Thanks Randy for the pictures of your boat's electrical system. The addition of pictures to our discussions add so much. Because of your pictures Bud asked the question of how you charge the battery and we all learned about the 12 volt DC outlet method. Now this method might be common knowledge for some, but for me it was a revelation of simplicity and convenience. I was planning on a 12 volt outlet, but I don't think I would have reasoned that I could charge the battery through it. I've been to your site before, when I first got my boat. I copied your trailer outboard mount and tire mount. I also made a foldable hatch screen insert that was inspired by the one I saw on your website. So, thanks for those pictures too. Bill has done a wonderful job on the MSOG photo site. I go there a couple of times a week to look at new entries and the ones I've already seen. However, these are formal pictures and even though they add a lot of richness to the MSOG site, they don't deal with the nuts and bolts type issues in which I seem to be more interested. I think it would be great to have a depository of "how to" and "unique features" pictures that we could all refer to during our discussions. When Bill first solicited pictures for the site I looked through my picture files for ones that I could send to him, but I didn't have any. All the pictures of my boat are of improvements that I made or of specific areas where someone on the list has asked for a particular view. I don't have any formal "this is the boat" pictures and no pictures with me in them. So, in the spring, I'll have to take some. So from now on the "Dinky Boat" website is at the top of my favorites list. Rick Langer M15 #337 Sialia
