Hi Rob, this is the video on the Jetski... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7py0SK1nd50 and this one is with Camera on my head.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ng7EZQ46AA the thing I have learnt as seen in both video's is you can have condensation in side the housing and as soon as the sun...

Hi Rob, Yes I have had my gopro for a while now...looking at buying some of the new addon's for it like WiFi and a rear mounted viewer so I can see what I am filming. One of my hates with the camera is when mounted you never knew it was on unless you stuck your head in front of the lens and...

Thanks Paul, so it looks like they have only sold me the hand held..bugger!!! I have been out a few times lately...i am in the process of building a helm station near my platform. This is so I can back into the berth without having to rely on the camera...Had a bit of a scare the other week as...

Hi Paul, Sometime ago you purchased a remote for your bow thruster, which model do you have? My system is a "side-power" unit and I have purchased the remote, I also thought it came with the transmitter ( haven't received it yet but now being told I need the transmitter) The unit cost me $430...

Non rush hour probably 1hr.. Careel Bay Marina is where I was..they have tender service 7 days a week as well. Careel bay is protected against most winds except Westerlies. Close to bus service and Avalon Shopping centre. Get a 24v Solar panel for your boat. I bought one for our boat for...

Hi Paul, we are really enjoying our time there. Also, we seem to head out less just hang at the marina..people next to us are always having drinks. I think as the weather gets warmer there will be far more parties..so may just use the boat to sleep aboard... For your info..we had all our...

Rob, your new gang could be called the " The Vomitos" lol. Lost count of how many of your members have decided to puke on your boat amongst other things.. I think Ill stay upwind and far enough away from any damage Anyway, rob sounds like you are enjoying life Ozzie

I finally met Paul, had his boat down at the quays marina here in pittwater. So was good to put a name to the face. He did mention he enjoyed the brazilian Michel telo boating video clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjaYxJyEoJI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I purchased my first motor boat, Sea ray 400 db from Lake Texoma, it was berthed at Highport. She was then shipped although the way to Australia ( 5 weeks to wait for the ship and another 4 weeks to travel from Houston to Sydney). A year later I noticed Highport wasn't so high as it was under...

I have been looking at a wireless remote for the stern thruster and engines so I can just stand on the swim platform and bring her in. I have a huge blind spot from the helm to the back of the boat. There is a camera mounted but difficult to get depth of field. Just need to find who may supply...

Rob, just had my boat antifouled at a cost of $5400. Dropped back in the water yesterday.Actually, it looked to good to drop back in the water. my initial quote was for $2700 + $800 for top side polish (hull only) However, this did not include the Hydraulic swim platform (an extra $600) then...

Rob, relying on the internet and relay stations for AIS isn't accurate enough. Sometimes it takes ages to update. On my last boat I had AIS and it amazed me how many boats I was seeing on my chart plotter here in Pittwater but they weren't showing on the internet. I think in a few years they...
