Looking at heading out to 9 mile reef in a couple of weeks. First trip outside & was wondering if anyone knows of a place to hire an epirb for the trip ? Don't want to buy one just yet in case I don't like going offshore. Cheers

You can't hire Epirbs as they have to be registered under the vessels name and the users details stored with AMSA

Cheers , I'll have to buy one
Suggest you head offshore in another boat first then.

Maturity is not when we start speaking BIG things,it is when we start understanding small things
If this is your first time offshore, I would be very careful about crossing Tweed bar with no experience of bar crossings or knowledge of the bar.
A mate is coming out who crosses the bar a couple times a week to guide me through it . Cheers
Mate it went off over the weekend......if i wasnt working tonight id be out there tomorrow morning...
Hey bloke.
you can grab my epirb if you need. Send me a PM.
Cheers

Tuna and spanards...
Mate an Epirb would be a great investment, just might save yours and your family/friends lives, wether your off shore up a creek, out bush camping, huting whatever. I wouldn't loan one either I'm sure this would just complicate things for the rescue crews.
Happy fishn,
so who gets to pay the fine... you or him

So you don't need the EPIRB anymore because your mate has one?
just back on track if I may, Palmy was the place to be this morning....
Thanks for the offer but I don't want to wear a fine . My mate does have one but I'm taking my boat out not his so can't use his one. Heading into bcf tomorrow night to pick one up , thanks for the help
