My new boat
Submitted by dakka on Mon, 2016-02-29 18:04
I have finally upgraded from my 4m tinnie with a 30 hP to a Fraser Western Craft 525 with a 90 hp v4 Evinrude on it. Will be able to go a bit further out now than I did in my tinnie. I'm probably going to ask a few questions so please bear with us. I have just puchased a Furuno 582l colour sounder so I have to fit that and new p66 tranny on hull. It didn't come with a mounting bracket so I am trying to source one.
1st question the gun wall is white but pretty much most of it is blackish now probs from years of berthing what do people use to clean the rubber up and hopefully get it clean again.
Cheers Darryl

Looks goodmate and I'm sure you will be enjoying many hours on the water
Can't suggest anything for your question though.
My fishing spots are so secret........... even the fish don't know where they are !!

Thanx guys
the furuno looks a bit more complicated than my lowrance so if any one gas any advice on settings don't be shy in letting me know or even if some one can come out with me and go through it once I have got it all sorted I would be most grateful cheers

Nice rig. Mate bit hard to tell from the pic but does the trailer have brakes setup. Mite be worth looking into if it doesnt for legal reasons.

Without brakes max weight is
Without brakes max weight is 750kg and im guessing that that setup would be close to 1 tonne so would prob need a braked axle

Yeah as Roddo said anything
Yeah as Roddo said anything over 750kg needs mechanical brakes. for insurance and legal reasons if there was an accident invollving your trailer like it is there could would be issues. If your mechanical minded its not a hard or expensive fix.
