Is Sea Pro Todd in the house?
I do enjoy a good Squirt now and then.

I tried various hammers and went with a 16 ounce rubber mallet. Seems to generate a thud rather than sharp tone.

Necessity is the mother of invention ! All look good, if they pull fish and hold them under boat, makes catching that much more enjoyable. I put one together 3 years ago for a friend, went through 3 windshield Motors , ending with one from school bus that actually worked. However, no where near the fish drawing thump of the Bobo thumper ! It has been on my boat for over 5 years , couldn't be happier. Jeff will answer any and all questions putting the customer first.

I have an on/off remote. The boat is in my driveway next to the fence. When the five dogs next door start barking I activate my thumper.

Thanks Greg! I try to keep up but I seldom get time to check in on Tff. I’ve got a thumper on the testing bench and another I’m getting boxed to ship as I type this. Usually it’s easier to contact me by phone or email.

The rubber cane end was to take some of the "clack" out of the hammer strike and made it more of a thud. I didn't think it would be much of an issue turning it off and on, but the remote is tons better! Seriously thinking to add a remote to splasher!
