awesome catch congrats

I went the garmin 95sv uhd. Very happy with performance but pissed off that the SD card flap doesn’t seal well ! I’ve had water in there once !

Thanks guys , went with FB marketplace . Offered receipts and to run it . Looking like a guy will pay me a deposit tomorrow 🤞had a fair bit of interest as some would know motors aren’t easy to get atm. Looks like I’ll be repowering with a Yam 4 stroke which will suit us better for the type of boating we do .

Hi all , going to move on from my 115 optimax . Just wondering where the best place to advertise? Facebook , gumtree etc ? Never sold one before

Thanks guys , yeah I use 291 for sealing it’s good but I find if used as “caulking “ and if it’s exposed it goes “matt” and allows dirt to adhere unlike silicone that’s why in this case was thinking of using white silicon . on my transom I’ve drilled out most of the holes oversized and filled with epoxy before redrilling the screw holes so the screws holding the fittings on need no sealant at all , but I still used 291 🙂

Howdy all. I am well versed in using sika for most things , but I got thinking I am fitting a new bow spirt and as I just want to stop water seeping under and into the bolt holes would a neutral cure white silcone be as effective ? I know sika has adhesive qualities but I don’t need that just a sealant ? TIA

BRP are largely owned by an equity firm “Bain capitol” like most equity companies it’s just dollars (lots) and cents (not much) to them. As reported here year on year sales have slid for etec brand and these equity firms can be brutal and I’ve been involved with a “Bain “ acquired company before. Decisions can be made very fast . FYI is Bain rings a bell it’s because they are chasing Virgin AU . In reality as good as these motors may have been the average punter buying a boat package and has very little clue will have one thing honed into them “buy a four stroke “ and that would have been very detrimental to the brand .

Great result! What we you using bait or plastics ?

Welding can induce stress and cause further cracking . As above best sent back to the Manufacter to rectify .

Already discussing here mate.http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?showtopic=78196

Speak with Craig from huetts marine. He can tell if and when it's been serviced and sort you out. He is an evinrude specialists

Gone, the rubber in the impellers can go hard, and reduce performance of the pump. Was the thermostat open?

Looking at getting a drum winch, looking at savwinch, lone star and tuff winch. The quintrex doesn't have the largest well, if I look at the 500watt models typically 200mm dia they hold about 60-65m of 6mm rope and 5-6m of chain. Seems a tad short to me and I would prefer to have closer to a 100m or am I being pedantic? Really only fish river, bay or close inshore.

Pulled the tank out no corrosion the alloy looks great, not obvious were she's leaking from, couple of suss welds from factory that may have a pin hole. Cleaning it know and will get her welded. Any suggestions for a good alloy welder in western Sydney?

Thanks Gaz Yeah makes sense, the pickup being a stand pipe. Doesn't make me feel better though if the tanks starting to go! Bigger job
