2nd Trip With Electric On The Yak

[Binder]

Well went out to NPD this morning to have a bit more of a play around with the yak with the electric on it. First time on the water since Borumba, probably 3 months since on NPD. Water is the lowest I have seen it since the 2008 drought. Ramp is quite dodgy now.

electric went quite well, did 10k round trip on 1 x 35 amp battery and it was still at 12.4 volts when I got home.

Would have gone further but a bit of a cool breeze sprang up from behind me and when I turned around to look, there was a bewdy of a squall coming across the dam behind me, with storm clouds in the distance. Time to head for home! Got about 20 yards from the ramp when the sky opened up and I got saturated!

Speed was about 4kph on low, just slow enough to troll a lure ok.  6k on high.

Only issue was sounder didnt work, no juice to it. Worked fine first trip, so not sure what happened, maybe a dry joint. Didnt really worry me, know the dam well enough to have not lost any lures.
