    Default Ok, not getting to fish cuz


    my water pump that I just got replaced failed they didnt replace one little sleeve and that is the one that is not letting it pump full potential and getting air. got one ordered will be here thursday. so in the mean time I have built me a couple of little gadgets, one I saw a picture of on feelay's boat and the other one I dont remember where I saw this to give me the idea.

    first one is from feelay setup, got tired of straining eyes and having to bend down to change display on FF :

    Maachu, I think olblue posted some pics of a support like that. Looks like it will get the job done. What did you use for finder pole?

    I picked up some round pipe we had laying around at work and welded me a base on that I had drill holes in. attached it to my boat with rivnuts (Torch told me bout them)

    That's pretty cool Macchu!!!! Sorry to hear about your water pump. Had a similar thing happen to mine last year. Only they used a torn gasket from the original pump when they reassembled it. Wouldn't pump water worth a darn. I ordered a new water pump kit and replaced it myself. That's how I found the bad gasket! Works great now!!!

    That's pretty sharp right there man. I WAS gonna mount somethinng like that on mine to hold the Terrova BUT when I installed it, I noticed just how close to my Add-a-seats it was. HUMMM, got me to thinking, yeh, scarey I know. I have a 2 foot long, 3/4 inch thick Bungee cord and I wrapped it TIGHT around the add a seat bars. Suckers secure as all get out.
