    Horses for courses, I have a basic understanding of how the magic pixies get from the key to the spark plug or the battery to the sounder but finding a fault I could probably do maybe if I am lucky but generally would rather get the experts in and know its sorted.

    Just a net set in the middle of nowhere in front of rabbit on a hunch....they pay off at times hunches.
    I will warn you tho I went out rod fishing at the earliest opportunity after that(which was also after a heavy rain event) and caught spiky dog after spiky dog with the only variance being one slimy red cod.
    In my experience Snapper do not like heavy rain events for in close shallow fishing around any of the estuarys.

    Similar fuel economy with my motor 1.6km / l (best case senario) trolling cripples me though as my OB is a older triple carb'ed Yamaha SWS 2 stroke,
    However the cost of fuel pales in comparison to recent vet bills

    I am about the same fuel burn with a underpowered 40hp two stroke but at 17-19knt and pushing a much much smaller boat.
    Never buy a package boat with the minimum spec outboard....more power= more economical and more better in almost every case of trailerboats.

    That is an interesting way of looking at it.....is that whole or recovered weight and for yourself or all on board quota?
