Free mechanical Check

 Not sure if everyone has seen this already but thought it was worth a mention.

Skippers are being urged to take advantage of a new Department of Transport marine safety initiative offering free mechanical checks of vessels, trailers and safety gear to reduce breakdowns the summer boating season.

As part of the BEST Check campaign, qualified mechanics and education officers would undertake the recommended 45 point annual vessel, trailer and equipment check and answer questions about maintenance free of charge.

The free checks are education opportunities for the boating community and officers will be on hand to share safe boating tips and answer questions about current rules and requirements.

Marine Safety free BEST Check guides and other safety publications will be available at each event.

Skippers wanting to take advantage of the free checks can do so at the following locations:

 Outrageous $8.20 for Woodies  , in accepting that  obviously inspection on a single axle will mean less there time there than a tandem so will I still be subject to paying the full $8.20 ?. Also is there clarification whether it's a mechanical check fee or a maintenance check fee ? and what about GST is that inclusive ?

Not sure about the details, all I know is that the State Govt are providing the service using taxpayer funds and one of the two local councils has taken it upon themselves to add their own surcharge on top whilst the other isn't
