So I keep getting myself into projects which may be over my head. This one is a 12 foot pontoon boat with a 24 volt trolling motor hybridized thru a console (late 90's). Well it fried out on the lake last week so I figured it was time I learn about the basics of electrical systems on boats. After I had cut out all the mess of wires and figured out what I needed most elementally (thanks youtube), I needed an expert to look at what I had going on and assess if I was on the right track. Yea, I was!!! After Hunter ( the Manager at this location) looked it over and tweaked my circuit breaker and guided me thru some other stuff, AND taught me how to check for continuity with a multi-meter (that alone was worth big bucks) I walked away confident I was on the right track and was told if I needed any further input he was there to help.
You know how women are generally avoided in situations like this by hardware/auto store help?They scatter- trust me.. like cockroaches- they cannot get away fast enough..
Hunter spent a good 10-15 minutes with me in the heat of the parking lot and answered all my dumb questions even giving me a hardware piece to replace a cable end that was too large.
I cannot thank him enough. I left there feeling confident. Good work and I will brag on you to everyone!! read more
