    Underfloor fuel tank

    Thanks for the ideas. I might see if I can flush mount a fuel tank gauge. If not, a dowel will always work.

    Underfloor fuel tank

    I need the fuel tank size for big reef trips. I won't have the tank under the casting deck, it will be just foreward of the centre of the boat.
  3. Hi All. I'm looking at getting an underfloor fuel tank put into a Quintrex 420 Renegade tiller steer. The motor is a 40hp Yamaha two-stroke and I'm looking at around a 100l tank with some normal outboard tanks as extra. What would be the process of installing a tank. I know where I can get the tank and have it welded in, but I don't understand the process of plumbing it though. Would I need a fuel pump to pump the fuel to the motor? The fuel lines would be around 3m. How would I check the fuel level without gauges and what else do I need to know? Thanks

    Bag Limits:

    Thanks Andrew.
  6. Hi all, I'm just curious to know when bag limits were implemented in Queensland? Were they passed in the 'Fisheries Act' of 1994? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks

    Lifespan?

    Sorry mate. I didn't receive the notification. Yes, I've been doing a bit of fishing. What about you?

    Lifespan?

    I'll have to buy a cylinder compression tester on the weekend, as I don't know. I was told the compression was good and it was checked out by a mechanic for the previous owner when he bought it. I plan on trading it for a smaller outboard or selling it. I don't think I'll keep it in the long term, as I want an outboard for a roof topper.
  9. Hi all, I've just managed to purchase an early to mid 90's Mercury 2 stroke outboard. It is the 40hp 'Classic' model. It's an electric start, oil injected, electric trim and tilt model that does run. It will need a new impeller, spark plugs and possibly a carburetor flush, but is a promising motor. How long do these old outboards last for, and how much would this be worth if I give it a lick of paint (it's faded) and cleaned it up nicely? Thanks
  10. Way gone sorry Bushy. They sold before I even got up there. I was due up there that weekend and they went on the Friday. Sorry.
  11. Hi all. I have a few sounders lying around at the moment and I'm just wondering, will a totalscan transducer work on a Lowrance LMS 520C? I assume it will need an adapter, and sidescan won't work, but is it possible? Thanks
  12. Thanks Tony. I might give that a whirl at a creek mouth.
  13. Thanks Ellicat. I will have a chat with them also.
