I did a few projects the summer in preparation for first ice.

 

Wireless Underwater Camera remote continuous panner. Designed for Vexilar FishPhone.

Increased furnace to from 8,000 to 12,000+ BTU opening the orifice and designing new venture.

Added an automotive 4 speed fan and 3 computer fans to furnace. Just like my truck, when chamber is hot turn on high for quick air exchange. After a few min. turn to the quiet low to maintain or off and let the super quiet computer fans move the air.

Added a 4’ drop down table for fish cleaning at the cabin or home in a warm place keeping the smell out of the house or cabin. Also added one on the outside for the guys in my Down and Out Flip.

Built an insulated battery box with a 24 watt cable heater to keep batteries warm between outings. Batteries now stay at 45 deg. all winter keeping the unit plugged in. 24 watts adds negligible cost to run. Also added a charger/maintainer.
