members aluminum boats!!

Jac Nice boat, Any chance of taking a pic of the rod holders above the window on the stbd side. Was wondering what you used. Looks like a good idea to get the gear off of the deck. Thanks

The pics are not great but I use the rapala rod wraps and tie to my hand rails works well

Working on rocket launchers but I got a electrical burn from a 12volt battery of all things and working one handed is slowing me down! Be very careful when you grab a wire that is touch the red and black side at the same time 900 amps wow that's hot!! Haha

That right there is the reason I've never worn my wedding ring or a metal watch band in the 30+ years I've been a mechanic. OUCH !!!!

Thanks for the pics Jac of the rod holder. The ones of your hands though, holy crap! Only time I want to see grill marks like that is on a nice steak or fish fillet.

Only other time I saw something like that was at sea on a destroyer and an electrician decided that adjusting an energized 440 panel with a large screwdriver was a good idea. The ship rolled and he crossed a couple of contacts and it threw him about 20' across the machinery control room. The current went up his arm and blew a small chunk out near his elbow. He lived to tell about it but the smell of burning flesh early in the morning ruined breakfast for a few.
