Smartarse .......yer but funny..I know that creek very well and with a big tide serge where it narrows under the bridge you get very bad water turbulance, enough to really push/twist a boat around if your not expecting it.im thinking this may be the cause.

fold down outriggers and watch where your going cause its ONLY about 10m between the pylons.
"difficult to navigate"?
Hmmmmm. whatever!

spot on mate i used to live just up the rod from that ramp on clam st and it can be a bastard if you dont know what your doing. i have seen plenty of people back off the throttle there and come unstuck

Hello All,

seems like a lot of damage for a boat travelling at six knots.
