I've been running some wires in my aluminum boat this spring. I've cut some holes in various places (not through hull!) big enough to run locator plugs through (1-1.5 inches). I took the Dremel out and smoothed the sharp edges around the inside of the holes, but I would like to get some good weather-proof rubber grommets to protect the wires and keep the compartments they run through safe from rain.
A couple years ago, my friend and I found some great cone-shaped grommets at a local marine store, but that dealership has since closed. I found some regular hoop grommets at the auto parts store and BoatUS, but they won't keep rain out. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
