Radar scanner cable= list 30 bucks a meter. ''Free'' diver/ scrounger cost = trade for a DVD of Blue Water Hunters.

Welcome Soren,
great to have you mate. Do you know Anders from Norway?Fantastic pictures, very nice fish. I have never dove in water that cold, just fell through the ice once skating.
Some day I hope I get the balls to try it.All the best, Don

My used JRC radar unit never had a power cord or plugs but was priced right. I sourced the correct pin connectors from a great resource called Digikey.Com and the ordered parts were on my door step the next day from Falls river Mi. Today I procured a meter of shielded cable with the correct color code for power and NMEA data transfer. The rest of the day will be soldering the 17 connections before a movie with the GF and boy.
Cheers, Don

I had to come back and see the big STOKED grin again, would love to here more about the black and how he acted and how big was that light blue eye?
Cheers, Don

Rain on the way but finished a few bits before covering.
Zinc chromate painted (2 coats) the inside on the aluminum motor plates.
Found a spot for the 10 GPM Guzzler hand pump. I have a 1'' area below the large scupper ports that will hold water and don't want to get my Ugg boots wet at night. Decided not to use a electric bilge pump for this...less Goat-F... from a dry pump or battery drain.Cheers, Don

for what is the aluminium barrel in the gun?better charging?
I home sick today, so I'll give it a shot.
Yes you are correct, it's a band elongating lever, compounding (increasing the band elongation).
Woodguy's is much more refined and eloquent than the one found on my prototype compound roller from the
early 50's. The band anchor point on this one is adjustable for adding or subtracting power.Cheers, Don

Hey Don, this is a great project.
Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
TraceThank you trace, this protect has developed ''mission creep'' (The tendency for a task, esp a military operation, to become unintentionally wider in scope than its initial objectives) for sure.;)

Nice going guys.

Excuse the birds nest, tie wraps, loom sheathing and clamps later this week. All systems wired except the Radar
and solar panel and remaining gauges.The gray and orange wire are unused spares. The white box is the battery charge controller for the solar panel.The + and - bus bars will get protective boots.
The week plan is to complete the radar arch and mod the trailer to fit the boat, later moving both in the garage
for floor work and setting the motor, console, and trim tabs.Cheers, Don

Yeah Baby.
Yellowtail will love this... -
Dan are you taking any pre order deposits on these? (140cm).

I don't know how much damage it will do to a white shark, but I'll wager it will at least scare it off and make it think twice about approaching divers again. Get yours if you haven't already Speardiver Quick Slip-on Powerhead
The best thing about having these in a ''special pocket'' is it gives you a wee bit of mental diversion if you have time to mount it and take on a defensive position, swimming into the shark eye to eye for shot placement. Just this act alone may send a message to the shark to swim a wider path or stalk another food stimuli. Walk a dark street carrying a large frame concealed hand gun with the hammer on the first click and make eye contact with a potential mugger, a un-drunk pro will keep walking and find a new victim as they can sense something is not right.
In the event that you detonate one on the gills, eye,or lateral line, the attacking/stalking shark will know you are not their normal prey for a few minutes, during this time you can get to the boat or out of the ''path of progress' sharkwise.
I and a few other blue water divers I know carry large caliber PCD devices that slip over the spearhead.
I have carried Dan's the last few years and no longer make my own.Like a hand gun, I dread the day I will rely on one, but love coming home to family.Yes, regrettably I have powerheaded two sharks in 30 years, one tiger in French Poly and one large bull in the Sea of Cortez,both were drawn to bleeding/fighting fish on a dropoff. I don't know if the sharks died or healed. Sorry for that:( but I'm still here and would do it again if one was within 8 feet and the pecks were down.
Cheers, Don

Arrows shot from bows have no track....just the correct spline cycle for the wt. of the bow. The arrow bends around the bow before going into true flight.
