Not a comment, a question? I may have missed it but is the existing fuse sufficient or might you need to increase the amps?

Nice,sounds like a great install! I like the idea of using it as a plug for your fish finder :)

Thanks so much Larry, glad you found it useful :)

You're very welcome Chris, thanks for the comment!

Thank you very much!

Did you go to Shouldice for your surgery as well? Glad I finally got it done, I can't understand how people can go years with a hernia, it was getting bigger and bigger as the months went buy, although I guess the weight training didn't help lol! Thanks so much for the sub, good luck in the 30 days of baits contest!

@@DanRichardFishing yea I agree I don't know how people live with one, I had to have 3 fixed and I had it done 10 years ago, it is worth it and yea they were most likely from the gym and I had one from birth that I never knew I had. I am in Columbus, Ohio and I had my doctor refer me to a hernia specialist, they did a great job and can't wait to see some of your fishing videos!! :)

Thanks Phil, definitely started upgrading my tools for this work when I realized I would be doing more and more videos on DIY for the boat, thanks for the support :) You've been an amazing subscriber, since I started, thank you so much. And stop showing off with your warm weather and sweet peacock bass lol!

@@DanRichardFishing LOL!!

Hi David, I did a video on how to test your battery with a multimeter, which you can see here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bqyhe6derMfQdHU.html I have a feeling this is not what you mean though, can you link me to the item you are referring to if it's not what I show in the video? Thanks!

Hi Bob! Sorry for the late reply, just been busy with work and home stuff. So here are the answers: 1. I installed the actual seat part to the shaft myself, but the hole in the floor and the post base was already on the boat. 2. The post length is exactly the one I linked to - 25" - 32" adjustable :) 3. The base socket has a inset socket inside that you do need to drill a hole in to the floor to insert it. You can get a better look at what the base socket looks like here: old.attwoodmarine.com/store/product/238-Series-Socket-Bases. I'm not 100% sure but the socket hole in the floor for my seat is probably in the 2 3/4" size or so. The chair shaft is 2 3/8". So the base socket fits in to the hole and then the base is bolted or screwed down in to the floor. 4. I do no believe there is any additional reinforcement on the floor... the marine plywood is already quite thick. I weight 230lbs plus whatever clothing I am wearing and it holds up fine. 5. It's been 4 years now and I love it, no complaints at all. I bought a little tool holder that straps on to the seat post for my plyers and scissors to finish it off :) 6. The base is clear coated anodized aluminum and the post is all aluminum as well so it should be fine :) Use stainless steel screws/bolts for the install. Hope that helps!

Yes this is very true and most of the kits actually come with a little sticker in it that has these guidelines on them. I can guarantee I've matched the wrong colors in the past lol! Thanks for the post!

No problem and thank you! The pedestal post is a Swivel Eze model 238833LSM1 and you can find that on this product page on Attwood's old site: old.attwoodmarine.com/store/product/Pedestals--Adjustable-Height Love it, works just as good as the day I bought it a few years ago! The seat itself is from Cabelas.com www.cabelas.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-pro-qualifier-backstop-pro-butt-seat

Hi Ken! Just so I understand, you were connecting the positive that was coming FROM the switch to the USB and when you would turn on the switch AND turn on the USB on/off switch, nothing would work, but when you connected the positive going TO the nav switch to y our USB, it worked?! Something there is weird, did you test the positive coming from the switch to see if you have 12v?

I'm using my Mastercraft strippers from good ol' Canadian Tire: www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mastercraft-automatic-self-adjusting-wire-stripper-0584570p.html?loc=plp

That is really weird, I wonder if that's just the functionality of the USB charger you got and that's how it works. Did you try hitting up the maker of the USB charger to get their feedback?

@@DanRichardFishing I tried to contact the maker and also Amazon where I purchased it two weeks ago and have not heard anything back! The discription says, it has a built in memory so if you turn it off and disconnect the battery, next time you connect the battery it should be off. It works that way only for few minutes, but if I disconnect the battery for 10 minutes or more and connect it again the charger will be on!! I agree it is weird!

Hi Douglas, the key is to find a charging port with the highest available amps for the quickest charge. for a quick charge USB connection, you want the Quick charge 3.0 format that outputs a total of 36 watts, which is 3 amps per USB port on a dual charger. So for example like this: amzn.to/3idBdaU Hope that helps!
