I'm not worried about corrosion. Being a marine product it is certified to 67 atmosphere, so it says. (that's more than 900psi.)

The previous switch is the best you can buy. Shop wisely and don't be afraid of using google. I think I found one from a Marine Dealer - $47. You will also need a Battery cable (about 15") to go from the neg. side the battery to the switch. NAPA is a good source. I use one, but I installed mine through the top of the battery cover protruding upward (Large box w/group 27DS Batt.) I had to put a piece 2" x 2" wood into the opposite topside of the cover for spacing to hold the cover level. It was a lot easier to cut plastic over Steel. When you cut the cover make sure of your spacing. If you don't the cover may not go back on.324Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012
Gas grill mod or how to drill porcelain covered metal. ------------------------------------ I recently purchased a Thermos Grill 2 Go. The only thing it don't have was a built in thermometer. So I went to Lowes and purchased one from their outdoor dept. Now the problem was, how am I going to drill the porcelain top without cracking it. I didn't want to go to the trouble of finding a diamond tipped drill bit. The other night while laying in bed a thought came to mind (thoughts aren't usually what come to me in bed.) This is what I did and it worked great. I used duct tape to closely mask off the spot I wanted to drill. Then I took a Dremel tool and put in a metal cutting blade. I then lightly cut through the porcelain to bare metal. I didn't center punch it as I didn't want to stress the surrounding area. Then I drilled it normally, removed the tape, and cleaned the area, and it turned out fine with no cracks. If you need to drill porcelain I hope this helps.371Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012
I went to Lowes today and got 3 cam locks to install on all my basement hatch door. All of mine locks were the 751 key. I had to go to 2 Lowes in order to find 3 locks that are all keyed a like. First project for this season. Also went to Harbor Freight. They are having a big sale this weekend. I got a 12v air compressor that was marked down from $75 to $55.316Views0likes0Comments
