Basil D Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I Rebuilt my outboard and finished it last Friday and today was a good day to test it out. I rang a friend of mine late and we were out on the Hacking at 3.15pm. Engine ran a little rough and I had some tools with me, adjusted a few things and seems to run better, we headed straight to 120meters of water and there were birds everywhere, we trolled to Marys reef and back for a donut, heaps of bait fish everywhere but no biggins. Did a flat head drift for half an hour and came up with two Jackets and four Flathead all nice size, came back in the hacking in front of Bundeena and came up with one squid in 15 minutes, Packed and headed home Happy engine is running fine. Cant wait for a full day out now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
