    Long Reef

    Hi Fellow Raiders, Look like it's going to be a cracker of a weekend and time to brush off the cobwebs from the boat. I usually fish around Botany Bay and though it might be time to take a look at Long Reef as I've seen many reports of good fish being produced and have never ventured that way. I've got a 490 Freedom Sport with 75hp and was looking for some advice on - Distance from Sydney Heads From the many GPS marks out there how large is the Long Reef area What's the depth around the reef Thanks in advance Matt
  3. Hi fellow Raiders, Does anyone know where i can buy one of those berley buckets around Sydney that mount to the maxi bracket in place of the ladder? Thanks Matt
  4. Hi fellow raiders, We are looking at travelling for the Christmas holidays up the coast, can anyone recommend a good mobile boat trimmer ? Thanks Matt
  5. Hi Guys, Thanks for the suggestions and ideas, by the looks of it there are plenty of raiders improvising when it comes to storage. Matt
  6. Hi Raiders, I've recently upgraded to a 490 Freedom Sport and was looking for some ideas for storing rods whilst driving between sports or not in use while on the water, i've considered a rocket launcher but concerned using light rods they may bounce out. I was also looking at adding underfloor storage that some Freedom Sport's already come with, looking for ideas? Thanks Matt
  7. Count me in i would be interested depending on the dates. Thanks Matt

    VHF radio

    Hi fellow Raiders, I've recently purchased a boat that has a VHF radio installed, i know that i need to obtain a certificate of proficiency can anyone suggest from experience is it better to study the handbook yourself and then sit the exam or go to one of the courses. Any suggestions on locations to around Sydney to site the course? Thanks Matt
  10. Hi there fellow Raiders, I've recently upgraded to a 490 Freedom Sport which has a Mercury 75hp 4 stroke and was wondering if there's anything that I should be looking at in between trips? Thanks Matt
  11. Maybe if people got there boats serviced regularly and look after them, then they wouldn't get stuck in the middle of the ocean, when I get out there I want to get the most of my day....

    Hi Guys, Thanks for all your replies, is there a quick test that i can preform to see if the tacho is faulty? May have a look tonight at the back of the tacho and post a pic from memory only setting was 2 or 3 cyl.

    Prop size

    Hi Guys, I'm just after some advice regarding prop selection, i have a brooker 435 with 40hp 2004 Mariner. I've had a look at what prop i currently have and it reads - 816702A40P12 mercury, making the assumption that it is a 12 pitch prop. It currently rev's out at 3000 at top speed. The boat doesn't have any trouble getting out of the water. Been searching online shop but not sure if i need a 13 spline etc. Any advise would be appreciated.
