Thanks for the heads up mate, would like to get it done but $1600 scared me away. Will definitely look it up, also my one works sometimes so the motor has got bit of life in her cheers mate Sent from my GT-I9197 using Tapatalk

Yeah mate mechanic told me $900 for the part (not new) and "around" $700 for labour so I think it's alot cheaper to use my arms atm!Sent from my GT-I9197 using Tapatalk

Hi mate, hope all is well, I have the same issue with my 2 stroke yamaha sometimes it works sometimes just click click click and nothing else I had a mechanic check it out we tested the relay, battery, wiring wich was all good so he said it was my tilt motor if you gently tap on the tilt trim motor should work for about 30 seconds (if you have the same problem as me) good luck mate hope you fix soon I got quoted $1600 for the tilt trim motor and labour.

Hey mate definitely worth insurance my boats only worth $4000 but I have full insurance on it always good to no your covered and if God forbid your ever in an accident your $7000 won't be going down the drain gluck with the boat mate Sent from my GT-I9197 using Tapatalk

Hey mate, I'm also new to boating well (2 months experience) best thing to do is go late at night when nobody's there and just launch and retrieve 2-3 times I'm still not the best but getting a it better I have a 16ft half cabin I seen a few people driving it on the trailer so I tried that and failed big time lol so now I just manually do it all but try and go when there's no body there because some "experienced boaters" will make you feel like your an idiot and don't have the patience ( not all but the few Iv seen) Iv hit the boat around 35 times on the pontoon now and last week nearly ended up on the pontoon but it's ok you will learn from your mistakes good luck I'm going out tonight hopefully it's not a struggle!

Hi sorry (off topic) just wondering when boating at night do I have to leave the boat motor on with my green red and white light? Sent from my GT-I9197 using Tapatalk

Would a service you mentioned be roughly around $1000? I Don't mind paying but Just wondering what boat service prices will be Sent from my GT-I9197 using Tapatalk

Hi Fabian hope all is well, thank you for detailed response I think it's better for me to do it with a mechanic as I don't have the experience yet is there a way I could find the sponsored mechanics on here? Sent from my GT-I9197 using Tapatalk

Hi everyone my names zack I'm 26 recently purchased my first boat and looking for a fishing partner my wife's 26 weeks pregnant and I wouldn't dare to ask her to join me lol, I only want someone who can easily catch 3-4 Marlins a day within a 2 hour period or don't bother contacting me ... Lol JOKES! I'm not really a experienced fishermen but just always loved to wet a line and don't have much mates who are interested in fishing so if you want to go out and target anything we can hook on. Shoot me a message ! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi guys new to fishraider great helpful forum ... Iv just recently purchased a 4.5 half cab with 70hp first boat always loved fishing usually go on wharfs for hours but being a jet ski owner for about 3 years kind of get over it so now I'm looking for somebody who wouldn't mind coming along for the day fishing not necessarily to show me how to fish but just good company and I could also learn a thing or 2 and if your reading this and your just as inexperienced as me then stuff it will learn together! Shoot me a message cheers guys ! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi guys new to fishraider I have recently purchased my first boat don't have much mates who are interested in fishing and the wife's 26 weeks pregnant DEFINITELY will not be asking her to come out for a day fishing otherwise would be spending the night in hospital! I'm not really an experienced fishermen just always loved fishing so decided to get a boat, probably wouldn't do any deep sea fishing but any. Bites or hook ons will be good enough for me! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

And also anyone who's keen for a fishing buddy would be good also I could probably learn a thing or two about fishing! Not planning to do any deep sea fishing as I have no experience but any bites hook ups would do for me! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hey fab after reading what you said I put in YouTube greasing boat motor.... I think I'm way off I will get that gun and do it that way and yes you guys are right that bottle is an automatic mixer also mate just another question .... DIY service looks very easy based on YouTube (the changing oil bit anyway) are they just making it look that easy or just literally open 2 screws flush old oil and add new? Thanks heaps mate Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Also buddy one more question if you don't mind I had a look on google and it said its good to get grease for the outboard is this a good thing I bought? And is there any specific location to put greese around? Cheers mate appreciate your help Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
