I have never had an issue with the case. I probably have 50 days on the river with it so far. It has been down some long swims. It is a GSI Lexan Utility Box. I also do random dunk tests where I leave it in a bucket filled with water over night. The switches I used were actually from the marine sect...

Hello boys and girls. This was posted on another board but I thought I would share it with you. Well I received a load of emails requesting Colin write a How-to on that awesome double pump system in his Vertige X (ahem Grant). So here it is folks! If you ever thought about building an automated pump...

I paddled Neil's Rival on saturday. It was ok at least I stayed upright but there wasn't much water to really play in to really give it a test run. The Nitro is fun ... not sure why people say it is a slow boat on flatwater. I would like to spend more time in it in bigger water like the Ottawa but n...

Keez is lending me his Nitro for a bit in order to try it out.

I will let you know how that goes

Thanks alot for all the input and now I will have alot to think about. I forgot to mention that I normally haul around 10 pounds of camera gear in a size 1400 Pelican case. Keez check your email ref borrowing your Nitro. Ref the Zephyr ... I found it way toooooo tippy for me being a top heavy guy an...

Greetings, I am seriously considering pending cashflow buying another white water open boat. No I am not trading the girlfriend in for a sportier model. She will remain my tripping companion. For those that don't know she is a 14 foot Esquif Virtige X. I am a big guy. I would like my new mistress to...

Started flatwater when I was a kid.
Started white water back in 1995.
Really got into solo whitewater in 2006.

and carry it around in a Pelican case with extra lenses. It has a full aluminum body and is also fairly weather resistant. I have taken pictures when my hands are sopping wet and it still has a great grip. I have taken pictures at -10 degrees celsius. I have taken over 19,000 frames since I bought i...

Greetings,

Just wondering the dates of next years festival as I want to book my vacation now before my co-worker decides to leave me alone for 4 weeks.

Also any information on motels, etc in the area would be appreciated.

What type of battery are you running for the twin 1250's? UltraTech UT 1270 ... 12 volt DC 7AH. The price was right ... magically found two of them for free ... one of the HVAC guys at work owed me a big favour and I finally collected! Thanks to everyone for their input. I bought a waterproof case ...

In what way are you going to control these pumps float switch or hand toggle or some other way? Oops ... forgot to mention that ... most likely two separate regular switches. Are pushbutton switches better ... i am worried about toggle switches getting broken. Also forgot to ask ... is it ok to hav...

I just got my attwood 1250 pumps ... had to wait for them to come in. I am not an electrical wiz so forgive the question. If you have two pumps connected in parallel and one pump is 12 volt dc and draws 2.6 amps max (they say to put in 4 amp fuse) does it still draw only 2.6 amps or 5.2 amps when bo...

if its locked .... its insured
