At the moment any where in the lake has been good for me. But you cant go past the drop over at swansea near the sand islands

I brought my current used motor from up near the qld boarder from a marine dealer they where more than happy for me to organize my own courier and they packed it up safe on a pallet for me at no charge. I would defiantly ask to see a video of it running and service history as well I payed them by bank transfer did not have a problem

Just googled it and it seems to be the big news mercury have on thier website there going to release in miami .

Is the garmin echomap 70s touch combo a good fishfinder/gps? There on sale at the moment for $849 RRP is $1200 from a well know boating and camping store And i am in the market for a decent combo unit for the new boat not really looking to spend any more than $850 even this is streching the budget.

Thanks huey exactly the answer i was hoping for.

need a bit of advice i have choosen hydrualic steering over cable steering for a new boat i am building and the motor is a 30hp black motor and when i tilt the motor up the steering cylinder hits the screw clamps and stops the motor from reaching full tilt my motor does not have the clamps it is bolted on so can i cut them off where i have marked in the photo i have added??? The manual that came with the steering says to cut them off if it was a bigger motor where there is only stubs there

Thats gold. Made my day

Great report Barnzey and nice BFT nice size

No not the sand island been camping there for 4 years in a row now.pulbar they stopped you camping there I think because of in damaged birds or something similair not shore

I was camping at the sand islands for a week and the amount of boaters that where going the wrong way in the channel and not sticking to the speed limits and no wash areas was ridiculous.

Tell me about it I was camping at the sand islands at pelican for a week and when going down the channel to swansea shops boats where all over the place did not have a clue how to use the markers. even anchoring dead smach in the middle of the channel at night some without lights. Was even a couple boats towing tubes in the channel too

It is all fixed now it was jumping out of gear so i replaced the gear box

Yeah it runs pretty quick

Do you mean how far up the outlet ? I just fish at the opening to the lake sometimes go up about 20 to 30 metres

I have fished earing outlet a far bit and get some good fish out of there. Have caught some good bream at the outlet in the 30cm range
