Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
So the popping cork did the work today? Nice! It's a great way to fish. Keeps you moving and often yields results!

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
That looks like tons of fun! Not fair you guys can fish in tank tops and I am looking for my snow shovel
Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Keep in mind we are in vaca in the southern climes. At home in maple syrup land, its wool hats and socks, though no snow yet......
2 more days and it's back to reality.
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
I really like the deck hatches with flush hinges. Where did you find the ones you used?

Thanks Brian.

I had a master cut-off switch, a circuit breaker and a BlueSea USB charger from Amazon all fail on me and am in the process of replacing them, but the hinges have been good, no sign of rust yet.

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
I ordered some similar to those. One came in before the rest and the hinge was just straight up crunchy. I cancelled the rest of the order and got some of the cheaper Gemlux hinges. Theyre sheet metal vs cast but super smooth.
Was the circuit breaker bluesea? I've gotten nothing but BlueSea for electrical parts so far. Well except for the TM breaker. I got the MinnKota one which is probably rebranded from something else.

Amazon has gotten to be a lot like eBay in that the quality of sellers now includes some sketchy ones, and I think it's more common to get goods that are counterfeit. Not saying that's what you had happen, but under one listing you can have multiple sellers, and some of them might ship the actual product in the photos and some may ship something cheaper. There have been a number of companies mentioned here for a variety of products, I began collecting them in a file, because I can't remember stuff . . . now where did I put that file?

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Yes Amazon has a huge counterfeit problem. It's just way too stinking convenient!
Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Agreed, it's becoming a bit of a crap shoot.
