    Trailer brake surge wires

    Can anyone tell me if it is okay to use Stainless halyard wire instead of gal-steel wire on my trailer brakes? I ask because there's no doubt that the two different steels have different stretch/bending properties (the 2.5mm wire goes around a 30mm pulley at the nose of the draw bar.) I'd hate...

    Best tow speed for waterskiing?

    My little brother has just arrived from the UK so we decided to take him out on the boat for a spot of water-skiing. He’s tried before and got up but looked terrible… almost bent over double with his arms bouncing (from the waves/wash crossings) straight out in front (he listened to the “keep...

    Tilt support struts

    Apologies if this topic has been answered before... I did a search which didn't come up with anything so here goes.<br /><br />I normally just use the swing over lock on my FT60B to hold the motor in the tilted up position.

    It's been 42 degrees C

    Thank goodness! Here in way too sunny Sydney we've just had a storm (known here as a Southerly Buster) and the temperature has dropped to a very pleasant 25 degrees. Even better, it's looking good for the weekend... we're buying up for the BBQ and getting those rods and 'skis out!
