(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best boating equipment

Before I get to the list, I'll mention that it may not seem like I'm super active, but I was away from the sub for a week or so, but if you look into my posts from before that, you'll see I'm pretty active. :)

1.) Something that is blue. - I mean, it's literally blue.

2.) Something that says summer. - What says summer better than SURFING!?

3.) Something food related that is unusual. - It's a Kit Kat. But it's GREEN TEA flavored!

4.) Something you want to gift to someone else, and tell me why. - I've been trying to get /u/quickwittedslowpoke to buy this manga because it's awesome, but she hasn't yet. I really want her to read it!

5.) A book I should read! I am an avid reader, so take your best shot and tell me why I need to read it! - Shameless shilling. My friend wrote this book and I want him to become famous! :D

6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related! - I don't really have a great reason for this, it was just on my mind because I had considered getting it as a gag gift for my uncle's birthday since his lucky number is 113 and that Pokemon is #113, but I didn't end up doing it since it wouldn't have arrived by his birthday (which already passed).

7.) Something related to dogs. - I have no idea what GSD is, sorry D:

8.) Something that is not useful, but so awesome you must have it. - It's literally just a statue. It doesn't do anything but look cute. But she's one of my favorite characters :D

9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why? - This is one of the best Anime films of all time. Even if you're not into anime, I still highly recommend it. It has won COUNTLESS awards already. It's a pretty big deal in the anime community. It's got a great plot and it's so sad that if you don't cry, you have no soul.

10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain. - Zombies can't swim. Foolproof plan. They'll eventually decay in the sun and all die within a few days, and you'll be out on your cool ass boat, safe from the chaos.

11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals. - I know it seems a little silly, but I'm trying to learn to cook better, and I just don't really have very good cooking tools...

12.) One of those pesky Add-On items. - Fun fact: I obsessively clean my ears. :I

13.) Something fandom related. - It's three fandoms in one! Super Smash Bros, Nintendo and Final Fantasy! :D

14.) Something ridiculously priced, more than $10,000. They exist, y’all. - Because it's eleven times what you asked :)

15.) Something with sharks or unicorns. - It was actually pretty decent.

16.) Something that smells wonderful. - At least I think it does. Needs lots of sugar though lol

17.) A toy that you wanted or had when you were a child that was the best ever, or (if it’s not on amazon) a toy that you think is pretty cool now - Does this count? I had the original back in the 80s/90s, and this is a new model with packed in games. But yeah, this shit was my childhood!

18.) Something that would be helpful for writers. - I mean, really, what're you gonna do with unsharpened pencils?

19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be. - The Precure anime franchise is one of my guilty pleasures, and this character, Cure Peace, is my favorite character in the series! :D

20.) Something that is just so random and weird that it makes you laugh. - Because why the fuck not?

This fence line is just shy of 90 feet and my setup works pretty well at that length. I used pretty small diameter pvc so it’s not much weight; I can’t imagine reinforcement would be needed for the watering— maybe for the vines depending. It’s not a raging torrent of water it basically is just a steady drip but it saturates pretty well when run in cycles and not run during the heat of the day.

My initial version of this setup was a single battery and small solar panel and it ran fine for a year or more (granted I’m in SoCal so we get a lot of sun)— I’ve since expanded a bit to a 4 battery setup and larger panel but just because I added two more pumps for covering other areas.

Here’s a picture of the control box of a basic single battery system with timer and a simple solar controller
https://i.imgur.com/JOfGqdp.jpg


Here’s some of the basic gear:

Water Storage
===========================

Current Water tank
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003H9WJMI/

(Although I’ve also used smaller/cheaper tanks like this for my vegetable garden, just might mean more refills depending on how often it’s run: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BFC5NIA/ )

If you’re looking to go super cheap, I honestly started my first setup with a couple modified 5 gallon plastic water bottles I stole from my office like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003B27RAA/


Power
===========================

Current solar panel for a 4 battery setup:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HFMBF3G

Previous panel for single battery system:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PFGP0EA


Solar regulator (keeps you from blowing up the battery! The smaller panel comes free with one that works fine, I just liked this one better because it had more lights!): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L37KZI6/

Batteries, one is plenty for a single pump system:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003S1RQ2S/

(obviously if you wanted to build a system on the cheap you could bypass the solar entirely and drop $20 on a second battery that you leave charging and just swap them back and forth every week or three, depending on how often/long you run the system)


Pump
===========================

Current Pump:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072BXBQGC/

Although I’ve also used cheaper ones like these for drip systems and they were fine:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07699RMVB

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WYMC492

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DLKT4OO


Misc
===========================

Timer (has like 16 stop/start memories which should be plenty for any configuration):
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0090MTLFO


If there is some interest next weekend I could draw up a complete wiring/assembly diagram and detailed parts list and make a separate post (and include all the sundries: wire, hose, clamps, filters, waterproof project box, couplings, drip heads, etc).

1. Wire wise - Amazon - look up Anchor Tinned Wire and get a 25' section of 8ga 2 wire red/black at biggest (radio, plus lights, plus accessories ) but 12ga with 2 wires should be fine for small electronics.
   
   
   Example:
   
   https://www.amazon.com/Ancor-121510-Marine-Duplex-Cables/dp/B000NUYBW0/
   
   
2. Lack of a Switch or Disconnect - don't do this. A) Danger Will Robinson ! B) is not approved by coasties/inspection most places. Get a proper battery switch. Put this switch between the battery Positive and the motor positive and your accessories positive. The ground/black from the motor, from the accessories etc can all go right to the negative terminal on the battery. We're only switching the 12+ Positive side.
   
   
   Example:
   
   
   https://www.amazon.com/Perko-8501DP-Marine-Battery-Selector/dp/B00144B6AE
   
   
   
   
   I say these things for the following reasons:
   
   
3. you'll eventually wanna sell the boat and upgrade to something bigger. When I as a buyer see things like accessory wiring going right to the battery instead of a battery switch - I use items like that to lowball the fuck out of the seller. It also says "if they did this janky to save $20, what else did they do janky" ?
   
   
   
4. Safety - you always need a way to 100% disconnect electronics. This can be because of a fire, a mystery battery drain, long term storage etc. We want a disconnect from the battery. Now that said - plugging and unplugging a quick connect/ disconnect versus a proper battery switch is a GREAT way to blow yourself up depending where the gas fumes are, where your gas tank is, etc. It's one more possible thing to corrode as well as ignite. Make sure when you do your charging etc you are careful (connect the tender first THEN plug it into the wall outlet)
   
   
   
5. Long term usage - the more correct you do it now, the more money you save in the long run making small repairs later.

no its not the same. fiberglass is porous and its different in every way..I dont see a point in using a clay bar, you will wear yourself out doing that there are much easier ways to remove as much oxidation as possible before you start.


Wash it first to make the job easier, you can use an auto soap i use the gold line? i forget the name of it but i think it is meguiars goldclass soap. If it is reall bad use your judgment and maybe a pressure washer will be best for your job.


Determine the surface you are working with and what condition it is in, just like you would a car. If it is quality gelcoat it will come back even if you have white dust coming off from oxidation.

Another option, an acid wash on the hull, this strips the wax and gives you a clean surface to work with, removes rust, stains, etc. careful not to use it on paint. and be careful using it period, read the warning label and carefully read instructions..obviously.

Auto products are meant for cars and protection from different elements on non-porous surfaces.

if it has heavy oxidation and you are ready to start buffing, i would get a good wool pad (3m perfect it) and 3M compound and finishing material. https://www.amazon.com/3M-Compound-Finishing-Material-06044/dp/B0000AZ9J0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469508075&sr=8-1&keywords=3m+compound+and+finishing+material

this is my go to if Finesse-It is not working. A lot of boat detailers use that product as a last resort because we mostly work on newer boats but honestly most boats have quality gelcoat that can handle it no problem and the results are perfect(with the compound). if you are dealing with a newer, well maintained boat try finesse it (also a 3m product) polish.


auto wax is not meant to hold up on the water, fresh water and especially not salt water. I would recommend Meguiar's Flagship paste wax, it comes off easier than fleetwax and lasts just as long. if you use these products the boat will look great all the time! I hope this makes sense, im kinda tired and i wanted to get back to you before tomorrow. if you have any questions just ask !

Woohoo!! We love, love, love the outdoors! <3

This raft is only $20 and would be a lot of fun to take with us camping (we love going to this Nat'l Park). It would be the perfect size for my Tiny Turtles to learn water and boat safety, and honestly, I'd have a blast playing around with it as well (esp. taking it down one of the many nearby rivers for something a bit more adventurous!)

