    Nobody fishing?

    3-4 lbs would have to be a good feed for two , if you take it:):) . I would take a 2lb trout if one of my neibours asked for one ( they are mostly older folk but we do trade produce and capture ) but normally I dont keep them as I get other better eating fish ( also traded ). Nice that...

    10 speed auto seems to much unless the torque band is pitiful. When I 1st got the 6 speed I sorta thought that was to many but I do like it now . My other car 2003 Rav4 has only 3 speed and overdrive and it really needs a couple more . My old car was a 350 sbc with a powerglide (2 speed )...

    Yes its an auto I think it may be a U160L , not sure now . Paddles are so slow that your better off just leaving it in D . Fits behind a 2GR-fe Toyota V6 FWD if that helps :) As for the skip shift ......... why 🤯🤯🤯. That seems berserk to me . I wonder how many crashes or shat pants that causes .

    I got a 6 speed and it does get a bit indecisive in the twisty hills , I just paddle it down to 4th ( or whatev ) and unless the revs get to high (red line ) or low it stays there ............until I go back to D ........even if that takes untill the passenger seat unwanted information/...

    Still got them on the Capri , and as for the electric windows Id be a lot happier if they could make up their mind when they are going to work. If I turn motor off with trans in D the radio will stay on and the windows will work for ever with ign off .........as long as you dont open the...

    Nobody fishing?

    It is a nice looking pond You guys seem to have such a wide variety of fish that a pond this size would be self supporting and provide edible fish , where as here apart from tiny fish we only got trout , salmon and ( in some places )perch and a lot of our fishing waters rely on being...

    How do you screw into fiberglass/gelcoat without chipping?

    After seeing the above I think I would try a dremel with either a bur or a stone to wizz thru the gelcoat.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Apart from the gravel on the beach that could be just about any lake in NZ . Boat looks good . I do like to see older stuff that is well presented , helps me to know that there are still sensible people that are not blinded by modern technology. Someone mentioned about how 10% of the...

    Solar charging batteries

    I just got an Amazon smart charger and it says ( and you'd need to be a linguist to decipher the translation to english ) not to charge lifepo batteries without BMS , which I assumed was part of the battery. Pissed me off :D I actually had to read the bloody instructions ........one of them...

    Do waverunners have low oil pressure shutoff system?

    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...
