Interesting how she was promoted since the incident

Just gone to level 3 down here on the south coast, with the taps being removed from boat ramp areas today. Quite ridiculously we can flush our engines at home over grass for 5mins but if you have a pool or want to water the garden you have a two hour period both morning and evening to do so. No boat or trailer washing.

My mother-in law lives alone down here and like many little old ladies loves watering her garden. Her water usage is more than double our family of five, these restrictions will not reduce her usage and that's legal.

I guess they're trying alleviate the issue of people filling 1000 plus litre water tanks

Hi Deek and Mrs! I live right on Burrill Lake and fish regularly in the lake. I was more looking for opportunities to join someone offshore. Seems I might have located a local, but please keep me in mind for anything at sea! Best to both, Holls.

I certainly will Holls

Hi Raiders,

Looking at getting my brother a gift voucher for a fishing trip within botany Bay or Sydney Harbour. Any recommendations please PM.

Thanks

Deek

@deek lucky you to have a holiday place down there!

@Holls and @deek swordie and I will be around that way in a week or so too - mini raiders day? 

I must give thanks to my late inlaws. Without their sensible investments we wouldn't be able to have bought the house. Unfortunately, we've just come back from down that way. So, it looks like November is our next trip down.

G'Day Holls,

We have a holiday place down Manyana way. We try and get down every three weeks or so. I have a 4.1m Polycraft side console. I normally fish Conjola and just around Bendalong. I don't go too far outside as I don't have radio. I've only fished Burrill Lake once, but have witnessed some good fish being caught. PM me your details and when I'm down next i'll give you a yell.

Just sent you a PM Keflapod.

Don't discount the Polycraft range either.

I guess it depends if you want to match the colour. Otherwise, you could use a silicon or a product called Selleys Knead It Aqua

Ammonia is the new tech. for hydrogen....much safer and cheaper to do....I think Toyota is doing a fair bit in this direction....also those of you that are company share tended....Australia has a lot of ammonia manufacturer capability so investing this way would be a good idea going forward....

Jim

Korea already has Hydrogen buses and are looking at adopting it for their trains. Hyundai already have a Hydrogen car in Australia. They're just waiting for the Governemnt to sign off on them.

Nice Job Josh, But you could've used a better beer mate

I had the same thing happen to me. It turned out it was the bimini in the upright position. Folded it down and hasn't been an issue

Apparently they are pretty good from what I've read.They are probably overkill on a small  boat trailer like mine.

Went shopping for a new coupling,towball today armed with my vernier calipers and micrometer and guess what?Couplings and tow balls vary in size by as much as 0.7mm.

I bought the best match up I could find,moved my axle back to give me my max ball weight of 75kg and  the bloody thing is still banging under tow but not as much as before.

Will have to live with it I guess but geez it's annoying.

Just turn the music up and you won't hear a thing.

Great little buy SOTW. My last boat had a 40hp Yammie, never missed a beat. If you need a name of a mobile mechanic in the Mountains,  give me a shout.

Thanks guys I'm sure things at least safety wise will be up to scratch, fish wise is anyones guess but I will do what I can to put Neil onto something worth while.

" Going Fishing " I have been fishing the bay since I was a kid ( now 72 ) but thanks for the advise it's always good to see people looking after your best interest and there's always something to learn no matter how long you have been doing something.

I remember Molly before the place was built out, used to be a top fish reef and it's where I caught my first Hairtail back in about 1964, the bay has changed heaps in my time and most of it not for the better.

I was 2 in 1964

OK FR Gurus I have a question for those who have a Polycraft. I have a 4.1m side console. When I remove the bungs after a few hours on the water, there's seems to be 2 to 3 litres of water run out. Whilst this is not worrysome, it is annoying. I've been told that the two bottom outboard mounting bolts and the winch hook can cometimes leak as well. I've re sealed the bung areas, sounder mounts and ladder mounts.  As yet I haven't had the chance to re seal the engine mounts. Other than using Lexel, Sika or Soudal should I be looking at any other product?

Gardening, car things, a few beers and involved with the local church

That reminds me make sure you flush your bulge with fresh water when washing your boat, that way you know it works and isn’t full of Sand or Salt.

sorry OP for thenthread hijack but we are starting a Bowrider owners and modifiers appreciation group. ?

I always flush my Bulge

Just Ordered my member pack as well. Just to add to the other suggestion, Beanies.

Cheers

Deek
