Nice! Big GT and bet he kept you working for a while. The mackerel woulda been fun to at 1.2m! Only ever hooked one gt off Fraser is. Many years back. Big bugga but can't recall details. I've also got a 4.2 Quinny with 40 mariner. I've actually downsized from a bigger glass boat as I was...

Good onya Aaron. I'm jealous. What an awesome place to be living and working. And the Fishings not bad either. My younger bro was up there for a few years flying passengers in and out. It's a top spot. Be keen to see some pics of your boat and your catches sometime. And I guess the weathers...

Plankosaurus PM sent. Thanks bods and nuckin futs. Gonna try and score one from plank. If it's not suitable I'll check out your suggestions. Thanks heaps for input.

I've just discovered my air conditioner compressor is not turning. Qd32. That's why previous owner did not have belt on it. He told me belt was squealing so he took it off. I bet it was squealing! Does anyone know if this is a fatal failure of air con compressor or something that a capable...

Ok. Shoulda looked first. Answered my own question. 200a circuit breakers a dime a dozen on fleabay. Just never looked for em before.

But how are you going to protect a circuit with your hypothetical 3000w load drawing 200+amps? Circuit breakers? Or a fusible link of some kind? Or a 'slow blow' fuse??? Haven't researched yet but those size fuses wouldn't be common would they?

Yep reading you load and clear on cable size and fusing. Thanks for your input.

A couple of friendly visitors. Duke dog thought they were swimming k9's with their big eyes, wet noses and whiskers. He was wagin his tail and wanting to jump in an play with them!!

See if this works. This is a spot known as 'Kangaroo Island Lookout'. On a clear day you can see KI REALY well from here. We get down here a bit for some fishing, snorkelling and swimming.

Yeah they're gone! They were up last night???? I'll try again. Bugga!!

Thanks guys. Yeah Yorkes is an awesome bit of the country. I'm lucky enuf to live there and even though I've been here since I was a wee nipper, I still see things that make me appreciate it! By the way, is anyone else having problems viewing the first two images or is it just me now all of a...

Here's a few pics from the beautiful yorke peninsula in sa. I promise - no navaras in any of these!! All on iphone and post process in photogenie.

I've been reading all about advantages of fitting an 80 series airbox to the nav. I've got a 97 qd32. I've been offered a 75 series airbox with round outlet but haven't seen it and seller claims it's basically the same as the 80 series. Anyone know if this will work? $50.

So with all that, could I not have a couple of smaller (cheaper) inverter units matched more closely to the individual appliances they are to run? I actually have a couple of older (not sine wave) ones kicking around. I think they're 150w and a 300w?? A 300 watt jobby running a 200 watt light...

Hey Blake. G'day. I'm new too. Have a look at my thread here and there's some suggestions on uploading photos from one of the more knowledgeable members. I got it sorted and believe me, if I can do it anyone can. Look forward to seeing your nav. And though I've only been here a few days I guess...
