No idea, but think it should be easy to test. Although doing it with earmuffs might not provide enough water/pressure.

Good point about the muffs. I'll be sure to use a barrel for testing.

My buddy came over this evening and got the steering hooked up again. Next step for me is to get the boat out of the garage so that I can get it cleaned and cleared. I'm going to trash a bunch, donate a bunch, then get everything organized.

The boat will sit in the yard covered while I get that done. I can only do a little at a time in the mornings.

Meanwhile I'll also breadbord and test the siren setup in the cool of the house.

My favorite lakes are down so much that the ramps are closed anyway. This Extreme drought is getting old. UGH. :cautious:

And I'm back to work on the boat again. :sneaky:

Health issues knocked me on my butt (literally) again earlier this month. 🤕

We lost a vacation as a result. But, I'm doing better now. 🤪

I started cleaning the boat this morning, then found that the glovebox appeared to be broken. But when I took a closer look, it was simply not reassembled after being painted. I'd saved the parts in a used aspirin bottle and marked it as such. Cleaned it up, got the parts and tools, put it back together and it's now remounted.

That's one more step to hit the water. My wife is burning her vacation time now, so I'd like to get the boat back on the water so we can at least have fun with that even though we had to cancel our trip.

Anyway, here's my first step.

Side note, i tripped over myself a couple three nights ago in the garage and am no nursing what appears to be a cracked (back) rib so i'm not doing much of anything for a few weeks...
