Quote from: "Capt Matt"
Buy the book, and read it all you want guys, follow the pictures too and your wiring still will not be close to as pretty, last as long or be as functional as a Seabob job,  Less money in materials too if  you pay someone who does it day in day out to do it right the first time. Think of it like a cook book, 20 people can make the same recipe and not one will taste as good or look as good as the chef who makes it everyday, its all in the little details and technique!
Capt Matt

Capt. Matt is pretty much spot on.  But I can give you a guide, some real basics, as well as a bit of insight into my "technique".  My technique is not the only one out there, but it's the method I use, I'm comfortable with it, it allows me to adapt to changes should they occur, and it works...

And, fortunately for me, I enjoy it.  I'll come up with something...

Bob...you have a knack. And a bit of time spent, regardless of the venue....could pay big dividends later.

We're behind you for a number of reasons. But most importantly...with correct execution...it could be wildly successful.

Remember the little people :lol:  :lol:

Duly noted, Scott...

Where the heck would one find a pic like that  :lol: looks like it could be from one of those stupid shows my wife watches, dwarf doctors having babies and their husbands wanting to buy a Porsche but can't reach the pedals to test drive it.

No offense to height challenged people intended.

As far as cheap grease i'm tacky, red and tacky  :D

Bob what do you recommend to put on battery terminals to fight corrosion.

I have been using trailer bearing grease on battery posts for years with zero issues.  When I have a new battery installed in a car I take the terminals off and grease them as soon as I get home.

Makes sense, i pulled my batteries out to get in there for some maintenance and i noticed the terminals have just a tiny bit of corrosion on them, i usually spray them with the stuff in the blue can, can't remember the name but i figured time to try something different, grease it is.

And why is it that as soon as we are done applying the grease, we wipe our hands on our pants?...with a rag near at hand?


Arrrrggggg...I'll get it someday...

It's not so bad until you go into the house and sit down on mama's new couch or even worse, get it on the seat of your new truck.  :roll:

The worst is 5200 or anti-seize compound.  I can just look at a can of anti-seize and I'll have it on me somewhere.

JJ, didn't you know that anti-sieze is magnetic towards humans?  Walk by a can 2' away and it's on you...

And I know the deal with 5200 and vehicle seats... :shock:  :shock:

The worst of all is Pettit Trailer Coat paint.  It's the best thing you will ever see for protecting metal.  It also will never come off of the front of a new dishwasher.  :oops:   I guess I had splattered some on the front of my pants and when I reached up to get a glass...
