tempted fate with:

Cover the nav station top with 1/2" aluminum plate for a heat sink? :-)


Now that is a MANLY solution. Makes me embarrassed I ever offered up
my girly plastic trivet idea. (-;

I've always liked "Manly Solutions".......

That might be OK for cocktails on the boat but it would get laughed
out of the parking lot at the Georgia/Florida game. Last year we made
about 300 Margaritas with the Tailgator in four hours. Had to name a
couple of designated walkers to get some of the crew into the stadium. :-)

No comparison. Looks like a girly solution to a girly drink problem.

The "danger factor" of operating a high-speed, 2-stroke ENGINE with
MANLY stainless steel blades that could easily slice off a hand
without loosing 10% of serious RPM.....plus the INTENSE NOISE of the
TailGator attracting attention this (cough)(choke)(puke) "electric
drill attachment" would never render. It's definately a "guy
thing"....

TailGator even leaves access to idle speed and idle mixture screws so
the "guys" can make unnecessary "adjustments" for their manly egos....

Headed out for the World's largest outdoor cocktail party Tomorrow
