Sunovabeach 46 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I have been trying to find GPS coordinates for some of the popular boat ramps such as Wallaroo, West Beach, Pt Hughes, ect but cannot locate them. Harder to find than spot x. Would anyone have any? Thanks Sunova Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest dabilda Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I've got quite a few in my GPS, if I get time after work tomorrow I'll post them. Most Metro & Yorkes ramps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger 48 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Just a tip (and I hope this doesn't sound like I'm telling you how to suck eggs) but instead of marking the ramp co-ords, head out a coupla hundred metres and mark that spot as the ramp. This way, if ever you're called to come back in the dark you hit your mark well before land, but still close enough to be able to see the ramp well. This will save you ever hitting a marina rockwall or any other structure whilst coming back in the dark at full tilt. Once you hit your mark you'll power off, and ya should be close enough to clearly see the entrance to the marina/harbour/ramp/etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now that sounds the thing to do."This will save you ever hitting a marina rockwall or any other structure whilst coming back in the dark at full tilt.
