Well it’s done thanks for your well wishes The hernia was repaired Tuesday afternoon,as it was open surgery had a night in hospital and discharged about lunchtime yesterday Right side of groin very tight, no pain it just feels like I have done 1000 stomach crunches 😁 I will start walking in a few days and take it as I go on another note nurses deserve to get a pay rise 👍

Hi just a quick update booked in next week,the surgeon is recommending open cut as it’s a big bugger and not worse risking a keyhole on so about 6 weeks of Netflix in bed I think wife has started mowing the lawn 😱to get into practice she can start the Honda ok so I’m happy

I coughed after dinner a little bit and man that hurt 😂 So I can imagine what it’s like when your mates make you laugh after surgery 😇

Thanks for the feedback it’s much appreciated and better than dr google 👌 it’s an inguinal one and it freaks me out when you push it back in 😂 i am booked in for ultrasound tomorrow so find out more after that I am hoping to go keyhole with a bit of mesh thrown in i have private cover thank goodness

Hi all I developed a hernia yesterday has anyone had one ? how do you live and hold it in until you can get surgery I am getting an ultrasound tomorrow then looking at restraints but guessing it will be a month or more before surgery Thanks heaps greg

I am Happy pay $280 but wife runs the budget and I am going on a hunting trip next month that I haven’t mentioned yet if I take her out in the boat a few times before I drop the I am going hunting darling I have a good chance of a positive reply 😇

Hi all i have been stuck at work and no chance to get on forum anyway here is a short video of motor running just know took a bit to start and a tad smoky - 2 stroke 50:1 and 95 octane going by the video is the impeller working ok without changing it for the moment thanks greg

Thanks kingie I am working tomorrow and Friday so will get the ss minnow out Saturday morning put the muffs on the motor and give it a run on another note I have to premix my fuel ,is it worth running 98 octane or just stick with 95 ?

Thanks noelm the motor is a 35 h/p Johnson seahorse, built around early 1980,s The mechanic has been in the game for a long time and I am pretty sure he would use genuine stuff or I hope 🤞

Hi all I haven’t been on for a while but have a question if I can ask I changed the impeller in June last year and have used the boat twice since then for an hour in total running I flush the motor with muffs running them for 5 minutes when I get home although I have only used the motor for an hour it’s been over a year since the impeller he’s been changed and the boat ,motor and trailer have been sitting in the shed The weather is getting warmer and I want to take it out should I change the impeller before I go out ? mechanic is $280 (included in service is impeller change) thanks Greg

Thanks noelm there is a boat shop on way home

Hi campr I start work at 2 am so going to take the seat to work and call in to the hardware store on way home

Thanks noelm I had a few 1/4 inch bolts at home and thought that would do but too small for the hole and a shop didn’t have any screws or bolts in that section to use

Hi just a question what size screws or bolts to I get to secure seat to the swivel pedestal (titan brand swivel) thanks greg
