My love of fishing and diving started when I was just a kid. I can clearly remember my first night fishing mission off Long Bay Beach when I was 13. A friend and I lugged all our fishing and sleeping gear around the rocks, threw out some lines and hoped for the best. Not even the lack of comfort or freezing temperature dissuaded me. I was hooked. 23/11/2020
Buying a new outboard? Check out our tips. If you’re looking to re-power your boat with a new outboard, there’s plenty to consider from outboard type to horsepower, shaft length, warranty and ongoing servicing. While some of these decisions come down to personal preference, the size and make of your boat will also dictate things like maximum horsepower and shaft size.
However, people often forget to consider how and where you boat, which can have a big impact on your boating enjoyment.  More stern lift, improved stability, handling and fuel efficiency sounds amazing right? It is, and outboard hydrofoils like Permatrim can deliver that on the right boat and motor set-up.

Propellers drive boat performance Finding the right propeller for your outboard can significantly impact your boat’s performance and your boating enjoyment. If your propeller is too big or too small (in pitch and diameter) you’ll be frustrated by either sluggish acceleration or low top-end speed. The wrong size propeller can also cause wear and tear on your engine.
 If you’re in the market for a second-hand powerboat or outboard only, it’s a good idea to arrange a pre-purchase inspection from a qualified mechanic. But before you do, there are some checks you can do first.
 One of the most common repair jobs we’ve encountered this summer are burnt out water pump impellers. In many of cases I believe this can be easily avoided, as faulty ear muffs are a major contributor.
