    Floatation

    Hi Gappy, I went to Aus-thyrene to get my foam when I had accidentally spilled the petrol inside the boat. They got a lot of off-cut there. Last time I just paid them $20.00 for a half load of ute. It is located in Kings park near Blacktown. i found out there are different types of polystyrene they got. Some of them are more firm and some of them are soft. Cheers Phil
  3. Hi, How big was the boat? and what size of the outboard attached on it? Cheers, Phil
  4. Would u mind tell me how much did u spend for the brand new 4 stroke yamaha? PM me if u dont mind. Thanx
  5. So can someone explain what is micro jigs?
  6. What really makes an aluminium tank so expensive? Does it need to be certified? How thick is the fuel tank wall? I believe it will only need less than a half sheet of aluminium plate to fabricate 40 litres tank.

    Hi Gibson, I had the same problem with my Johnson 90 HP outboard before but it was fixed when I changed the old fuel and the two stroke oil change to xd-50. Rather than using ear muff, flush your outboard from the tail will also help to clean up in detail. You can also take out the prop and clean it up further and install it back after finish cleaning. cheers, Phil
  8. Me too. There r plenty of them in upper lane cove river but no idea how to hook them up.
  9. Hi, In this case, the boat insurance cover the damaged car or only cover the boat and trailer? On the other hand, does car insurance cover the boat and trailer? Phil
  10. Hi FranticD, Same as hookmeup, I did my course in D'albora but Cabarita instead of five dock. The instructor was very helpful and never fail anyone (at least no-one fail in my group). There's a chinese guy who knows little English also pass the test so your chance to fail the test is zero (thats what I believe). They also let us drive their aluminum catamaran during the pracical. Very nice and steady boat. Goodluck cheers, phil
  11. I think u can also flush the outboard from the tell tale with the outboard running as well instead of using muff. Regards, Phil
  12. That always happen in government's project. The toilet of the tafe building that i'm attending has been renovated since early april are still not finished and sometimes i've to use the female toilet with scare that gals bump in. hopeless contractors.
  13. Hi benzeness, Just wondering what is the brake cable? R u referring to the trailer brake cable? Or is it some kind of component from the boat? Thanx
  14. Hi, I owned Stacer 525 sea runner (cuddy cab) with 90 HP 2 stroke Johnson. I think with the length 5.1 meter, 60 HP is not good enough or marginal. My Johnno can go for 37 knots at top speed and very powerful but very noisy and suck a lot of fuel and oil. I recon u get a smaller size of boat so u don't need a big engine especially when the fuel price surge after carbon tax. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?alpz3w

  18. Very sharp teeth. Anyone experience been bitten by hairtails? I experienced been bitten by eel once.
  19. hi, Just my opinion, have an smaller auxiliary outboard in case something wrong the the main outboard. Cheers, Phil
