First off i would like to thank the sydney water police for there help today.today started off by me sleeping in an running an hour late finally got to the ramp an headed off to get some bait at west head.our idea was to hit the fad early then troll for a marlin.So got plenty of bait an on our way to broken bay fad half way out we hear a bang we stop to look but could not find anything,so we keep going we get to the fad an start fishing we were getting a dollie nearly every bait havining a ball even though they were under size then having drifted so far past the fad it came time to motor back to it an start again but nothing no battery power at all not in either battery so we try everything to get it started but have u ever tried to pull start a 115 four stroke no chance just to much compresion.luckly we got the attension of another boat who came over to help but what could they do they towed us back to the fad an contacted the coast guard we could not even use the radio.the coast guard contacted the water police an a big thank you goes out to them they were out to us in under an hour we jumped started the boat but as soon as u put it in to gear it would stop so the call was made to tow us in an did they what we were doing an easy 30 to 35 km an hour all the way back to the ramp at brooklyn they got us home an they were the nicest guys so we got home which is the best part but never write off the water police to come to your aid cause they saved our bums today it will be going in this week to find out whats wrong i think alternator but wait an see.
