How long will it be before someone comes along and tells you that you need a chain guard on that thing? If it's in view of the public I bet it won't be long. It's amazing that any of us survived out childhood during the '50s, according to all the current safety regs we all should have been cut to pieces by the age of

Now that you have that neat electric lift it's moot, but before, when you had to do the 45 turns, way didn't you just leave the boat in the water? Bob

That wouldn't be "Minnesota Nice" any more than telling me to make my mechanism safe for fools who would trespass on my dock and try to operate it. That ain't how things work in these parts. Folks don't mess with other people's stuff.

Beauty job! I'll have to send pix of my boat davit that I built on Lake Erie 20 some years ago. I painted it with Rustolium fish-oil primer and Emron. I can't believe the paint is still flawless.

Yellow is ok if one wants - suspect it is a proto-type model being readied for finals.
I noticed the power - flying in the air - bound to be a power spec issue... :-)

The motor is yellow because that's how I found it. Finals? Stuff I build is "final" when it works, at least until there's some reason to change something. I rarely build more than 1 of anything, certainly never two or more exactly alike. Tom, if I ever need to paint the motor, IT WILL BE PURPLE!!!
12 volt power. JR North mentioned split loom. Good idea: there's now some of that in the "next trip to the lake" pile. The leads are twisted, but split loom would be better.------- "Make no mistake, we're put on Earth to fart around." Kurt Vonnegut, "Mindquake"

Cheeessssshhhh, I can't believe after spraying Emron, that *you're* still flawless.... :) That was (could be) some nasty stuff (but I guess there's worse out there today). Ken.
