Finally embraced the new technology.

Trolling with tunes

I was so proud to have a CD player, then my 12 year old said that was old school, I need a mp3 player

I am not buying the White Album again!!

Re: CD Player install
 

I like the stero mounting station. How much for the mount ??. Was it hard to hook up ?
Something I want to do as well. Wifey took out the mp-3 player and it stopped working. Salt air ? or something.

Re: CD Player install
 

Don't worry phatdaddy, you can just rip the cd to your pc and convert to mp3! ;D Your 12 year old can "hook you up" if you need help.... ::)

JeffX, you been slacking on those V-21 Pics that all the guys are dying to see. >:(

Re: CD Player install
 

Huh? you musta missed this from sometine ago:

Looky what I found, foam in a 1971 V

:P

Not much progress has been made since. I have the inner linner detached from the sides of the hull, but I still have to seperate it from the stringers before I can lift it out so nothing new that's picture worthy yet. Hopefully that'll change soon! :D

Re: CD Player install
 

The mounting box was already in there and i replaced a 16 year old cassette player. The box is only a little larger & deeper than the radio. That is 2 strips of starboard 3/4 x 2 1/2 to lower it so you can reach it. The gap above makes a great place to store charts.
The cd player came from west marine and it comes with 2 speakers. all you need is a 12 vt power source. pretty basic stuff. It was on clearance for $150. am\fm\cd\weather band. it also has a jack to hook a mp3 player to it.

Re: CD Player install
 

Getting old Jeff, thought you had the V-21 and the one who sold me the enclosure for my V-20.

Look at our gallery, there is a 1970 V-20 project. Same tear down as yours. Great pictures of teh tear down and glass work.

Re: CD Player install
 

I bet the Coasties get a kick out of you horn.

Re: CD Player install
 

LOl, just seen the horn. Maybe he can play us a tune. ;D

Re: CD Player install
 

I like where ya put that, phatdaddy...gonna hve to break down one day, too I guess...right now, I'm busy tryin' to prove I'M THE DADDY!! ;D ;D ;D ...

Re: CD Player install
 

It's good to have kids. My 11 yo makes me stay up with tech, can't let him pass me by that easy. I've just learned how to download music. New cell phone has micro sd and mp3. Guess I could plug it to amp and play tunes wherever?

Re: CD Player install
 

Plug it into an amp...hmm...now THERE'S a SPEAKER-PHONE :o ...

Re: CD Player install
 

While i was messing around in the cabin, I also attempted to straighten out the snarful of wires under the dash. *I moved the terminal boards for + & - out onto the cabin ceiling and had a larger canvas flap made to hide & protect. *I still have a snarful but it is my snarful.

Nice lookin work Phat. Neat and clean wiring makes life easier onboard.

Re: CD Player install
 

Nice lookin work there Phat, Where do u have your fresh water holding tank ?

Re: CD Player install
 

Nice, but your son is right...cds are old school!!

I have a cd player that takes an sd card, aux port for my MP3 or a USB jump drive. I pull my sd card loaded with music from my Palm (phone) (or plug it directly into the stereo) and pop it in the truck stereo. I never use the cd player on it at all.

Next I want one for the boat....no more skipping cds while bumpin across the waves! 8)

I can keep hundreds of songs on a card the size of a quarter! Why bother with cds? :D

Re: CD Player install
 

Kenwood makes a really nice radio that has CD / MP3 / DVD with Sat. radio and built in 15 channel equalizer. great radio i have one in my black tahoe and had it's double din twin in my Corvette they have FM wireless remote

Re: CD Player install
 

stink , you lost me after the first sentence.

I really got this for the am radio. The nearest station that carries pro football on sunday aft is WWL in New Orleans. The old one had analog tuning & this one has digital, so the signal is alot cleaner.

Re: CD Player install
 

I got the new pump in today. wasn't too cold outside.

This is the old pump on a shelf I made to set it above the bilge pump, but below the deck level

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...waterpump1.jpg

shelf out with pump. *I made it so it sets on & over the stringers, so no drilling to stringers

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...umpremoved.jpg


Handyman, I put 3" pvc tubes between the gunnells and the outer hull below the rod boxes. *Capped both ends and put a tru hull in the cap. I tied both together at the pump, which is the lowest point of the set up. *I fill on the port side through the stand pipe under the boxes. *Capacity is about 5.5 gallons. *not very much but dosen't take up any room and is always in balance.

