SO we got sick of the crappy steel tank rack that rusted and left rust stains all over the transom. I've wanted these aluminum and plastic modular tank racks for a long time, but they are special order and also expensive. So I walk in to the local dive shop to see how much it would set me back to order some, and they said, well, hey, someone just dropped off a few of those the other day. I made an offer and it was accepted, and presto (after a few hours labor and a new drill) we have swanky new racks!
They fold down when not in use to save space, and hold eight full sets of gear even with BCs attached!
I attached the racks without modifying the boat, so they can be easily moved or re-installed elsewhere. Check out the finished look complete with acorn nuts!
Capt. Sasha has a nice rack!
Dear Captain:
ReplyDeleteThought about this and other things you do when I read the following article in the NYT.

Heh! Broke a throttle cable today trying to anchor in Great Harbor, JVD. Fortunately for me, and the guests, the last time a cable broke, I replaced both of them (which only took all day to tear apart the boat and run 33' of cable through walls and under floors), and left the old good one in place for the next time a cable broke! So it only took me about an hour to swap it in today. Hooray for thinking ahead. Mental note, buy two new cables ASAP.
