Hi Everyone

September is nearly upon us. It’s that time of year again where it puts a spark back into boating with longer days and more sun (hopefully- we won’t go there).
I would like to start with congratulating the Ballina Marineland fishing teams with the recent
1st ,8th and 9th  placing at the Gamakatsu teams series.
Great work, well done boys! It shows that the local knowledge pays off.
New products are:
·         Fuel conditioners that treats ethanol fuels; it absorbs moisture and also inhibits corrosion. Great for fuel that has been sitting over the winter break.
·         Macs salt x an engine flushing solution to remove salt deposits from your out boards cooling system, keeping it in great condition.
·         Vuplex has been added to our stock range as a cleaning product. This is good for cleaning sounder screens and side clears on boats. For more info on this product log onto www.vuplex.com.au .
 
It’s also that time of year when you should be checking your trailer’s wheel bearings. Sitting around in the shed over the winter break does not help as water and moisture from your last fishing trip could still be sitting in there and it doesn’t take long for the bearing to fail and an embarrassing moment on the road side.

While we are on the topic of maintenance it is also worth checking winch cables, batteries, flares for used by dates and epirbs. If you currently have an inflatable life jacket the service dates should also be checked.

Just a reminder that the entry forms for the Gamakatsu fishing bonanza are on line
 Go to www.gamakatsu.com.au/ncfb for more information.
 Great prizes cash and give ways including a boat motor package supplied by Ballina Marineland for the cadet section.
 
Any questions on any of these products or information in this newsletter give us a call we are always happy to help.
 Until then, safe boating.

Regards,
THE MARINELAND TEAM

Once again thanks guys for helping the kids have a good time and the parents!!
