Hello,

Can you post some more pics of this set up? I realize it is a tailgate net for a pick up truck, but curious what truck it is off and how you attached it.

I really like this idea.

That does look good but since I do use my v-berth I've installed a cargo net under the u-shaped seat at front between the couches. Just some simple hooks into the bottom of the seat, the cargo net is out of the trunk of a car. Sure keeps the random crap from rolling around in the cabin!

Copper stranded is a recipe for disaster.

Everything I just wrote is related to dc. Dc travels on the outside of the strand......so more strands, lower resistance (impedance higher)

1 20a gfi will feed an additional 9 on the load side. Ac uses the entire line, so solid is a much better decision. Always ground up....or opposite of what u see in your house. This is for safety. Only.

According to an active thread in the Tech section, your outlets should be ground side up.

Not saying how you did it was wrong. I just wanted to point out a thread on the same topic showing the outlets upside down. First I had heard of that. I will be interested to see how Formula wires their outlets up when I am down in LOTO here in a few weeks.

Hello, what make and model is the box? I've been looking for a smaller one like that.

Did you bolt the metal supports to the trailer or weld?

Yes Diesel tips,,,was able to get all 4 shipped for $200.00,,,Gibsons are about $600.00 per engine,,,dont see why this would not work,,there nice stainless tips,,,

oh what project do you see?

Black clamshells for the cables. Figured you by eyeing something stainless there.

I agree. That tip doesn't know if it is on a boat or a truck. Looks good. .

My only observation, as I'm not sure if it would be a concern, is that most turn downs are angle-cut to the rear.

I don't think your tips could scoop up any water coming onto or off of plane. Do you always blurp the throttles just as the boat settles at the stern when you come off plane?
