Hey Dan, I got one of these on the K-IX. I didn't make it myself but I could swear that the pipe is filled with sand or lead or something. It's pretty heavy. Is just the pipe heavy enough to counter act the buoyancy of the bulb and the air in the pipe?<br><br>Capt. Jeff<br><A HREF="http://FISHinKONA.com" target="_new">http://FISHinKONA.com</A><br><br>


Re: Details… - Capt_Dan_Kauai - 09-01-2001

Yea, I even half filled mine with silicone to keep the connection dry.<br><br>I thought about that when it was told to me how to make it & they said, `no worry’s.<br>The pipe is plenty heavy enough.<br><br>If ya have time, it’s not a bad idea ta make a second for breakage or burnout. You can put a higher watt bulb in it to if ya like for bright nights.<br><br>It works pretty good huh..?<br><br>I sure wish we had your calm water to drift over…<br><br></b></font color=red>Aloha</b></font color=red><br><br>Dan<br>Stand Up!!!<br><br><A HREF="http://www.fishingkauai.com" target="_new"> Stand Up Fish`N Charters Kauai Hawai </A> <br>[Wink]
