How is it possible for a running outboard to upset a gps compass? I went out with my mate in his new runabout. I opened the compass app on my phone and noticed the red end of the compass pointed nearly south. When he shut the motor down the red end swung around and pointed north' as it should. The only explanation I can come up with is that the electronics on the outboard generate a radio interference on the same frequency that the gps compass uses. Any other thoughts? Jim

Growing up in Coff's Harbour we would regularly meet an old lady whilst we were fishing the run in of the creek at night. She would sniff the air and say that there were jewies on the beach. She fished with a handline and beach worms and never missed catching some

What a waste. Tossing all the flesh on the backbone and the skin. Nothing nicer than crispy skin. I will stay with my old method.

Tank drained and refilled with 2 stroke outboard. $54 for 4L

Looks like I am back to yak fishing till I can drain it. Put wrong oil by mistake

Yes 30hp Yamaha with 3 carbies and oil injection

When storing a motor after use and having flushed it should you run the motor dry of fuel to stop carbies getting clogged

Ok. Here is the problem, I have a 30HP Yamaha 2stroke oil injected outboard. I have filled the oil reservoir with some 4 stroke oil. Any problems here?

I occasionally get Gurnard in St Georges Basin.

I bit my split shot for years. Maybe explains why I am like I am! Lead levels are normal.

Who gets leg cramps from peddling and how do you overcome them?

Years back I had a tinny with a leak under a frame, near the keel line. I drilled it out and inserted a blind aluminum pop rivet. Packed it with 2 part epoxy. Never leaked again

Named my yak yackerty-yak

I have holidayed here for over 50 years and now live permanently. I think I know my way around the basin by now
