Yes. Brand new straight out of the box Yellow network cable was stuffed. After a few days of the same process tried an old one we had and worked straight away.

Re: Where do you put your 12v battery?

Re: New to Kayak Fishing.

Gday caleb,
Welcome aboard. Suggest to have a good read of the safety section posts and posts on kayak rigging.

Suggest u choose another day for your first trip if venturing out on the bays. Wind conditions not likely to be suitable.

Re: Upgrading to bigger yak

Given that im most likely going to buy a secondhand one it will be one of the 3 types however i would like to know why a lot of you guys have the revo over the outback or pa? Versatility.

Re: New girl in town
