Grins & giggles for you digital camera phobes... You can pick up something cheap on Ebay, or look at something like a cheap refurbished for relatively short coin: http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=DX3215-R

Or new for $95 http://www.buy.com/retail/product.as...7792&loc=13174

None of these are even close to high end but should be somewhat easy to use and damn near disposable if you drop it in the drink

Fellow Ship,

Ha Capt. Brad
There are a number of good horizontal devices on the market that all work pretty good “THE VORTEX” was designed for the guys that have the vertical scuppers with water shooting up and onto the deck. Although they probably would work just as good as the rest of those devices on the market. I would say if you do try them in your horizontal scuppers that run through the transom of your boat please reframe from using the Trojan collapsible diaphragm ones. Most SeaCraft owners take pride in their project boats and I think that if people saw two Trojans hanging out your transom as you pull your boat up and out of the boat ramp area at your local marina it could present a image that would not truly represent the majority of us Classic SeaCraft boat lovers.

???????????????????????

I've always considered myself someone who can visualize 'a thing' when it is explained to me.

For a $1,000,000 - I have no idea what this thing looks like. No idea how it works either.

Can you help me out ?

Thx,

Alan
