Oh I probably have on occasion-just my way of ending a pleasant bit of banter!! LOLOn a serious note, that was meant totally tongue in cheek. I wasn't intending to accuse you of actually doing that, so I apologize if it came across that way.
On a boat camping trip, I used the boast's 12V socket to power a small compressor to inflate an air mattress. It took over 10 minutes. When I unplugged, I found the compressor's plug was too hot to touch. I put it down to wire sized too small/long run from battery in stern to socket on dash. Occurred to me that my downriggers are wired with 10 AWG through 30A fuses. I made a short pigtail connector with a Scotty male plug, 2 ft of 10 AWG wire and a 12V socket on the other end. Compressor runs fine and no more near-fire scenarios.
I already have two pumps, one auto and one manual, but a high capacity emergency pump with a Scotty plug ready to go sounds like a good idea.That's a great idea. Also could be used in a disaster situation for an emergency bilge pump power socket. I used to carry a spare pump wired to a cigarette socket for that purpose. Better to not have to run it to the dash.
I would think that if you had a piece of flexible surgical tubing attached to the pee hole spigot and from there you ran it to a bucket with a row of holes drilled along the top and mounted that on the outside of the transom, you would achieve the result you are looking for. The bucket would fill up to the holes and then just run warm water over the stern of your boat. It would constantly refresh the water and keep it at the same temp as the thermostat.So what is the best way to capture the warm water out of a kicker ??? It would have to be flexible to handle the turning radius and redirect back into a well or bucket??? I think its a great idea if it can be done easily. How about a Merc Pro Kicker??? Suggestions ??
Especially a wet one. You my friend are twisted. I like it.A great tip for steelhead fishing or salmon fishing from the beach....
Dont fart in your waders.
When you catch a fish, and it is lying on deck, don't touch it during a hot bite. Or if you do touch it, wash the slime off your hands and dry them before you grab the rod no matter how hard it is pounding with a new fish. Lost my favourite set up overboard this year. Old school Shimano 4000 on a technium and the fish, lure, and flasher swam away. Dumb move.
Evinrude etec owners have a new pisser hole attachment. Quick disconnect with pressure reducing so you don't over pressure your cooling system when you flush your motor. The brake flush also have quick disconnect as well as the ear muffs for the kicker. Makes the flushing just little quicker and easier.
