There is a water filter within the engine housing, if that's full it won't start, I had this happen on my 150 optimax also, is the fuel fresh?

Happy birthday Pete

Well done Steve stupendous fish

Yes very well done and brave Martin. Veronica and I had a very chilly walk along evening hill at around 4pm we could very nearly have walked over to the main channel, lowest I've seen it for a while.

Same here Greg but its not the bridge giving me trouble exiting Holes Bay, I would need a big puddle to fish in as Madness is on the hard

Many happy returns Dave, Jim thinks you're full of beans 🍻
