    Getting ready for summer

    Hi Guys
    The weather here has put a stop to going fishing this weekend.We have had 3 weeks of strong cold fronts,another is hitting us now and another due sunday.Shame I have an extended long weekend too,off today,tommorow and monday There has been up to 8m swells in Albany in the last couple of days,it will take a week of calm weather to iron the bumps out
    I was going to fit the sounder today then look at doing some fishing for the rest of the weekend

    Anyhow,change of plans.Taking the boat up to the city tommorow for a full service on the engine,plus whilst its up there Im going to get the canvas on the bimini top re-done.When I get it back I will fit the sounder.

    Got a couple of fishing rod repairs to do(damaged tips,rough handling by deckies????) then bring on summer

    Cool stuff Andrew,, literally
    Bad luck about the timing of the weather, but as your doing, a good chance to catch up on maint issues, so that she's in good condition when your "out" there.

    As an aside, how do you go about fixing your rod tips. Unfortunately, when I went out last time, I had the rods in the cab,,, and the dog
    The really stupid thing about my scenario, its a two piece rod,,,,

    Looking forward to hopefully getting a bit more time to get out there this summer, both with the boat, and just off the rocks and beach. (Next time, I'll try to remember to separate rods prior to letting dog in the car )

    If its the tip only its easy.
    Go to BCF,they sell a range of tip sizes.They are held on with hot glue.Simply heat the old one with a ciggy lighter then melt the new glue with ciggy lighter then fit the tip.
    See the Fuji display in BCF,the tips and glue are all there.

    Got a call from the boat shop today.
    Service done.I asked them to kit the fuel pump as in the past I have had issues with the boat conking out,I replaced all the fuel lines and filter system and it went away.
    They say the carbs had water in them so I had them pull them apart and kit them out too.
    They now only need to replace the canvas top and she is ALMOST ready for Xmas.
    Just need to fit the HDS9 gear,lookout fishies in Albany accomadation has been booked

    Was talking all things good with young Kev (Barra1) last weekend. He's managed to give me some inspiration to get mine back in the water.

    I bought a fuel flow sensor kit for my Lowrance gear today.It allows me to use the fuel management data on the HDS9,much more reliable than the fuel gauge that only takes 30 litres to fill when the gauge says half empty,100lt tank.
    Hoping to do some installation work this weekend.