Packrafts from Supai Adventure Gear are pretty commonly used by people crossing the Colorado river inside the Grand Canyon. They are cheaper and lighter (but less capable in whitewater & less durable) than Alpacka rafts, and should work fine if the place where you cross the river is calm. You'll need some cheap paddles too, of course.

For a cheaper but heavy option, I have heard of people using inflatable boats by Sevylor, like this one. The advertised weight on Amazon is ~7 pounds, compared to ~1.5-2 pounds for the Supai rafts, but they also cost a lot less.

If it were me, I think I'd make my decision based on how much other weight I needed to carry. If you're already going to have heavy packs, maybe it's worth the money to get a much lighter and more packable raft...I own the Supai Matkat raft and personally think it's pretty perfect for things like you want to do, but it's definitely not cheap.

I had a 1976 hunter 25 last year and had the same concerns you have. I went on a 10 day trip in the San Juan with my girlfriend and I picked up the hydro force Caspian. It is definitely small but I'm 6'3 about 200lbs and she is 5'2 at about 120 and we were fine even with gas cans and groceries.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CC8ZXTQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1466106166&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=hydro+force+caspian

A hard transom was important because I had a little 2 horse engine I put on it. The hydro for e was the best priced and has held up well. It rolls up compact and takes about 5 min to deploy. We usually deflated but also towed it without any trouble. With anything like this I would make sure not to leave it out too much uncovered as the UV will break down any PVC tender. Or alternatively get some 303 aerospace Protestant and apply.

Good luck!

Electric pump user here - it's super noisy, but flows great, even with the major resistance of two huge filters in the way. Admittedly, I bought pretty much the cheapest pump possible, currently $30 on amazon.

Been using it for years, works great, self priming too which is super useful.
Photo of install including filters. First is a 1 micron sediment (I think, it's been a while) and second is a carbon matrix. First gets rid of any sorta "large" gunk, second removes bad tastes, chemicals, you name it. Same material as pitcher style water filters.

Also pinging /u/dcdcd101

My suggestion would be to get a magpul (~$30ish) mount and put an Armytek in it. (Probably a partner, about 35-40ish). Eventually cheaper lights crap out on recoil, even for light recoiling guns like an AR. Try the magpul mount, as I know it works with heavy use. Alternatively, streamlight makes a mount and light combo on amazon for $60 but I can't attest to how well it works.

Ideally if you're going to buy something like this for hard use it might be worthwhile to just wait a little and save up for like a stream light protac with a more solid mount like an IWC Thorntail.

Here's a list and example found on amazon for all the major parts. I'll also include a wiring diagram at the end.

Solar Panel $169.99 - 100W Flexible & Thin

Solar Cable $18.99 - 20ft with male and female heads (cut in half for + & -)

[Charge Controller]
(https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B019QSX0CG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) $34.99 - 30A gives you room to add more panels

Battery $160 - 100Ah AGM will provide enough power depending on fridge but requires no maintenance

Fuse Panel $35 - 6 circuits with negative and cover

12V Sockets $6 - Get some of these for plugging in appliances and phones. You can buy 12V adapters for almost any electronic besides most kitchen appliances.

Pick up some 10 gauge stranded wire from your local hardware store (home depot) to wire the battery and fuse panel to the charge controller. You shouldn't need much since you want the battery as close as possible to the controller. You can buy smaller wire (16 or 18 guage) for wiring outlets/appliances to the fuse panel. 50ft of that should be fine unless you want multiple outlets on the other side of the van.

You'll also need some ATC blade fuses for your fuse panel. You can buy these at a local auto parts store pretty cheap. 15 amps should be enough than anything you'll be pulling.

To connect the wire ends to the battery and fuse panel you will need these wire terminals for the corresponding wire guages you are using. Along with these female terminals to connect to the 12V sockets. All of these can be found at your local auto parts store for cheap sometimes all together in a kit.

You'll also want a pair of wire strippers/crimper for wiring.

This is the best wiring diagram I can find. Most are so overcomplicated. This diagram does not show the fuse panel but you can see the empty slots on the far right of the charge controller where you insert the wiring for that, it's called the "load." This diagram also shows an inverter which is something I didn't go into because you will only need that if you HAVE to run a 110V appliance. I know you mentioned a kettle but maybe you could just install a gas stove in your van and use that to heat water? That's what we use :) Installing the inverter should be pretty straight forward though if you need it but remember you will waste energy going from 12v to 110v so 12v is more efficient.

