Re: Keeping Carrum a manned boat ramp

You don't remember the public consultation survey from a few years ago on what to do with the lower Patterson River precinct including Launching Way and the ramps? How most questions were geared less towards trailerable boating and fishing, and more towards a mixed use area including playgrounds, c...

Re: Keeping Carrum a manned boat ramp

Re: Boat ramp etiquette

Might want to add: the queue is the order of cars on land....not boats in the water. Regardless of whether you are launching or retrieving.

I'm sure the last thing PV want is the burden of these fairly significant infrastructure assets on their books. They have better things t...

Thread the hook through there first and then through the flesh a number of times. Makes al...

Re: Ezi guide self aligning rollers

Bowl, the other thing to consider is that the trailer has nothing to help you if you miss the rollers with the bow further up the trailer.
