Heading to Cora Bay this weekend and takign the rig. I was just told that the water is so awful, that it's advised to not wash your gear or boat in it....

 100 %- we go every year for 3 weeks.. NEVER flush your motor especially..3 weeks will not do any harm- you should be fishing regulary enough anyway..

if u have a good decky, the boat should be spotless on the way in too

Looks like it's going to be too much wind at any rate. 

Normally I fish Exxy, so this is new to me. Nothign to hide behind. What sort of breeze before you dont bother goign out wide? Sitting in a 7 meter STABI.

It’s not just wind down

It’s not just wind down there. 20 knots with low swell is doable if you just want to poke out and have a troll.

20 knots on top of a big swell I wouldn’t bother trying to push through the passage.
