At high tide is it possible to access the bay from the tingalpa creek mouth boat ramp at high tide and is it well marked? have a 4.2m alluminium boat. Looking for a quiet alternative to the other bay ramps.
Have kayaked here at low tide and could hardly move it was so shallow.
Would travel upstream but here there are a few hidden surprises underwater that I don't want to hit.

Hey,
Got a 4.2m aluminium boat with a 40hp on the back recently.
Taken it around Victoria point a few times and am still getting used to the boat Ramp procedure - it stresses me out especially when busy.
Is there somewhere else quieter some one would suggest to take my boat out for fishing until I learn and get used to boating a bit more? Redland and Victoria point seem pretty hectic and I obviously have still a far bit to learn about ideal Bay conditions - it was a bit hairy last time on the trip back.
Thanks!
Do I need a second battery for a electric motor

Hey
Ok so on my 4.3m tinny, I have one battery stored at stern that powers the nav lights, sounder and bilge pump. My 40hp 2 stroke yammy outboard is a pull start so it doesn't require any power to start. There's an alternator that charges the battery.
I'm getting a electric motor on the bow and am torn about where to put the secondary battery. My question is - given my outboard doesn't need power to start, can I get away with using a single battery to charge the motor + all the above mentioned electronics? Not sure what my current battery is, it's a few years old now so I'd be happy to replace it with something with lots of juice.
Cheers,
