Re: transducer mount
I've found Sikaflex 291 works quite well on polyethylene. I first clean the surface with acetone, then rough up the surface of the hull with 60grit sandpaper. If you use enough sealant in a large enough "dollop" push the transducer into it slowly while rocking gently, making sure it stays ...

New Stealth Fusion 480
Been watching the development of this new line from Stealth, who have always made Fibreglass kayaks.

New Reef launched off Frankston
So with the wild weather it appears a chunk of Frankston Pier was ripped off and floated a few 100 meters .

Another good reason to have a PLB, phone in waterproof pouch & VHF Handheld attached to your pfd.

Re: Lights for snapper season
Also keep a good floating waterproof torch that you can have next to you. I keep mine on a lanyard attached to my seat.
I always use a light until there's plenty of daylight or I'm on dry ground (not run aground )

Re: 2018/19 Remodelled PA

Apparently another bloke in a F250 towing some quad bikes went into the back of the PA travelling around 65Kmh.
