Different looking unit. I wonder how those flat bars between the tines hold up. If your like the rest of us with these things your going to be smiling for a long time!

Hey guys, Sorry about the Yelling my wife types with the "caps lock" on thinks it's easier to read? O'h well I leaned something new. I'm going to plumb it off the rear remotes. I got most the fittings today. Thats a learning experience, JIC,NPTM,NPTF,NPSM,BULKHEAD FITTINGS ,3/8",1/2',#6,#8 now I should be YELLING! Hopfully those bars between the tines will hold up they are 1/2"x2" and notched into the tines not laid against them. Check out the center V on the bottom tines it is cut like a knife edge. Nice talkin, Frenchie.

All caps reminds me of trying to read Naval Messages. They are royal pain in the back side. Most of the time I try and ignore them.

Let us know how you like it, once you get it hooked up. I live in Florida, and am considering one of these.

Easier to read? You bet! I skipped over your entire post. I don't read posts in all cap. What could be easier?
