Again unfortunate about the engine issues, how does this situation look, short term fix or long term?
Cheers

Hi Andy ,
Combination of poor quality fuel in those remote areas of Indonesia and modern 4 stroke outboard motors just don't mix well , in East Borneo those mining companies went back to the old carburated 2 stroke outboard engines after experiencing massive number of failures on their 4 stroke outboard motors .

Hi Jon,
I hear you on the fuel issue, just actually getting the fuel is also a big matter in those parts, one really has to plan ahead there as you know, fuel supplies are distributed on a daily quota basis, or so it seemed. Even the poor old 40HP 2 strokes we used last time were struggling with it.
Adrian Wong:
Superb catches! Wish I could visit them(GTs) soon...
Anyway Chris, help to advise where exactly is Salpa Island? Near Bali? When is best to fish there?
Many thanks,
Adrian ;)
