    Solar charging batteries

    yeah but Im thinking (analogy ) that on a twin engine set up you have an oil pressure and overheat alarms for each engine ......not one warning display switched between engines because both need to be monitored. Bastards luck would see the unmonitored engine blissfully melting down while...

    Fish finders

When Im spinning for trout ( chuck n chance ) I dont just chuck the lure randomly , Im looking for fishy spots and there is local knowledge , and...

    Fish finders

    I have a Lowrance Hook reveal 9ts which I do make good use of in the sea but I haven't yet used it in fresh water looking for fish , I do use the side & down scans to spot underwater trees and branches so I can navigate my lures past them ........ being that most of the local lakes have at...

    Fish finders

    Sometimes when the bite aint so good I gets to thinkin that I dont mind if the fish are there but just not biting , I dont like the idea I am unwittingly fishing in a place where there are no fish .......now that is a waste of time , but how would you know for sure. The sitting in a tree...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Sadly I dont see many at all . Usually I see them either diving of flying back up , but as you allude to , as soon as you pay them attention they move off. I dont recall ever seeing two together . We had one that hung around long enough to empty the goldfish pond , they can scoff a 4 inch goldfish😲

    Now thats interesting ,I hadnt noticed the rod tips bent down but I cant think why Id be trolling there as I have the bar about 100m ahead and its low tide . There is only about a foot and a wee bit of water over the bar , me and Di both get on same side of the boat to tip it so one side of...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Ha , Im trying to think of a bird we would both be familiar with ...... got nothing . If you got it to cooperate and laid it out Id say from tail tip to beak tip would be about 8 inches . This one was sitting on overhead wires above a bit of swamp and was dropping down and picking off tadpoles.

    Fuel Tank incorrectly labelled?

    I cant really see the point in floaty type fuel level sensors on something rolling about . You do sorta get used to it , when my gauge is waving between 1/4 and 3/4 I know there's about 1/2 a tank . I betcha these fuel level sensors have led more peeps into trouble than they have helped . I...

    Clanking/rattling sound after prop change

    Are you using fuel with a high enough octane rating ? Is it fresh ? , was the new head gasket the same thickness as the old one ?

    Boat performance

    yes it will fly when up on the plane , but you gotta get there 1st and being as how getting out of the hole has a very different ideal trim setting than on the plane so without power trim to adjust as you go you have to compromise . I would trim it down as far as you can and see if it...
