That sounds exciting. :-) Like I said, this is an "I think". I know I can properly insulte the battery and fuse it for safety, I do it with a GPS and cell phone right now. What I *don't* know is how good the insulation is on one of the submersible bilge pumps. With the fuse, and probably a little emergency cut off above deck just in case it stings me, I may give it a try later this year. 2amps below the waste won't kill you, but it'd certainly sting, I'll tell you what! *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Apr 27 1998 - 10:29:26 PDT
