Thank you for this info, 24 volts should not be a problem, TM is 24V, but keeping it dry might be. The valves are in the bilge.

I am considering changing the cable operated livewell valves to an electric valve, using a valve for underground irrigation. This will give me only two positions, open and closed. Would this work, and are there any disadvatages to doing something like this?

Keep 'em coming! I am LOVING this!

Speak for yourself, I have Fe Mail

As garry's sig says I just devised a better idiot... When are y'all pullin up roots?

I hope dave will mention this in his next FYI! Congrads Brian, BTW it's my birthday tomorrow....

If I have a temp sensor on the Bow mount it should give me the temp info I need as i am fishing, I suppose. The 580 is going to be at the helm, while the 525 will be at the bow. Thank you for confirming what I was thinking, all of you. However the silicone idea is worth thinking about..... The question I forgot to ask was, Will it work on a ranger hull to do a throgh hull install. As I understand it, on a chopped layup, the transducer will not work, while on a handlayed hull it will. Is this true? Rangers are a chopped layup proccess when built, correct?

I am wondering if I do a through hull installation of my transducer on a 580 Hummingbird, in a Ranger 370V, will I still get accurate water temperature readings? As i understand it all ineed to do is get some wet resin and push the 'ducer into it to install it. Correct?

You may have open up a bit of grief doing that. The concern I would pose is that the well liner will rust even more than it is now and the ground (dirt) may go into your well and fill it up. As well, if that happens, there is a possibility of a sinkhole occuring. I would suggest consulting a well driller regarding this.

Do you live in St Hubert, or EAT at St Hubert????

Ya'know if you put that creativity to GOOD use.......

What a horrible fate!

Not only can you get them from shore, but Steve (Fishmaster) will give you good advice on how to fish for them as well. When y'all hook into a big kittie, it is a LOT of fun. Don't eat them over 7 pounds though....

At least we don't look down on you......

Oh look! a can of worms, let's open it!

My wife refers to those as the terrific two's. However.....

Thanks for the commiseration guys, my bro-in-law is a pilot and he has has his for ~20 years with out a problem. That is why this is so frustrating for me. I do have a contact number for B & L now, so i will call them and see what can be done.

It is the first site in your favorites that you go to and read, 'cause ya never know.... we have our own resident rednecks, one Canadian, an' one from "Bama We don't need a "stirrin' the pot" emoticon, "cause everyone knows when it is being done. The only site I know of with its' own ANTHEM, (Thanks Cliff!) One of the few sites that accepts you as you are and (usually) doesn't toss you out.

I bought a pair of Raybans 2.5 - 3 years ago,thinking that if I am going to pay over 250 dollars, I should get sonething good that will last me the rest of my life. Well,last Saturday the arm fell off. No warrantee, and replacement parts are $88.00 I went the web site, no contact information at all just selling. Not that impressed with the customer service. These were NOT abused at all, used for driving and fishing. So now I am going to have to get a new pair, they will not be Rayban. End Rant.

I think Dave Mercer works for Subway.....

That's what i was gonna say, get someone else to do it.....

If they are planted on your side of the property line, no problem, however the neighbour can trim those cedars branches up to the property line. Makes for a funny looking hedge. I say, move to the couintry where we dont have these disputes.

Or as Someone else said, "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone" Well said sir! I have yet to have a day where I have not made a mistkae.

Don't listen to his fishing advice, , but do listen to what the man has to say about your new line of work, he knows of what it is he speaks! And he's OK company as well!

Don't mess with the Ugli! Well done!