Hope this can help you (and maybe others) in some way. I plan on making a more in depth version of this guide in the near future along with a video but finding the time has been difficult! Let me know any more questions you have :D

I can’t tell from the picture, is the enamel etched or not? If it’s etched it’ll take a professional restore job. If not you can try this: Holikme 14Piece Drill Brush Attachments Set, Scrub Pads & Sponge,Buffing Pads，Power Scrubber Brush with Extend Long Attachment，Car Polishing Pad Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P7NFV1F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DE2VDb4TJ78JB

I’ve also used rubbing compound with some success. This one is very good. 3M Marine Compound and Finishing Material (06044) - For Boats and RVs - 32 Ounces https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000AZ9J0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_wI2VDb4VJXRS0

Power tools will be your friend in this. Also some strong arms. Good luck.

I used to have these issues when inline speedskating and walkers taking up the entire bike path... Then I got on of these https://www.amazon.com/Shoreline-Marine-Air-Horn-1-4/dp/B01NCSJGGC that fit in my palm with ease. A simple blast was sufficient to get them to jump rather quickly out of the way. If they get in your face, it's pretty easy to just toot it again saying "what's that, I can't hear you!" ;*)

Also I got pretty good at mimicking a police siren with my voice which also clears the path pretty well.

For low light situations i think getting an attachment with an LED light on it would work, because in the previous streams the only drawback besides D/C from s8 in buildings is the low light performance.

https://www.amazon.com/AMIR-Rechargeable-Adjustable-Brightness-Smartphones/dp/B01N985HG0/ref=pd_sim_107_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01N985HG0&pd_rd_r=425SS243P73HQVMCA10Y&pd_rd_w=hqXqy&pd_rd_wg=64VDg&psc=1&refRID=425SS243P73HQVMCA10Y

it doesn't have to specifically be this product but, if it's attached to a wide angle lens and has a LED light it might be perfect unless you want him to get an LED light for the actual selfie stick. (i would much rather prefer Ice switching to the teradek system inside clubs just so the low light performance is the best it can be)

If you are going to be sending like 6 powerbanks (i'm serious send over 5 powerbanks) to easily charge get a multi usb super charger

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YRYS4T4/ref=psdc_12557637011_t2_B00P936188

Of course you want to send more adapters for the different outlets, multiple because the hotels only send him one.

Losing his wallet is shitty content now, plus he will be going to places where there are a fuckton of pick pockets. Solve two problems with this.

https://www.amazon.com/Venture-4th-Travel-Blocking-Passport/dp/B014UULU7M/ref=pd_bxgy_468_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01FWC56RW&pd_rd_r=H5N9JTAB5A6T5SGT075J&pd_rd_w=0S218&pd_rd_wg=Oy2iJ&refRID=H5N9JTAB5A6T5SGT075J&th=1

Ice can wear this around his neck, and just pull it out to show ID and take out cash and his credit card, leave his passport with his other shit. Put a reminder to always tuck it back into his tshirt when he isn't using it.

For the weather:

Here is a drypack, so the powerbanks and extra phones/wires don't get wet.

https://www.amazon.com/Chaos-Ready-Waterproof-Backpack-Snowboarding/dp/B01BIN27SA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1499109716&sr=8-5&keywords=dry+pack

If that won't work with the teradek backup, just get a poncho

https://www.amazon.com/Frogg-Toggs-Action-Poncho-Blue/dp/B00DIGKQH0/ref=sr_1_7?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1499109863&sr=1-7&keywords=poncho

If tried to find a waterproof case but I'm not sure if they would work with the stick/wide angle lens, since you will be sending him the equipment please look into a something that could both use a wide angle lens on top of a waterproof case.

Also tell him to buy a couple more S8's. I know that is a huge investment but this retard is gonna break everything. And obviously get him unthrottled internet anyway possible.

Goodluck manager.

It might sound dumb, but these are pretty popular in the canyoneering community. They weigh 5 lbs (their biggest downside), but are really stable and can handle some lower class whitewater stuff, provided there's no rocks to scrape on. I have and have seen others run rapids in the Grand Canyon on these things. The best part is they're only $20. Most people I know grab aftermarket lighter paddles with them though.

I love carrying a small collapsable grappling anchor. Cup holders are always welcome. Also, this style of back rest is a nice thing to have. Anything to make the canoe more comfortable will let you stay out for longer stretches.

