Thanks for the tip Doug, I can use all the help I can get!:smt101 I don't really plan on running them with the engine on. Just at anchor or at the dock. I might build a voltage regulator circuit should I ever decide I need to run them while under way. The LED array will be completely encased in...
Don't get me wrong I DEFINATELY see where your coming from. But on the other hand there is some satisfation to be gleaned from it when somebody asks you where you got your lights and you tell them you built them from scratch. I'm just weird that way I guess. Plus I have several buddies who want...
I thought about doing a case out of starboard, but I ordered some sample of the resin and it is plenty strong enough to be used without the case. I also thought of casting the circuit board in a larger piece of resin, that would allow room for pre-drilling attachment holes in each corner for...
Correct 3M VHB is about the strongest double sided tape you can get. It is used to basically weld two parts together and is used in many automotive applications. Also it is usually stronger than mechanical fasteners in the fact that spreads the load over the entire surface area. It can also be...
Just wanted to let you guys in on a little project I've been working on. I wanted to get some underwater transom lights for my 240SD, but the cheapest I have found are in the $200 a pair range and did not seem to have the output I was looking for. So being (somewhat) mechanically inclined I...
Good news is after a thorough inspection. No hull damage! No outdrive damage (save for some minor scratches), Speedo pitot was clogged, and the trim pump leak was just a $11 split brass fitting. Will still do an impeller inspection but it looks like I dodged a bullet!

So I screwed up and let an inexperience driver take my boat out and they ran my 03 240 SD into a sandbar in 2ft of water running about 25mph.:smt021 Now the speedo doesnt work and the power trim motor runs, but no movement by the outdrive. Looked at the trim pump and there is hydraulic fluid all...
Attorney advised us to take the new loan. but get it in writing that we will not be held to the original loan contract.
Both would be building credit yes, but I bought our last "Toy" our fifth wheel camper and we alternate back and forth. Who purchases what so that both our credits dont get...
UPDATE! Dealership just called and said they have financing arranged with BB&T. Faxing paperwork. Consulting with attorney at 2:30 to discuss options. :smt038
If I co-sign with my wife, it will get approved, but your missing the point. They agreed to the original terms in writing. They should honor what they said they would. Am I wrong?

The reason we decided to finance through them was mainly out of convenience. The terms were about average, but the main advantage was they they were willing to finance a boat more than 7 years old. I sure with a little more digging we could find a company willing to do that (BoatUS comes to...
Yes we actually had her out this weekend on lake Guntersville. Luckily the TVA and APCO have blessed us with many great lakes. Lakes Martin, Weiss, Guntersville, Logan Martin, Neely Henry, and Smith(my favorite) to name a few. Keep the smooth side down. :thumbsup:
