cockburn sound

 well after all of your help, we went out at about 3 yesterday. unfortunatley, the sounder didnt start so we thought we would have to do it the old school way. then our day went bad to worse, at about 4 the engine stopped but luckily it started up again. about five minutes after that. the motor completley stopped and we lost all power. we tried to fix it but it wouldnt start. we had full petrol full oil and the batery was fully charged. does anyone know what would cause this?

anyway we started up the little 15 hp yamaha and headed home, we stopped near point peron for a quick drift, we got a few nice squid, biggest had a 31cm hood, we got about a dozen sand whiting, and a little 47cm snapper which was released, i was fishing with a small paternoster rig with little pieces of mulies, which surprised me that i got a snapper on it. so after all it wasnt such a bad day apart from the motor stopping.

Also on friday were going to Albany for a week, does anyone have any land based reports from there. and are there any salmon still around there?

cheers vinnie

and I'd be heading straight to the fuses then looking for a
wire or wires that could be shorting or touching each other.
Maybe saltwater has got in somewhere.
