whistle tied to rope and looped over my compass and a airhorn on the dash

Offshore can be either You need a licence to use But it is not illegal to posses one without a licence And in times of distress it is not illegal to operate to call for assistance

Sorry Craig I got the buster rampage round the wrong way But still cheap boating with a lot of features

Huey does these as well They do a model called a buster with side decks and a bit more bling It's basically a hotted up seahorse With a 30 you will have change for a sounder etc Just don't put a no name outboard on it

the 4.95 tinny in my bio weights 1200kg on the weigh bridge ready to go fishing hull 400kg engine 120kg anchor rope chain 20kg fuel 68l so 55kg trailer 240kg 2 batteries 60kg so 900kg there then you have to add the weight of everything else, spare tyres gps sounder antenas biminis snapper racks bait boards so a 5m glass boat will weigh 1500kg easily

telwater bought alycraft and shelved the brand anglapro make a very nice boat but with your 15k budget it wil be tiller steer for allround size and fitout the 424 chaser with a 30hp suxuki is a awesome boat, about 13k on a decent dunbier trailer (not a piece of chinese crap) add a electric motor and your set for everythng from bass and trout to bay and inshore fishing painted full flat floors big and wide and deep and stable

Generally it's on items that have lead but as California is the largest economy of all the USA states any product they deem to have any minute link to cancer it will be labeled Otherwise it's not allowed to be sold there Most lures I buy or any of my archery gear has this label

New second hand ? Which engine Which trailer What extras Good little river and bay boat for two anglers

i havnt look at their website for a while but nothing quintrex makes could be considered a plate boat although some consider a flat sided tinny full of bog plate boat to me plate boats are boats made from sheets of aluminium and welded with no stretch forming like quintrex/stacer do id go a tabs territory over a quintrex top ender, just because ive seen the build quality of many mass produced boats

What improvement are you looking for ? Top speed Time to planing Turning? Do be good at one thing means it will be not as good as the other two A 30 on 3.9 tinny should be ample for good acceleration and speed

Proven by who ? do you have links ? cleaner? as in cleaner burning ? they add additives of a higher volatility to get 98 if you leave your boat sitting for 2 weeks between uses your just back to reg 95 the reason i ask as imo its just a waste of money where reg 95 does a ok job ( i cant talk about new engines like etecs etc maybe huey can offer some advice) your engine will only perform on the fuel its been built for and extra octane does nothing for a engine not designed for it the main benefit people see in cars is from using it in poorly serviced engines where all the additives come into play i ran bp ultimate in my kart engines which we ran to 17k rpm sometimes 20k rpm and had issues with the detergents they use causing the castor to not stick to the cyclinder wall we ended up running 15:1 instead of 16:1to counter it other 98 mixes didnt have this issue and in the end it was only a little extra oil, but it sure did cost a few pistons before we got it sorted
