Good afternoon gents, and of course ladies. I haven’t been here for some time as I’ve sold my boat, cried for a few days and bought a caravan, the brides wishes and time to do some travelling. The other day I finally got around to going through all my fishing gear. FOR SALE 1 x Shimano Talica 16 in packaging - used and in excellent condition. This reel has been used maybe 3 time and I can honestly say it’s never caught a fish. I had full intention of getting into this type of fishing, but never really did. From memory it is spooled, I think with 300 metres of 30 or 50 kg braid. $400:00 ono It can be picked up Mount Annan, NSW, or posted at buyers expense.

If you can afford one of these https://www.galatiyachts.com/yachts/details/2768063/2019/viking/72-convertible/72/lq07/ you go right ahead and buy it. While you are at it, you can buy a smaller boat with more manoeuvrability for chasing the GT’s good luck on whatever you decide. a very nice vessel

OMG (that’s being polite)

I can’t see what motor you are using. Has anyone considered the TRIM TAB https://continuouswave.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/021079.html

Good advice Old Scaley. Kit - not sure where you live, but I found this online regarding disposal of EPIRB. https://beacons.amsa.gov.au/maintenance/disposal.asp buy a new one, register it and you’ll have peace of mind

Absolutely, I’ll be there Saturday

I replaced mine about six years ago with plastic coated gal and have never had a problem. Can’t say any more about it

Don’t know how to contact admin as I am now receiving sex ads to my personal email via this forum how do I contact them

Great idea Eddie. I’m retired, but would be interested in something like this, but live Sydney

That rubber boot around the cables looks in pretty fair condition. This is what stops the water pouring in through this area, so I don’t believe that 100+ litres have entered through here. I’d be looking elsewhere for the major problem that the water is getting in. You’ll be surprised how much water can get in through worn out bungs. Next time your out, get someone one their belly having a look where water is coming from. If there is that much coming in, surely you will see where from. I replaced all four bungs and found a broken skin fitting that was letting water through. I had a similar problem, and found it by looking when at sea. There is a lot of water pressure on the boat when in the water. good luck and cheers

Do some research, there may be a way to connect the new Garmin to the current transducer. I’m not sure and definitely have no knowledge or experience in this area. Just a thought good luck I run a Garmin 75 with B66 Airmar thru hull transducer and more than happy with the performance, even at speed https://www.gemeco.com/adapterBL.php https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=FYzNJ06VUF11E3PL2oto99 https://www.airmar.com/uploads/SpecApps/airmaremea_mixandmatch_cable_12x18_poster_MR.pdf Technology is changing daily

Greg. Which transducer do you have at the moment. Is it a Lowrance or an aftermarket like Airmar

This is the link to NSW rules on Boat Lighting. I would assume the same rules apply in other states https://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/documents/maritime/safety-rules/publications/be-bright-safe-night.pdf
