    I understand fun is fun, but I'd prefer that this thread get hijacked into a joke thread. I'd kinda like to see some serious helpful and beneficial ideas, and I think others would too. Sorry for the rant, but I run these contests for your all's benefit. I certainly could get some good use of these planer boards myself.

    Waypoint follower for any electric steer trolling motor.
    This device follows preprogrammed waypoints (routes) from the output of any gps with NMEA0183 output. It is working. I just need to tune up the PIC Micro controller program. Been too busy with the new pondtoon.

    Yaw gauge. Can't buy one so I made one from a car voltmeter. It tells the relative position of the boat motor without looking back constantly. Also made my own dash which folds out of my way when not in use.

    Ipilot/foot pedal selector.

    This box allows a person to select foot pedal or Ipilot when using the V2 with Ipilot.

    Joystick steering.

    This device is what I use to steer my new pondtoon.

    Remote fishing. Home made R/C pontoon (kinda).

    This device is fun to fish with.

    Underwater ROV.

    This corded ROV allows me to dive and surface at the control of 2 joysticks which control the motor direction on the main body.. It has a underwater camera that I can view stuff with.

    V2 autopilot modified to steer Troll Motor or the 15hp Suzuki on my Jon boat. This is where I started working (experimenting) on the joystick control for the Pondtoon.