Otherwise I'd agree, but my major motivation here is to minimize the tangle of wires. Inline switches, and needing to hunt the right switch, are the opposite of that.

But I might have changed my mind about pulling fuses to reset things. A good fuse block like https://smile.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Systems-Blade-Block/dp/B000K2ILJ0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1505511301&sr=8-4 might have the fuses finger-accessible easily enough.

(ZTE Mobley = AT&T connected car device = truly unlimited LTE internet for $20/mo)

its so weird when two people have such different experiences.

You can also apply a new protective layer with a product like 303 fabric guard https://www.amazon.com/303-30604CSR-Fabric-Trigger-Sprayer/dp/B000221H08/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=303+fabric+guard&qid=1551369997&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

I use that stuff on my cloth soft top of my car with great results as well as shoes I want to add or refresh water repellancy.




as far as the grip, yeah they aren't as grippy as some other hiking shoes ive used but they really are comfortable out of the box.

Nice, glad to hear she is back up and running! I've had a slow battery drain in my tow vehicle for years. It will kill a battery while sitting over the course of about 3 weeks. After days of fruitless searches trying to find the drain, I eventually just broke down and left it hooked up to a battery tender so that it was always at full charge when I needed it. For my case, a Battery Tender jr. with a cigarette lighter adapter has worked great for me for over 10 years now. If your boat is not protected from the elements, you could also consider the water proof version of the battery tender.

One last thought that has saved me from worrying about any of this on my boat is to install a battery switch, so that you can simply turn off all connections to the battery when you are not using the boat. I currently use this one with two group 27 batteries. You could do something similar if you suspect you have a power drain. You do not need to add the second battery if you don't want, instead you can just get a simple on off switch like this. Though it is nice peace of mind when you are offshore to know you have a backup. Happy boating! Let me know if you have any more questions.

I have a small 27' boat, and was struggling with finding a good dingy. I needed something small enough to deflate a stow aboard, but big enough for two people and the dog. I ended up settling in this one: HydroForce Caspian 7'7" Inflatable Boat https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CC8ZXTQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_m2--ybHYGPGD2 . It's worked well for me so far, and I'd recommend the boat. It has low freeboard, so you can get wet when it's choppy, but it also has good structure that makes it easier to row.

OMG THESE WATERPROOF BAG THINGS ARE SO AWESOME. YOU COULD ALSO USE THEM TO STORE CAKE FROM YOUR CAKEDAY. HAPPY CAKEDAY BTW.

'I DONNO WAT TO USE AS A PHRASE' EITHER EVER.

> Also, windows.

And rooftops. It's amazing how easy it can be to get into a place from above, and there's usually something climbable running up the side if you're nimble.

And I agree with /u/drummel1 you're underestimating the power of a human with a prybar or sledge. Wanting to get in without comprimising the door or without trace is a different game. Head on over to /r/lockpicking for that game.

Also, I've lost count of the times I've seen a security door set in a wall that is weaker than the door. Like link 6 in your stuff, that wall is thin sheet steel, a knife to start the hole and a pair of tin snips will get you through it if you go between studs, there should be room to squeeze through.

Personally, I've got one of THESE I really want to throw in my truck attached to a chain. Back into the wall with it to shove it through, let it expand inside, drive away and make a new door? Dunno, but it would be fun to try!

Best of luck! If you can't find one, this item has free same day delivery...

I LOVE my Flo its a Kayak PFD and has indents for your breasts so they don't get squished. I absolutely love it. its totally adjustable. I live in Georgia and it gets really hot, this one has never bothered me. If you have a local outfitter, go try one one.

That's a valid personal choice.

However, I'm not sure the size would work.

This one maybe. It's 120 dB which is ok and might work but it's a bit bulky and even in a purse - how do you get to it quickly?

Consider Pepper Spray AND combine it with training. It's smaller, likely to be more effective than an air horn, you can have it in your hand as you walk etc. But the training is key.

I am NOT recommending these instructors or the course as I don't have experience with them but I wanted to provide some link/info for you to look into. In addition to the product, they have trainers in the NoVA area enter your zip code and find what works for you.

I have a Stohlquist women’s model. I picked I up as a last season color for like $50ish. I love it, super comfy, big pockets, comfy for all day paddling.

