hucho hucho Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Do you have to start it if you flush it this way? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimg1au Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 ok here is the lowdown on noise.i live on 5 acers near campbelltown and yes you are alowed to do most things. just like city folk,there is a law that can end up with the police taking what ever is making the niose. firstly you have to be reported 3 times in 28days then the police give you a noise abatment notice if you do it again within the 28days they come and take what ever is making the noise. the bloke next door dosent like motorbikes evey time i ride mine down the back i get a visit from the police. best thing is after 28days it all starts again,yes ne gets the shits when i start my boat but as its up the front of the property he dosent ring the cops YES YOU CAN GET BUSTED IF YOU FLUSH YOR OUTBOARD EVERY WEEKEND i have two coppers in the family and they have told me all this and it is confirmed on the internet the council will come and do a sound check but ringing the police is done that day they have to come out he seams happy then cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locodave Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I am fortunate to have my boat kept in the industrial estate. Although I don't think my neighbours would complain as we are in the hills and there is always lawn mowers going off anyway. See if you can find an industrial site or make friends with the regular servo. I used to go to my servo and run my motor there for a few minutes.

Zacnoel Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I agree with Hookmeup if noise is the big issue a prop muffler will work a treat and maybe appease your neighbor especially is you let him know what you have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark10187 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Just a quick update guys the neighbour next door to the one that complained spoke to me about council contacting him regarding the noise and excessive smoke from my boat motor and he told council exactly as I have been saying that I don't start it weekly and that the last time he remembered me starting it was months ago and that the smoke has never been an issue to him. But the most interesting part he told me is that he has had nothing but problems with him as well complaining to council about his boat and other problems and that also he has complained to council about the neighbour behind him so it looks like it's not just me this guy is just a serial pest to everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossfire63 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I had a neighbour like that once. Always complained about my dogs barking. So at great expense I put the dogs in a kennel for two weeks and the drop kick lodged another complaint with the Council. When the letter turned up I returned it to the Council with a copy of the receipt from the kennel along with a letter explaining that I now considered these complaints to be harassment and should they continue I would seek information to identify the complainant under the Freedom of Information Act and would sew both he and the Council for harassment and vexatious litigation. Never heard another thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hi Bustoff, he hasn't got a (legal) leg to stand on, but if you feel like trying to reason with this person it may be that they work shifts and can't sleep or may have a child or somebody ill who needs daytime sleep. If they don't present you with a legitimate reason then you are doing nothing wrong and shouldn't concern yourself too much. Try to meet them half way (initially) and if they persist in being difficult, point out that you are doing nothing illegal and they will have to get used to it happening, occasionally. Good luck mate, Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MV Sunray Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 This post makes me appreciate my neighbour. We both have boats and the only chatter over the fence is what's on the bite lol. Good luck with it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad_tate Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm with you MV, I too am lucky to have great neighbours and the one next to where my boat is parked is also a fisho so I get no complaints either. Sorry to hear others are having real issues, my only suggestion is to keep them onside if you can - sling them a fish or three if you have a good day!

zmk1962 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) FYI. I've just posted my design for a low cost DIY outboard exhaust silencer/muffler in the Workshop forum which may be of interest and help. By my iPhone Apps measurements my 200HP EFI two stroke now flushes at 80dB - noise of an Average Car. http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?showtopic=77270 Edited April 29, 2015 by zmk1962 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
