How to: DIY bow chartplotter install on Ranger VX1788 or VX1888

Tried to record the process of installing a Garmin Echomap UHD into the bow panel on my Ranger VX1788wt. Some of these boats have a graph installed here from the factory but if not, it is easy to do it at home. I also included where I routed my wires. NMEA 2000 video coming soon.

Last I looked you can still get your hands on this knife from Great Eastern Cutlery at a handful of their authorized dealers. The wood on this knife is very unique, and probably a bit under the radar. I think with some oiling it would darken into more of an amber orange color. What kind of traditional pocket knives do you want to see?

    I'm hoping it is open and close one handed very easy. I love that it includes S35VN and can be carried with pocket clip. It should be a quick, good everyday knife for the smallest tasks. I have Civivi knives so I judge they make generally usable and reasonable quality knives. Really quite sharp out of the box too .

    Did you really just spend 8.5 minutes before revealing the knife? Unfortunately You Tube does not have a "Blow my Brains Out" or "Hang Myself" emoji, or else it would be inserted here. The drag out is so unnecessary. Congrats on 18:00 video

  • @johnclarke6647
    @johnclarke6647 Před 5 měsíci

    I let knives like that soak in two cycle gas overnight. Then, clean out the liners, rinse it again with two cycle and then blow it dry with compressed air. I then use some 400 wet or dry to clean out the liners, rinse with two cycle and blow dry, again. I use the 400 to get rust off the blades, sanding lengthwise on the blade to not leave scratches in the blades. I the hut it with jewelers rouge, rinse and blow dry, agin. I the lube the locking surfaces and work the blades until they are free and have some snap to them. I may let it soak again in two cycle and blow dry.

    A thrilling and informative watch, found it as I've been fortunate enough to come by an example of the Ebony version in nice user condition, so now I know a lot more about it thank you! 7 years on, what can we add? Firstly, of the three names (Drover, Half Scout, Harness Jack), only Harness Jack appears to have stuck, which is strange as I don't think an opposite-ended congress pattern is a true Jack at all! But that's knife nomenclature for you... Second, there hasn't been a Full Scout 4-blader on this frame, but several 3-blade models and the 2-blade Churchill. In some ways though, I think this is the best of the lot - lovely slim carry, one cutting blade and one sharply pointed 'poky' blade covering most daily needs, plus, as you said, it's hard to beat ebony. Hope you're still enjoying yours!

  • @Proudathiest1

    I had an old knife that was so corroded. I couldn’t even get one of the blades out. I had a big old can of WD-40 like a half a gallon can or something and I poured some in a plastic ice cream bucket and submerged the knife in it overnight the next morning when I took it out, the knife fell apart in my hands.

  • @generalbubba435
    @generalbubba435 Před 9 měsíci

    I think to properly clean those old knives you should do a total disassembly. Knock out the pins & separate the different layers. Then do your cleaning routine. I think the results would be better.

    • @jprime84
      @jprime84 Před 9 měsíci

      Most of them are "peened" or mushroomed out such that you cant punch them out like a machined pin in a firearm or something. You would have to drill them.

  • @Narrow_Gate_Forge
    @Narrow_Gate_Forge Před 9 měsíci

    I do the same thing with using a block to get the edge safe to scrub with the steel wool. One thing I do different is to add a layer of cardboard from an old box between the board and the knife. It kind of cushions when I am pressing into it. Maybe it's in my mind, but I feel like I get better results that way.

  • @Narrow_Gate_Forge
    @Narrow_Gate_Forge Před 9 měsíci

    Mean green is fantastic cleaner that is not hurting finishes on these old knives. I also use 0000 steel wool to knock off rust without losing the cool patina underneath.

    Hey Jeff, brand new subscriber here. I stumbled across your channel and am so glad I did! I too also get old disused, neglected vintage/antique pocket knives and breathe life back into them.

I have inadvertently gotten some duplicates but not as many as you would think.
