Got the JURY RIGGED Trolling plate put on the Bay boat yesterday

and it looks good. Wifes Computer is down so no pics YET. Can't download them. I took 2 of the 12" x 15" white cutter boards that were 1/4" each and glued them together. Once I did that, I marked them, cut out the pattern I had on them and using 1/4 inch bolts and huge washers, I bolted them on the Happy trollers aluminum deflector plate. I used 7 bolts so it ain't going no here for sure. After I got done painting them, it actually looks good. Now today will be the test, it SHOULD hold up real good

are you ready for today?

got the poles out and took the BUCKETS out of the boat thank goodness. Got tired of toting those things around. I figure the plate will get us down to about 1.2 to 1.3 while idleing. I'll get outta here bout 4:40 and should be at the ramp shortly after 5, traffic depending of course. OH, wait til you see my NEW cup, it's red, not green thought but holds a 1/2 gallon of my special mix hehe

I"m Driving!!!

But Ossifer Mitchell, I's can drives

Till we have pics "IT DIDNT HAPPEN"

Sat I will be hanging on to tight to take a pic of him driving. After we stop I will take a pic of my facial expressions and that should say enough about that part of the trip. As far as his jury rigging goes, I will leave that up to him.

WHAT???? No Duct Tape????

Looks like SUPER GLUE to me!

Looks kinda professional if'n I do's say so myself. Now if Triton starts giving me grief, I'll just chunk him overboard out in the middle of the lake. Either there or just in front of the intake to the spillway!!!:D

Epoxy resin this time

You did mount it right side up?

It wasn't a transducer so I'm good to go

DD, with you anything FUNKY is not only possible but probable

I'll let you take a look at her and see what ya think this afternoon. DON'T let me forget to put a cotter pin in that one arm on it. I noticed that it fell out last night but didn't feel like digging around for a pin. It's on the arm that lets the plate up and down

UH OH BOYS! We are already talking about missing parts. If'n ya'll don't here from me in the morning call the Rez authorities.
