That's pretty cool, we just put on some good pumping music and use our feet...  worked like a champ last time out; we were fishing humps and when the action died down and nothing on the graph we would just start up the music again and the graph filled up with fish and we started catching again. I guess Sandys like good county music.  I started pattin my foot just thinking about it..........

Thumpers are just so contrary to all I was taught as a young fisherman.

The cam had to be made. I found a 2" x 1/8" thick aluminum disk and used autocad to make the cam pattern in order to get the three lobes exactly 120 degrees apart. AutoCAD made it much easier to get the arcs correct so there would be no binding. For anyone interested, (getting techy here  ) by using a cam, you are able to get the maximum power from the motor since the motor is not lifting at an angle. Think of it this way. Which is easier, holding 5# straight out from your body and lifting it or just pushing it straight up over your head. Any way, by using the cam and a bearing on the hammer, the motor exerts less force and should last longer. (Well that's the hope )
