Daz's sneaky maccy
Me and Daz snuck in a very sneaky late arvo sess yesterday on the big rig. Only just got a chance to post.
I spend most of the day tracking down an electrical gremlin that has resulted in several failures of pretty expensive gear and many frustrating hours trcking it down, but finally found it (loose nut on a main battery feeder into the main breaker panel........jeeze!!!). After fixing it, called Daz to see if he wanted to come for a test run for 20 minutes. He rocked up with 2 trolling outfits and a couple of lures, and it was on!
Daz got this nice maccy on very light gear.We had no knife, no gaff, no esky, no ice....well, basically we had nothing but two rods and three lures.... top stuff dude, many high fives!
I lost mine 15 minutes minutes later after it bit through the leader ahead of the wire.........
It just got better today(see Daz's post).

haha, very sneaky sesh. Even the missus thought I was simply driving down to the marina to have a beer with you. (Meanwhile, rods were placed discreetly in the ute).

Yeah FF, nice way to "test"
Yeah FF, nice way to "test" the boat!!!
I have spend countless hours and weekends tracing various electrical gremlins on the boat over the past 2 months, including replacing over $1200 worth of Empirbus control units which fried due to the loose connection......amazingly difficult to trace intermittent faults like this, as everytime you tried to trace te issue, the root problem had resolved itself......basically we had to just keep using the boat until the fault remained on long enough to trace it down.....with the amount of wiring on these new boats, it was no easy task, even though it was a pretty simple problem.
We will be giving it a few more "test" runs over the next few weeks!!!!!