Either way you are set up now...good job. ;)

Re: CD Player install
 

Ok, I'm lost now. Fresh water pump, is that for the bait well tank or is the pump a wash down pump ??.
Whats the deal with all the pvc piping again ???

Re: CD Player install
 

MJ, we are dealing w/ a pretty smart guy here. Thats his freshwater washdown system. If ya want fresh water to wash yer hands or equipment at the end of the trip, he's got it. That is a great storage system for the water as well. Way to use the old noggin PHAT.

Re: CD Player install
 

Great lookin' wire work, Phat 8) ...


When ya do the pump, have ya gotta pull the oil-tank?...if so, ya might wanna clean it and the intake inside the tank...a clogged intake fried my B-I-L's boat ... :o ...

Re: CD Player install
 

Good advice on the oil tank cleaning REEL. Mines overdue, so onto the list it goes.

Re: CD Player install
 

Thanks air. I used to install irrigation systems on golf courses. all the courses were out of town, so i had free access to scrap PVC and a lot of time on the road to think of what it do with it.
Hammer, its a fresh water wash down. I installed a hatch in the deck to access the large empty space between the fish box and the cabin and was going to put a tank there, but ran into fabrication problems and plumbing issues. I had the rod boxes out one time and noticed the long skinny cavity under them and thought saddle tanks. It would be nice to have more capacity.the great thing about the pump location is it is a flooded suction. the water is already going downhill to the pump, no priming issues.

Re: CD Player install
 

RAP,Its on the spring list of thing to do. *I probably ought to remove and go premix, but love the convenience...... til it pukes. *I had an evinrude 235 with the first version of their VRO. *it took me a long time to ever trust oil injection again. I repowered in 94 and bought this motor brand new. *It showed 1100 hours on the meter last month, i know others don't like merc, but so far i'm happy.

Stink, thanks for the picture. it takes me a while. I remember when a kraco 4 track from wt grants was state of the art.

Re: CD Player install
 

Hey Phat, if ya weren't so far south I may have used you. I've built 4 golf courses in my carreer and done two major rehabs. All told, 7 irrigation systems at 6 different courses. I've also done a buttload of irrigation repairs in my time and, like you, have a little scrap PVC around all the time.

Re: CD Player install
 

Air, where are you located? We worked from new orleans to orlando and north to birmingham. When we started out all we would install is toro hydraulic. In this part of the south lightning was hammering the elec systems. We put our last hyd system in 93 and then installed toro & rainbird elec till 99. I was working with my dad & he retired in 00. My kids were growing up and i was on the road mon-fri, so i quit doing major jobs and now i do res-com and golf course control conversions, usually old hyd systems to toro osmac.

Re: CD Player install
 

I'm around Ocean City, MD and spent five years in Ohio. When I got to where I'm at now, we had Toro hyd that had been in service since 1972. We changed out to a new rainbird system. 18 months later we did a major renovation on the golf course and the architecht put in Toro. I've been with a Golf Professional or Superintendant, or both for a long time. The last two years I've gotten away from the maintenance end and more towards the General Manager realm of responsibilities.

Airslot

PS I understand the lightning issues, but I abhor Normally Open Hydraulic Irrigation. I'll probably have nightmares tonight just thinking about it.

Re: CD Player install
 

We had a lot of work for about 10- 12 years, then the course building boom eased a little. we were independent irrigation contractors, now most builders have in house crews. I ve worked on courses for 30 years and have played 1 game of golf in my life and that was in 1975. Great game , just takes too much time from fishing.

Re: CD Player install
 

Did either of you work on Cedar Point Golf Course in Suffolk Va. a couple of years back when they redid the course?

Re: CD Player install
 

Nope, never been there Still

Re: CD Player install
 

sorry me neither, i tried to never go north of I-10

Re: CD Player install
 

What did I ask a question http://syncboard.com/albums/album02/100_G.gif



II will now, On that pump you got there, will it draw water up the hose lets say 12" and prime its self?? I have 2 here and was thinking I could use one for a bilge pump, Cause I have no room for one down there right now.

Re: CD Player install
 

MJ, i'm not sure, I replaced the sureflo with a west marine brand pump. my water tanks are higher than the pump, so it is naturally self priming.I don't think that they would make good bilge pumps. washdown pumps are high pressure, low volume. bilge pumps are low pressure, high volume. from what i remember of your previous post, any pump would be an improvement.

Re: CD Player install
 

So Phat, you can fill both water tanks through one fill cap? Are the PVC tanks attached to the gunnels or outter hull at all? Or do they just sit in there?

Sweet idea!
