Thanks for the kind words chaps, Rory I was getting that sort of consumption initially, vehicle now on around 18000kms so perhaps its loosened up? Also I do have the Unichip installed so not sure if that makes a difference in consumption. I typically tow in 4th, when I get to a straight or slight downhill I put it in 5th, this seems to greatly reduce improve the consumption figures over a trip?

Thanks Bwana , Paulo, Pedro.

 Pedro all worked very nicely, very happy with the modifications to outrigger bases ( a lot easier now to set the angle). The rear rocket launchers/ rod holders on the roll bar (similar to the yeld ones)  worked amazingly, the only issue I had with them is that at full strike when the one marling hit it moved the rocket launcher as the bracket had not been tightened enough. Even with bill on I could easily remove the rod from the rocket launcher/rod holder. The position of the rod tip in comparison to the tag lines (one in rollbar rocket launcher) gives me about a metre dropback which  seemed to work well as that is the rod I caught the blue on.

Great report and well done on the fish.
A bad days fishing is better than sitting at home moping.
