Hi Rob, did that happen yesterday ? I was awoken this morning at 5:00 am by some huge southerly gusts at home. I had a quick shower and headed down to St George motor boat club to check my boat and tender, as i was lazy last weekend and left the tender on the wharf. I am pretty exposed to the...
Where we saw the dolphins, it was very rare to see them. My wife has grown up on this river and has never seen them. It must be the water quality is improving. The river has had some pollution problems over the years. We did have a pretty good whale season off Sydney this year as well
How cool, we decided to fill the boat up and give it a run down the Georges River in Sydney and right next our yacht club there was a pod of Dolphins, maybe about 10 incluing a calf.
We have never seen any Dolphins in the area before. After we got near them we turned the boat off and floated...
Ian, the Cafe is great.the food is really good and as you said dog friendly. The Cafe is licensed as they still have the bar at the back. It is great for breakfast if staying on the boat. When they first opened, they started at 5:30 so I could call through for egg and bacon roll and a coffee...
Good customer service there Ian. I really can't understand their why they would offer a discount. I would move out of principal. I am spending time at St George Motor Boat club over Christmas, they have always been really great to me. I did spend a few months at RMYC Port Hacking but found it...
Not sure if has been covered but I searched and could not find the answer, but has anyone experience the throttles losing their stiffness. My port engine throttle slips and I need to rest my hand on the throttle to maintain the revs. I have 1996 with two. 7.4 mercrusier shaft drive. The...
Nice Ian, my carpets and padded fabric areas + mattress have been done and was thinking next year of getting the cushions done. What did you go with fabric wise? Also being in the same area, can you PM me they guys that did it.
Cheers
Thank Ian still getting use to all the systems. The volt meter on the main switch board inside has read pretty much the same each week since the batteries were replaced, being about 12.5.
Hi Ian,
usually the boat gets a quick run, maybe 20 mins down to Kangaroo Point and back. At the mooring there is nothing running apart from the bilges pumps (hopefully don't have Rob's draw issues) Usually if I just start up, rpm is about 1100. I have just purchase a multi meter and check it...
Just a general question, when I had the generator running yesterday and the charger on, I noticed the charger showed it was pumping in between 30 to 40 amps. I was not sure if this was too much. The charger is the original searay fitted.
I have 5 batteries (maintenance free type), 4 for the...
Hi, I just replaced my manifolds and risers with the hitek stainless steel system. What the mechanic did say was the exhaust hoses were very flat without much fall. He suggested that we cut the exhausts at the base where the hoses meet the under water exhausts which will then provide a greater...
I had the manifolds and risers removed today. Down here in Australia the boats sit in salt 100% of the time. Base on the service records that came with the boat (we bought it Dec 2012) they were last replaced in 2006. Not sure in how many hours have been done since they were replaced, but the...
Hi Ian, sorry I did not respond to your last post. I turned up at the factory but Alan never showed. I was a little disappointed as I went out of my way to go there and also confirmed a earlier that week. Anyway he called me later that day but was already down near Grafton. The phone keep...
