Wake boarding :yay:
When the drives are tilted up it protects the lower unit/props along with keeping stern lines off the motors.
Some work boats have a stout triple bar cage in this area.
in the mean time I plugged some holes with G-Flex soaked hardwood dowels.
The hot blond :nono: neighbor just invited us for steak and Margarita's ...leaving the GoPro here though.;)
Man the fort.

Testing the PC hack job after downing 2 liters of Coke and a frozen pizza. (just kidding):nono: I meant a egg white omelet and virgin stomped grape juice.
I like this boat..
Cheers, Don
Dam that is a steal...If I didn't need to be in Big Bear Fri I would book it. Thanks for the heads up Joe.
Cheers, Don
Thanks for the updates. Do you use the adhesive lined heat shrink or just the normal electrician stuff?
Yes Mil Spec silicone lined stuff, all the switch posts are then sealed with what ever state of the art clear acrylic nail polish I can ''procure'' from the chicks drawer. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
I used to use Liquid Tape for this, but it makes the terminals hard to see at night should a '' Macgyver '' be called for if a switch fails at sea.
On another note...will be getting my Nerd on today looking for a connector for my two Hitachi extra storage drives. If you guys don't hear from me tonight you why.
Cheers, Don
Motor wiring loom, kill switch and Ing switch sealed with heat shrink.Boot will be sealed with 5200. Winter basebal has started for Dillon so things have slowed down, back at it in the AM.
Cheers, Don
Does the clutch work on the same principle as the Chinese finger trap? Doing the same job as a cleat on a tuna board?
Yes, but it is very controled when the drag line is wet, plus one can really recover line quickly. I can post a image in the AM. ( heading out soon). Cleats work OK with braided line but will point stress (tube) materal when they bite down on a Norprine bungie.
Cheers, Don
Glad you survived the storm, great to have you on board, I'm knockin down some very fine jambalaia right now.
Cheers, Don
.i came up with this 3-4 years ago and when a friend saw my first proto type of this in baja a couple years back he was so impressed by it he patented it as a gift .

Cheers to you Phil, Josh never had time to tell me who invented it. I have two clutchs from Josh, one on my 75'Norprine bungie linked to my tube type float line, the other on board with a back up line. I'm most likely not building my own float lines any more as Josh's quiality is as good as mine...I have baseball games to attend.;)
Cheers, Don

Wired in the kill switch, and fitted it into the housing and tested running/killing the motor before the end of summer back yard bash. Now I'm too much in the party mode to do any more work.
Cheers, Don