Edit: I have this one in orange: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006LJRW4Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1527033459&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&dpPl=1&dpID=51r2uZsT2vL&ref=plSrch&th=1&psc=1

You can do a combo like this for pretty close to your budget. The boat itself is surprisingly resilient, collapses down to a (heavy) bag for your apartment. Motor mounts on securely. Plan for some occasional vinyl repairs, and you have to deal with a battery and charging, but it'll putt you around until you want to get into something more permanent. I use this as a dinghy for a powerboat and it works great. I added a small solar panel ($75) and converter unit ($15) so it charges the battery when it's parked for a while.

   I know my needs are fairly minimal. I see opportunity to grow with this system if I ever need to. I’m excited to lay it out with the actual parts soon and begin thinking about it in the real world.
   
   Any suggestions, info or questions are completely welcome. I know little about electrical, only what I’ve learned from reddit and youtube. Thanks pals and again /u/StolidSentinel for the help and replies to all my messages and questions!

>I'm fairly ignorant of electric systems on boats.


I hope you're comfortable with how basic 12VDC electrics work and are asking about how to wire them in a marine environment.


Preface, I'm not a certified marine electrician but I've done a ton of work re-wiring, custom work on all kinds of sail and power boats.


Tools:
>I do have a cheap harbor freight multi-meter

good, now you're going to need a way to crimp those shitty connectors and some dielectric grease.


Unless of course you want to solder all your connections (this is my preference as it doesn't vibrate loose or corrode as quickly), then follow NASA's soldering method s and yuu'll need some rosin cored solder and and a soldering iron, you'll also need to use a crimp connector without the pre-molded shrink wrap and some heat shrink tubing


Ok... got your tools? great, now for supplies.


You'll need a buss bar on your ground


Measure how much wire you need, (are you re-wiring the mast?) and use 14/2 AWG marine grade wire.


If you're only using 1 battery you can get away with a simple switch like this. From the devices & lights you listed It sounds like you can use 10AWG to connect your battery to your switch then to the 14 gang panel.


You'll need a way to label your wires, I use one of these but if you're doing one job you might want to use something cheaper.

Ok... now on the to the fun part


Plan where you're going to mount your panel and pull a single RED 10AWG from there to your battery shut off switch and another strand from you battery to the switch.


Pull 10 AWG from the battery to the buss bar.


pull all the 14awg from the lights to the panel labeling each 14/2 wire as you go


red goes to the fuse block, black goes to the buss bar then to the negative on the gang block, label everything at the connection points, big red wire goes from battery switch to the bolt on the 14 gang, big black wire goes to the buss bar.


install new things, as each device is hooked up test the fuse and switch, then install the new thing.

Edit: I forgot to mention, use dielectric grease on all metal fittings to reduce corrosion.


edit 1: put a fuse between your battery and shut off ont the red wire

If you want to go even cheaper, this is my setup and it works great.

 

Kayak - $180

Rod Holders - $9

Anchor - $35

Anchor Trolley Kit - $20

 

A little bit of DIY, but it works great, and less than half the price you wanted to spend.

Nice :) I recently bought an Intex Seahawk II that's perfect for fishing. It has 2 pole holders, room for a tackle box and cooler, and you can mount a motor on the back. Not bad for $100 new.

Sure! Here is the pump I used. If you are building a trailer, then you should look at getting a 100w solar panel, a charge controller, and a deep cycle AGM battery. You could probably get all that for under $500 and that way you'd have a very good supply of power on hand to run lights, chargers, and the pump!

Seems like a solid deal. I don't use my autospihon tip and also just bottle straight from the spigot, so I personally wouldn't bother with the deluxe. I'd also forget about the one step cleaner and just go with iodophor or star san. Stove top should be fine for 5 gal extract, especially if it's gas. You'll want a thermometer and I'd say 3 gal kettle sounds small. The kettle should be stainless.

I'd say next most important investment beyond the stuff in the kit plus thermometer and kettle is a wort chiller. They are a total rip off. Just buy some copper tubing (3/8" x 50') and wrap it around something with a 6-8 in diameter. You can hook it up to a faucet, but you'll waste a lot of water. It is better to use a pump. A lot of homebrewers seem to use submersible stuff for aquariums, but I think something like this is definitely superior for power and pressure drop by the dollar.

I have a couple of these seats. They work pretty well for short day trips. The main benefit for me is that it relieves some of the lower back strain that I feel sitting in the canoe.

