Re: Internet Coverage off East Coast Queensland (Islands)

If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to Telstra, check out Boost mobile. Uses the Telstra network, but at a much cheaper price.

Re: Waterproof (submersible) connector for bilge level switch

Re: I'm running a 12v bilge pump on a 24v system

I'm assuming the 24v is supplied by 2 x 12v or 4 x 6v batteries.
What I would do is run cabling to one 12v battery and just connect the 12v pump directly to the one battery.
