    Nobody fishing?

    M9540 24 speed parking brake

    Yeah it seems wrong from a "dont mis-treat your tractor " point of view , but after a bit of thought I cant really think why not . I guess there are times when its ok to use something for a purpose it wasnt intended for ( like battery drills on your fishing reel ) with reasonable success

    Gear case oils

    Time has come to fill my reconned gear case with oil . I have long used synthetic gear oils in my bikes and cars , and used ATF in my racebike gearboxes . I like the thin oil , convinced that it soaks up less power. Have any of you used synthetic gear oil in your outboards ? opinions ?

    Transom saver or no?

    Yeah it sure did :) . In the end the tie down about 1.5m from the back clamped the boat down but the bow lifted a bit over rough ground ( we winched the 4wd towing the boat out of some locations ) as the trailer flexed so I used the chain as a fail safe and just held it on the trailer with...