303's product:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000221H08/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Water beads right off like crazy. I just drove about 1,500 miles through Montana complete with torrential downpour in the pass between Missoula and Spokane and plenty of dust (my wheels are half tan, half black). and my car is a filthy mess, yet the top honestly is clean as a whistle save for a little dust.

For about 6 years I have used my 250$ intex SeahawkII and I love it. I bought better oars and a big dual action pump and this thing is rock solid. I have used it over 50 times for canoe camping trips or fishing. You can get the bigger one with a rigid floor for the same price now. Intex Mariner And these boats almost have the same specs for 1/10 of the price

You could get one meant for pressurizing plumbing, like they use in RVs, and then the pump would cut itself off. The extra sensor and switch for that will make it cost slightly more. Here is an example : https://www.amazon.com/Seaflo-Diaphragm-Pressure-Caravan-Marine/dp/B00DLKT4OO/ref=pd_sbs_200_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00DLKT4OO&pd_rd_r=4A04Y6ZT6ZEB16T5CMB3&pd_rd_w=sAONb&pd_rd_wg=ea169&psc=1&refRID=4A04Y6ZT6ZEB16T5CMB3

That's the most "fire and forget" solution. Don't forget to connect the drain hose back to the water tank you use so if it gets to that part in the wash cycle it won't spray water everywhere.

This type of pump is how RV plumbing works - they have a water tank, a pump like this, and then tubing going to the various sinks and toilets in the RV. Some RVs do have washing machines. So a solution like this should work fine without issue. You can use a car battery for the 12 V or a 12 V battery charger or you might have a power brick for a USB hub or something that can supply 12 Volts and a sufficient amount of watts.

Try and find if there is a parasitic draw:

If you don't want to find the cause of the drain just put in a battery disconnect switch. You could run it all the way to the cabin of the car so you don't need to open/close the hood every time you start the car and turn it off.

For under the hood: http://www.harborfreight.com/battery-disconnect-switch-97853.html

For riding in the cockpit with me, I use this one which has always worked well for me. For stowing things in the hatch, I use ny-sil Sea to Summit bags because they're more lightweight and pack together easier because they don't have a rubberized exterior.

OK, we are going to try to get one of these. How to I know which one is the correct one?

https://www.amazon.com/Perko-8501DP-Marine-Battery-Selector/dp/B00144B6AE/ref=lp_2598388011_1_1?srs=2598388011&ie=UTF8&qid=1554134911&sr=8-1

I suppose the cables go on the same way?

​

Here's the one I got from Amazon. I bought it (and the grappling hook) for the costume, and I've been using it every single day (turns out I love huge impractical bags, but not purses, so this keeps me from hauling my whole life with me everywhere).

So the 5 gallon water tank lasts you all day?

So, let's shave that 4 hour run time down to a mere 1 hour, and you'll have plenty forever. Building it smaller (since you're only building ONE of these systems) doesn't save you a whole lot:

Loads per day: 32.5 Watt-hours.
Days without sun: 3
Hours of sun per day: 4

Panel needed: ~25 Watts. (You only need ~8 watts for your load, but I figure you'd want to recover from a cloudy day or three with only one day of full sun, so that's where the extra wattage comes in!)

Battery Storage Needed: ~100 Watt-hours; a 35 amp-hour, 12-volt battery would be fine, and keep you above 75% SoC most of the time. Long as the cart's outside and in the sun every day, the battery will last a long time!

Charge Controller: Cheap 10 amp PWM still works.

Wire:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0YDC6K/

This isn't copper, it's CCA, but for this amount of current really... :/ You're talking only a few amps at only a few feet, so it should be fine. (I mean, you're gonna get max less than 2 amps from that panel down to the controller, so really, you're not going to be pushing anything.

You can also use landscaping wire, if your hardware store carries 12 AWG landscaping wire. It's good for random small solar projects, or cut apart an old 12 AWG extension cord. (Or even 14 AWG if it's pure copper.)

Check this out. Comfortable and straps to the bench.

I'm saying 834 thanks for the [contest] (http://www.amazon.com/SODIAL-TM-Waterproof-Multiple-Purpose/dp/B008S3W6H6/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2178B1GL21EVM&coliid=I3J3F2CWX69V10)

Waterproof or has a rain cover?

Waterproof backpacks generally look like this.

But any pack can have a rain cover...

You don't have to use Armyteks mount. I run my Viking pro in this Magpul mount. The Viking has a 1" diameter body so it will fit in any mount that can hold a 1" light.

