Gary I suppose, in keeping with the "nautical motif", we should have a custom- made blue cover with a ship's wheel, anchors or flags boldly emblazoned on the cover with the boat's name underneath for, say, $350? Naw, belay my last.....that old towel that we found in the lazerette will do.... Just toss it over the panel and hold it down with a few "empties". After all, this IS the party boat, right? We must keep up appearances to maintain our status! |

Send the bill to Larry! He told you that you don't need one...that's your choice. You're the captain and pay the bills. My water heater accepts 2 heating elements. Ones 120V and the other is 12V. I know other people who have large resistors that they divert power to. Of course they get hot, but it works. -- eoff |
