Re: IP camaras I have a Foscam that points out the front window of a cabin we have up in the mountains. They are nice easy to use cameras for how little they cost. Here is a snapshot from it.

Re: My gosh, now I know why folks who DON'T live in CA. can afford fun stuff!

Putting a downrigger on my pontoon boat for freshwater fishing. Will be trolling for rainbows and some get pretty small so wondering what is the best release that will work with small fish.

Re: volume control I did an excel spread sheet and plotted the percent difference between an 8 ohm L-pad driving 4 or 8 ohm speakers and it shows a dip in the center but the ends are pretty close. Looked at Sam's plot and it jives with his. Did you wire it correctly? It will do very strange...

I promised that I would post some of the steps I did to make my pontoon cover so here goes. This is what the old cover looked like. I believe it is the Dowco cover that SunTracker charges over $800 for. Not impressed with the material or how it was constructed for that price. First thing to...

Re: what is the knack in putting the stern drive back on? Of course the manual says otherwise! :facepalm: Step 17. Doing it in gear can bend the shift rod. There drives are already temperamental with their shift adjustments. Bending the vertical shift rod will do you no favors. Step #21 is...

Thinking about adding a downrigger to the pontoon. Anyone do this and have suggestions for mounts, either home made or purchased?

Re: SOCHI Olympics anyone? Up in Big Bear we do. Going tomorrow! Of course it might be close to 70? so there may be some water skiing going on instead of snow skiing. This is 2 hours away from where I live(Los Angeles) at my GF's cabin. This was 2 weeks ago.

Re: pontoon cover The problem with adding snaps is that these covers extend a lot farther than where you really want it to snap on. You then have to shorten it and then sew reinforcing material where the snaps are going to go. I sew webbing and finish the edge with binding and then add my snaps.

Re: questions about covers and bimini tops fabrics I used Sunbrella binding, bias cut so it is easier to go around bends although I didn't really have too many tight bends on this cover. I just used polyester V92 thread. I didn't have my SolarFix thread yet. Sunbrella beige 60" I use 1". This...

Re: questions about covers and bimini tops fabrics Here is the cover I just finished(well 99% finished). Will be taking a better picture soon with no shadows in it. First pontoon cover I have ever done. Was going to be over $1200 if I had it done. I spent around $500 in materials. Have some...

Re: how to check the windings on a three phase motor? Does it actually say 3 phase on the pump? You sure this isn't just a 3 wire pump? Not 3 phase? Red,black and yellow go to a motor control, green is ground for a 3 wire pump. Have a picture of the pump's label? This is typical for the...

Re: Fitting GPS Plotter Here is a picture of how I have mine using a RAM mount. Perfect viewing angle so my dog can also see :) Here is another. I can take a better picture if you need it.

Re: triple square bit ????? You can use a 1/2" hex bit and it will work fine. Even the manual says to use that.

Re: Can't a man have lunch in peace ! These are my Jack Russell Terrorists. Leave food on the table and leave the room and it's your own darn fault. They are 7 years old and can still jump like crazy.

Re: Trailer Lights So, normally I wouldn't do this but since you are such a nice guy(sarcasm), I set up a little demo. Picture #1. 12v battery connected to bulb through my multimeter measuring current Picture #2 Dropping resistor 1.25 ohms( 2 each 2.5 ohm power resistors in parallel) Picture...
