G'day wayneoro,

Disappointed to hear noone offered assistance to you. It would have been obvious you needed a hand as you had taken the cowling off the motor. So much for the golden rule of the sea of offering help to a vessel in need.

I wish you luck getting your cooling system sorted out. It may need a new waterpump impeller and thermostat.

Take it easy and Merry Christmas mate,
Brad.

i was up at Woodgate over the xmas.

where abouts did you break down? i was flicking lures on the sat morning (between 5 and 10) mainly oppersite the Burrum boat ramp and up current of the woody point ramp.

i dont remember seeing anyone with the cover off there motor, if i had i would have pulled over to over a hand for sure.
