  1. Hi mick, i cant help with weights for the patriot 650, but my haines signature 650f is about 2200 fully loaded on a gal trailer (signle 200 outboard) (under 2 ton with a new alloy trailer)

    Also, i wouldn't rule out the above utes, the colarado is rated for 3.5 ton and i know someone that tows around that weight everyday for work! With newer trailers with electric brakes, towing is a lot safer.

    let us know what u decide to get

  2. Hey guys, just wondering what u guys recommend before trying to start a blue band (2stroke 85hp) ? its been sitting for about a year without a start..

    basically the battery is on charge now (was at 12v so its not completely flat), fresh fuel? new plugs?

    I gave it a quick try and it just would not run?

  3. Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has been out to JB lately? Ive got a trip planned this sunday and haven't been down there much lately, or fishing anywhere for that matter (6 months :()

    anyway, ill be out on a 5.5 stabi craft and will probably head about 10km's out max to the banks for some bottom bouncing and a troll on the way out..

    If the weathers bad, can anyone recommend some spots inside the bay ? I understand there is some exclusion zones so we will stay clear of them..

  4. Hey guys, ive just changed the impeller and all gaskets and seals with it on my mercury 85hp blueband (4cylinder inline) and also done a gear box oil change.

    When ive started up the motor(on the hose) it would not go into forward or reverse..any ideas how this might of happened or if i did something wrong during the re-assembly ?

    thanks

  5. Akuna has a steep bend dropping to the water

    do u mean the edge? ive used this ramp in the past, but with a 4x4. Can remember if it is doable with a very low sedan.

    parsley bay is a good ramp, but don't trust leaving the car there at those hours of the night/morning.

  6. Hi guys, im thinking about a trip targetting hairtail next week sometime, and was wondering if i should bother?

    Ive only read of one being caught this year? anything else biting in Jerusalem bay?

    also which is the best ramp to launch a half cab with a lowered car? im thinking akuna bay?

  7. has anyone got any reports from the georges river? Im thinking of having short sessions on the way home from work around milperra bridge..

    What exactly can i catch there and what baits do i use?

    Its been a while since i've been there, but all i can remember catching there was small tailor (on the surface usually) eels, and bream

  8. Hey guys, looking to get away over night this weekend and was wondering if anyone knows some good spots 3 hours south or north of sydney to camp?

    looking for a nice quiet town, with maybe a pub and place to pitch the tent and do some lb fishing..

  9. Hey guys, i got a blueband 80hp merc, and lately it has been dieing due to starving of fuel..

    I have to manually prime it for it to continue to run..

    I noticed today that if i have my fuel tank higher, on the rear corner seat it runs perfect..so its like it cannot suck the fuel from the tank where its sitting,

    are there any fixes to this? how does the motor actually suck the fuel, im assuming it does not have a fuel pump?

  10. My props also stuck on my motor..we just gave up until it actually needs replacing..

    tried a pulley, hammer, wd40 etc..nothing worked

    I think when it comes time when i really need to change the prop the angle grinder will be coming out..i don't believe there is another way..
