New Project?

Linear actuator comes from Servo City. The CNC linear rail, mount and slide bearing I ordered from Amazon (piece parts). I have a waterproof reversing switch coming from ebay. All parts are over the counter.

Putting this on my Jon boat. There Lowrance skateboard creates one heck of a rooster tail and slows the boat 2-3 mph. I just installed stick steer, so I am making it easy on myself. Don't like walking around in the Jon boat. It is only 14t and I lost my sea legs last century.

I would have never thought that a transducer would slow down a boat.

Still adding things to the Pondtoon! My 1672 is being built right now. Steve is doing some nice additions for me. They hope to have it on a truck heading north to Penna. the week of 15 Dec. Will have all winter to play in the garage and get it all rigged out. Going to put a 20HP Mercury and a 55 Power Drive V 2 Bow Mount Minn Kota on it.

I would spend the xtra monies and add a 30hp. MHO.

Ran into a actuator mounting problem. I gotta move battery forward and "stretch wires". I decided to go ahead and add a fuse block and git rid of all the inline fuses. Cleaning up my own litter box kinda. You all know the pain.
