Hey guys, had a good run out to the 36's a beautiful morning, dropped the pillys down for a handful of squire, all undersize. Call was made to bring out the lures and we set off for the 50s with a couple of laser pros and the jet heads on the top. Didn't turn a reel on the way out. Got to the 50's then that nasty beep started we all dread. Engine was overheating and no water pumping. Checked out the water inlet no blockages, let it cool down and tried again it started but no telltale and nasty rattly noises. Made the call to VMR Southport and they organised a tow in. Thanks again guys.
Had a visitor while we were waiting, a big tiger shark 2-3 mtrs made a few laps around us fin out of the water about 50 mtrs away, then one of the boys put his hands over the side and splashed around a bit within 2-3 seconds the shark was cruising under the transom from the opposite side of the boat. Were pretty happy we didn't go for that quick dip to cool off.
