    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...

    Tohatsu M18 gearcase dismantle

    As above , its time to strip / inspect gearcase and after watching a few vids I have the plan but one thing the vids dont show is how to get that bearing carrier out of the case if it dont want to come out . I have heated , CRC'd and used a lever in the lever slots . It has moved about 10...

    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...

    Fish finders

    :) A large part of fishing is the anticipation , and ones ability to use ones acquired skill and knowledge to influence the outcome to some degree. 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...

    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😲
