    FINS ON OUTBOARD

    Sound like similar problem to dhype http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?showtopic=73810 Both in his and my case lower the pitch of the prop made a difference.
  2. I would re-solder and use liquid electrical tape. http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=NM2832 to sealer and water proof the joint. Add heatshrink tape over the top to be sure. http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=WH5659
  3. Try under the M4 bridge. There should also be few parking spot on Bellevue rd. I caught about 5 there in one morning.
  4. If you're heading out on Monday, I got the day off. Bank holiday. I wouldn't mine a ride in your boat.
  5. hahaha... My bare boat base on Horizon's specification weighted at 270kg alone. http://www.horizonboats.com.au/boat-range/family-and-lifestyle/easyfisher-ra/ Add motor about 60-70kg, 3 person and gears, it is well over 600kg. What the spec of your boat? My 30hp is really too small for my boat with 3 people but try to fix it cheap and if the prop makes a differences, why not.
  6. You will need a charger that can charge Calcium battery. My old battery was Sea master Calcium MCA730. I used a Projecta PC800 to charge it and even then it took overnight to fully charged. Looking at the manual of my charger, it show that Calcium battery charge at 14.7V and others at 14.4V. Quote from the QA section. Q. Why does CALCIUM mode take so long to charge? A. To fully charge a Calcium battery, the battery requires an extra charging stage called ‘Equalisation’. This consists of a constant current being fed into the battery until 16 Volts is reached. This rejuvenates the battery cells. This charging stage can take up to 12 hours. Q. Why do I need a special Calcium mode? A. Because of the different chemistry used to make a Calcium battery, a different charging algorithm (or technique) is required. Calcium batteries are also affected when deeply discharged or used heavily. They need to be recharged by a Calcium charger to fully recharge the battery and to maximize the battery’s life and performance. Q. What is a Calcium battery? A. Calcium batteries are lead acid batteries that have had calcium added to the lead plates, either to one plate (called Calcium Hybrid) or to both plates (called Calcium–Calcium). The added calcium provides a number of benefits: i. Lower internal resistance which provides a small increase in CCA performance. ii. The ability to withstand higher engine bay temperatures. iii. Low self discharge rate, which increases the shelf life, typically 4 times longer than a Lead–Lead battery.
  7. Definitely speak to the people at Solas, I dealt with Shane. I had same problem as you it struggle to get to the plane even by myself. I got 4.2 Aluminium with 2 stroke suzuki 30hp. Last 2 numbers are usually the pitch size. My motor originally come with aluminium 12" and I was advised by going to 11" would give extra 200rpm and plane quicker. So I brought from them 11" Stainless steel and it did get me on the plane quicker but lost about 2kmph. Next test would be load the boat with 3 people and see how it perform. Shane advised that if I am not happy with it, I am not stuck with it and if I sell the boat I can get trade in on it. Got some discount and shipped to my door the next day.
  8. Something to think about. Quote from Wiki about Gasoline direct injection. Emissions[edit]In 2013, a research by TÜV NORD found that although gasoline direct injection engines dramatically reduce CO2 emissions, they release about 1,000 times more particles classified by the World Health Organization as harmful than traditional petrol engines and 10 times more than new diesel engines. The release happens because direct injection results in uneven burning of fuel due to uneven mixing of fuel and air (stratification) and because direct injection engines operate with a higher pressure in their cylinders than the older engines. This pollution can be prevented with a relatively inexpensive filter that can significantly reduce the emissions of particles. However, fitting the filter is not mandatory yet.
  9. Heard that a trawler went through the whole cowan creek and pulled out 1.5 tonnes worth recently. Can anyone confirm?
  10. Try under the M4 bridge in the morning. I caught about 5 few months ago and all over 2kg.
  11. Here are the scene at Port Botany bay ramp on Saturday morning after sudden change in Weather that kick up 20-30knots winds.
  12. Just reading the Maritime Boating handbook 2011-2012. I can't see what rule(s) was broken unless your were by yourself.

    LEDs

    Hi, Done it 3 months ago on my Dunbier. Not hard just need to make such which wires is what ie(left/right indicator, brakes, running light/number plate light). They should be 12volts don't know what low voltage "Burnsy74" is talking about (Electrical Engineer background). I use the existing harness, just cut the cable as close to old lights. Strip back the cable and solder the harness to the LED light cable. Make such you remember to put on the heat shrink tubing first before soldering and put it far away from the soldering point as the cable with heat up and start shrinking the tubing. May have to sand a little off copper cable on the harness end due to oxidation and may not solder properly if there is too much oxidation (important point). Before shrinking the tubing over the solder joint check to see if it works by putting 12volts through the 7 pin connector. I used a 12 volt variable DC power supply (-ve to ground pin and move the +ve on the each of the 6 pin to find which will light up. Once done testing, rub very light grease over the solder point and cover it with heat shrink tubing and start shrinking. This will ensure it keep out any moisture. May also use another heat shrink tubing over all the cable to keep them bundle together, again much put on the tubing before soldering. Hope this help http://www.etrailer.com/faq-wiring.aspx
