Looks like a great rig trumpeter,should be alot of fun and freedom to move around

It will be great fun drifting for a nice feed of flatties as well from that little beauty hornet :thumbsup:

My first boat was a 420 Dory and it was a ripper. Such a sturdy package. It was good in PPB, Westernport and Port Welshpool as well as Bemm River and Lake Tyers. Enjoy. You will find some additional rod racks helpful as I always found them underfoot when under way.

A battery that size will run the fish finder for a few days which is handy if you...

In my 5.6mt trailecraft the floor is sealed and I have a access port behind the motor to stick a hose I have attached to bilge pump and I just attach it to the battery if i need it.

Thx for the input guys, I'll total up the voltages of what I use now and in a worse case scenario running nav lights and bilge pump till it's flat. By the way with the full sealed floor I'm fitting there's no way to bucket any water under the floor, so because of this I'm also fitting a manual hand...

Gday Hornet as you said your motor is pull start so you won’t be concerned about CCA. Work out the total current consumption of all accessories then get a battery with enough Ah to cover you for the duration of the trip without completely depleting the battery. That’s a very basic description I’ll h...
