Kruzenvax

Thanks, was not asking for spare. It is visible, but displays 0 lt/h when on idle, only when starting and once in 5 minutes or so spikes above 0

2010 Seafarer Vanquish

Does anybody have one? I'm trying to use one and seem to be having problems (its connected to HDS8). Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks

Hi all, Turned my sounder on today in the garage and noticed that the structure scan transducer produces some sort of ticking sound roughly 1-1.5 times per second... and looks like the stricture scan image on the sounder is getting scrolled in sync. Moreover once in about 3 second the ticking rate increases for a very short while - so does the scrolling speed. Did not notice that on the water but perhaps I was not paying attention. Is that normal? Thanks

There is no more carpet on my next boat, that for sure, made sure that is the case. Any investment in speeding up after-the-trip procedure is money well spent. I use saltaway tp break these layers of salt and this also allows to flush motoer faster. Got my hose on the reel - also saves time. Will try pressure cleaner soon - should be great with saltaway mix.

Thanks a lot guys, A lot of useful info. Will check on some of the leads provided... What do you think about Seafarer Vaquish 5.25? Is it ok for the "close offshore"? Long reef max? Is 90lt tank is a worry? Thanks

I love my electric! In addtion to "sneakiness" it adds some safety. If something goes wrong 80lb leccy is much better than oars... which I do not have to carry onobard anymore!

Thanks guys, The budget is that I'll pay a right proice for a right rig. There was a dealer near me who was selling trailcrafts... which they stopped and then I learned they are in trouble. Glass is OK, thanks a lot for the tip.

Hi all, If I'm to buy a 4.9-5m centre console boat designed for fishing - would are my options? Aluminum or fiberglass - looking for the max. toughness and sea abilities for the size. I was looking at Tabs, Trailcraft - but it looks like these are no longer avaliable... Thanks

Wow, looks like a professional forecast, thank you thank you! Went exactly as predicted; had a lot of good squid but lost MY fish Back to the drawing board...

Hi all, How would tomorrow (Botany Bay) look like from the weather point of view? Any chances of getting something with all these thunderstorms, scorching temperatures, pressure jumping? Thanks

Went there yesterday to have a look... couldn't find the facility to flush engine - e.g. 2 10 minute bays are there but no taps.

Hi Huey, Thanks for the info, I'm also interested in HDS5/7; didn't know that the "structure scan" won't be avaliable with HDS5; Lowrance did not mention this to me. Could you please confirm my understanding of you post that HDS7 will not work with 83/200 kHz transducer? That would be a pty. What I like about Lowrance structure scan in that it seems to be working directly under the boat as well... and this is an add-on I can get later... Thanks

Hi all, Going to fish for the 1st time after more than a year and a half off the water. Will propably go (if the weather is OK) Sat afternoon - Botany or maybe Prt Hacking (boat). Would appreciate some help in terms of what should I target at this time of a year, and what would be the plan. Would prefer not go go very far off for the 1st trip after a long break. Thanks
