I'm reading a book on Sea and open water Kayaking. The author proposes a metallic pole mounted aft of the cockpit with a ground wire trailing in the water. He stated that the theory is sound that the lightning will travel down the rod and into the water and the Kayaker should survive the indirect st...

I've seen welder kits for welding plastics at places like Harbor Freight. Has anyone ever tried them or does "duct tape a day, keeps the bottom away"? It may not be cost effective to buy a welder for a small puncture but i may be good if you wife uses the chainsaw to convert your Tarpon 16...

Have you thought of trying one of those small solar panels from Harbor Freight Tools. They have a small one that clips onto the car's visor for under $15. It should be small and light enough to slip under a bungee-cord and forget about it. This would allow you to use a smaller (lighter) battery to p...

I was wondering if anyone has tried putting wheels on their milk crate? With two wheels on one end the crate could pull double-duty as a portage cart. It gets strapped down to the deck anyway when on the water so it's not going to roll off. If the wheels cause the crate to lean then use it to your a...
