funny how no-one gave a flying bat poo about being mindful of keeping loose items secured prior to it becoming a law. Now it's a law all these do gooders jump and down and say it must be done blah blah. we have all gone mad.

Si, it's actually been law since 2004 i think. ATM the rumor mill has primed it into headlines.

Just wondering how its easier to see a fluro flag than a shiny stainless steel prop

[shauno555]

I was just reading those rules and tips on load restraints, flag on motor, OK but then it asks that at night you must secure reflectors to it too.
I don't know who the person is thats driving behind me without their lights on that I need to put a reflector on my boat motor too!! AT 3 IN THE MORNING!! I guess its just all those pissed drink drivers on the way home from the pub.
