The truck I drive has a Narva 20'' bar on it and I'm more that happy with the performance of it. The tricky part is positioning the beam for maximum performance.

Get some chalk.

When the chalk absorbs the moisture, you just pull it out and put into the sun to dry out and reuse over and over. :idea: :D

Re: Marine battery as a starting battery?

I don't have one as a cranking battery, I use it for my second battery for fridge and everything else.

Where I purchased it from, they said it was the equivalent to a 100ah but with a better cranking strength. (NZ70) From memory it is 650cc.

It is Century one purchased directly from them.

I can't help you with getting it going on gas, but I take mine to a bloke at Strathpine/Lawnton.
You turn right at Bob Janes then take the first on the left and he is up there on the left about 100mtrs.
Cost me $150 last time I had my Chestcold servied. (brown model)