You can find cheap inflatable rafts for around that price. They're unlikely to be super high quality, but depending on what you need it for should do the job.

I would start with the 400 grit and see how much it takes off. If you have to use a higher grit to get it off, do a second sanding with the 400 or 600 grit when you're done just to get it nice and smooth. I will use some polish (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AZ9J0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) as well when I'm done, but it's completely unnecessary.

I don't know what your budget is, so this may not be helpful. I saved up and invested in 5 pairs of these silk leggings
 

I have found that they have worn well over the years, they do not cause "static cling", and that they stop chafing of thighs as well as wicking moisture away from the body. They are expensive, so I bought one pair to see if they were what I was looking for, and then purchased the rest. I have had them for eight years and hand wash and air dry them.
 

There is also this fabric spray.

You really can't beat the GCI Sitbacker. Been going on an annual 4-day canoe trip for about 10 years and some of the guys still have their original chair.

Its an Intex Excursion 5. I got it off Amazon. Honestly I would highly recommend it. It fits in the trunk of my small car deflated and it's really durable. I've beat the hell out of it and not the a single leak yet. Here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CMBJ1VE/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1491119674&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=intex+raft

So if I understand this correctly, he wants to spend $24,960,000,000.00 for a measure that can be circumvented for less than $20? How is being a f**king idiot supposed to make America great again?

I had the same problem with the viscosity. I am using this [pump] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WYMC492?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) along with "push connect" fittings and have been fairly happy.

There is a metric shit ton of options. Something like this for an offset
https://www.amazon.com/Magpul-Industries-Light-Mount-Black/dp/B00CQ8FWCU

Viking tactics also makes a popular one. Do a search and you'll have plenty to choose from. 1" is the standard so virtually all mounts should work as long as they attach to a pict

Both of which are still louder than the average car horn and this is definitely not the loudest air horn out there.

Congrats on proving yourself wrong.

You are fucking lucky that she is ok. DO NOT let that happen again.

Carry one of these or something similar at all times when you’re walking with your daughter in a park, so that you can scare the fuck out of any dog that approaches closer than 5 feet. If you see a dog approaching your daughter, say the word cover loudly and step to the dog, because you will already have had a conversation with your daughter about the horn, and she’ll know that you intend on using it to keep dogs away from her. She will when hearing the word, cover both of her ears with her hands while keeping her eyes on the dog. You can actually try it once to show her how loud it is before you get to the park. If the owner of the dog starts yelling at you for scaring their dog, say the word cover again and give that piece of shit a blast. Grab your daughters hand and find a better direction. Life is meant to be enjoyed.

And yeah, the idea is to not kill myself. This is my first large project, although I have messed with low voltage stuff in the form of robotics for years.

This sub has been very helpful. I mean except for the shitter who keeps on hoping I die, thats not very helpful.

I plan to buy this water pump after seeing it in a video recently. If I can find the video I’ll link it. This water pump seems to fit exactly what I’m looking for.

*I can’t seem to find the video. Maybe someone else remembers... the person was dwelling in some type of small SUV/hatchback, the theme of the video was that it was an “experiment,” his test reservoir was a clear Tupperware container, and he was outputting to a kitchen sprayer.

The pump moves water until there is pressure on the line, then shuts off. Once you release the pressure (open faucet/sprayer) the pump will continue to move water until you once again pressurize the line (by closing the faucet/sprayer)

Just wondering what bags do you guys snowboard with?

While the disconnects do stop water on the female end, that is not the configuration that I set mine up with. The pump is a pressure switch pump that will only turn on the water pressure when you open the valve a.k.a. use your hose nozzle. The pump wires up with a positive and ground wire, so in my configuration, when I'm not using the pump I have it turned odd via a toggle switch. Let me know if that doesn't make sense.

How far out is it? I used this inflatable boat as a dinghy last summer and it worked fine. Cheap and functional as long as the water isn't too rough and you're not super far out.

Intex cheap ass boat. Get a crappy 2 person boat and load up your gear for a little paddle. Don't try and swim with your gear it's a recipe for disaster. I've used this particular boat as a joke on a 15 mile kayak trip. It was funny for the first 3 class 2 rapids, then it got old really fast. You can easily use this for a 700 m paddle. Don't swim it though it's going to be a bitch keeping your stuff dry and not drown.
