Piddlin" with my winter boat project ----pics

[Cane Pole]

I like piddlin'. Helps me thru the stress of winter.



This is how I build projects. I build a "mock up" and test as I add functions to the project.

This project is to automatically deploy/stow my transducer using Rickie's da ducer apparatus. Hopefully, it will keep me from falling off my boat. I have came close to falling in the water a couple of times from deploying/storing the transducer.

This "mock up" helps eliminate mechanical and electrical discrepancies prior to building a functional model. Hopefully, I will have all the "bugs" worked out before building a functional model.

Click on the box to view how it works.



Da ducer is way out there on the skinny part of the front pontoon tube. I hang on to the pole holders when deploying/stowing the transducer.

I'm just waitin' on Tom to fix up a full size Clyde robot to run the boat & all the goodies on it, while he sits in the shade of the boat dock & runs everything by laptop

I can just imagine the face on anyone that pulls up next to his boat and tries to start a conversation
