I bought a DJI Air 2S a couple of years ago. I had absolutely no experience flying and concerned about crashing an expensive drone. I am glad that I purchased a fairly expensive drone as it does not take allot of pilot skills to fly it. Obstacle avoidance is a big advantage. Go home feature...

Mine were glued on as well. Also, there was a piece of plywood between the step and the metal step platform. That split in a hundred pieces when prying off the steps.

If you have sufficient material surrounding the threaded hole, you might want to look at “keenserts”

Working on a swim platform insert for our 320. 3/4’ thick aluminum with black uhmw inserts for contrast. Not sure if I will have it chromed or hard coated. Machined this on a home made cnc router. It’s all about speeds, feeds, endmill choice and coolants!

340 is a sweet boat. When we were looking at boats, it was between a a 320 and 340. I choose the 320 due to the fact the 340 was a two year older boat that spent quite a bit of her past life in salt water and it showed a bit more corrosion than I wanted to deal with. A bigger boat all the...

Yup, not enough coffee yet

400,000 btu spa heater. How many gallons is the spa? Last year, we installed a 200,000 btu heater in our inground pool. The pool is approx. 200,000 gallons. Heats it up to 90 plus in no time, and we are in central Wisconsin. I assume they are doing there gas calcs based on all your...

We were on Stockton when that tragedy went down. Heartbreaking! Constant look out for kayaks. Many times all you see is a flash of there oars in the sun. Shitty weather, you don’t even see that. When they are crossing from one island to the next, that is when visibility really sucks. Add...

I made these and just installed yesterday. I need to make some grip inserts however. The wife says they are fine until she flips on her ass!

So this happened at our marina on Saturday. These folks just launched the boat on Saturday, the owner mentioned that they have not had the boat in the water for two years and they were so excited to get back to boating! They launched with out incident, took a short ride and returned to the...

Had a similar problem last year. Would only stay running if I held in the emergency start button. When released, motor died as did the smart craft display. It turned out to the be the 50 amp breaker located on the top of the engine. It would trip and reset but not pass power. Verified with a...

320

Added these. The wife mentioned than she could not rest her feet on the footrest. Actually, I wanted something higher as well. Could not find what I needed so fabbed these up. Stainless steel round tubes and aluminum side pieces. I was concerned about clearance to open the door so made that...

I did this exact thing two years ago. You will need to install a Mercury Gateway module and a NMEA backbone. Your current Vessel View unit and the Raymarine equipment will all plug into this backbone. From there it automatically connects and communicates with one another. The only issue I...
