Re: Super Console Windshield - Bolts

When I needed a few replacement bolts for the same application I ended up using some appropriately sized stainless bolts and grinding the heads to shape on a bench grinder. I spent less time grinding than I did searching the net and posting in various places seeking an off the shelf solution.

Re: FLIR ONE $250 Camera for Engine Diagnosis

Regarding the use of a FLIR One for navigation, I believe it would be awkward at best considering that (for Android at least) it is simply plugged into the USB port typically on the bottom of the phone. I've tried using mine while tethered to the phone via a USB cable but was unable to get it to fun...

Re: NAVICO TotalScan SONAR Tranducer

HDI means Hybrid Dual Imaging, but I don't really know what that means. [It is a] skimmer transducer from Lowrance and typically a small puck made for transom mounting.

Re: Power Saw

For a circular saw you can't go too wrong with a Makita 5007 or one of it's variants such as 5007MG (lightweight version). For a Shopsmith, contact my neighbor, he'd love to get rid of his.

Re: Power Saw

I've had a radial arm saw (RAS) since I was in my teens; I'm in my 60's now. I always got by using the RAS and a 7.5 inch circular saw, sometimes augmented by other various saws (cordless circular, sawzalls, jig saws, etc.). After my house got whacked by hurricane Sandy I picked up a 10 inch miter s...
