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.

GEC #87 Bull Moose - Osage Orange Wood
zhlédnutí 501Před 2 lety
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?

Word is on the Great Eastern Cutlery blog that they are finishing up the latest round of these and calling them the Yankee Barlow this time around in 2022. I am sure that collectorknives.net has already handed out early reserves for that SFO. These are some from an older video I had recorded but not released in 2018 I highly recommend getting one of these when you can! GEC blog: greateasterncut...

I did some looking and found similar wood grain, especially when cut on the diagonal, but the coloring didnt show up elsewhere. It is my first new Case, so that makes it special in it's own right.

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 .
What are the odds I have the same knife as you there? Crazy coincidence
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
Let me buy it from you
My father had a old uncle henry by shrade real bone on it
What is the draft with the motor up and motor down?
You wanna drop a link or where you got that gas strut I have the same exact boat and want to put not just one, but some on other door?
again, with the other comments ive left tonight ill buy this if youre interested in selling
i will 100% buy this if you sell it
along with my other comments, interested if youre up to selling
if you still have this id love to buy it if youre up to selling!
hey! great video, any chance you still have this and would like to sell it or any other GEC knives? got cash at the ready
Nice bolt. Good information. I'm looking to buy a new boat between ranger and targa tracker.
Get on with it
Is the length of the boat, motor and swing away tongue over 21ft with the motor all the way down?
tongue extended or folded?
Nvm I bought one thank you for replying a lot of CZcamsr don’t
Thanks.for the video.o learned a lot about cleaning old knives.
Where did you find the 150 merc outboard cover?
The place that makes them is in Australia. Check out outboardcovers dot com
Thanks for the tips on cleaning up knife 🗡 I got when I was magnet fishing and I have finds old things. John E. May-0 ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This guy fucks.
Hey Jeff, Great Review. Thanks for taking the scale and bolster off to show us. I like your tip of screwing backward slightly first to make sure threads line up correctly to avoid stripping.
It is despicable for someone to let these knives to get in this condition when they are so easy to maintain.
Too critical dude.
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.
I carried pocket knives for my entire lifetime in 70 years old and still carry one today
Did the Bimini come with it or did you have to custom order? Also how does it handle rough water?
I added the top myself. I havent owned a boat before but it seems extremely stable even in rough water. Ive had it in the ICW here in NC and one day the wind kicked up a strong chop and while it was bumpy i had easy control and stability.
I restored cleaned a few old pocket knives but you tips will take my work to the next level. Thank You for the patience and video. Ken
Great process. Loved the video. New subscriber
What did you pay for the Exposito knife? Yes great serie this > New Subscriber here :D <
Beautiful ❤😂
Excellent, thank you.
I use a combination of fine sand paper and polishing compound. Those two things not likely to hurt anything and if done properly can make your knife look brand new !
Just got one today and only paid 50.00 on ebay. Awesome knife for that money and is a hollow grind s35vn blade which is very thin cutting edge.
Would you consider selling this? Many people collect. I only buy once in a great while. But I can't find the one I want. It's disheartening. I'd be willing to pay over market value and more. Please let me know. Either way, thanks for the video!
Beautiful pair of little bullet barlows. I don’t have any of these in my new collection. I only found out about GEC in 2019. Not a fan of the blade on the most recent run of these in 2023. The beerlows. Anyhow, someday, I will definitely be adding this pattern. They are good looking. Thank you for the show and tell.
Just saw this. Excellent video. Great big ole cigar jack knife. Love it. Thank you.
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!
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.
Can you use Pb blaster ?
Just now seeing this. WOW ! This is probably my all time favorite pocket knife. Unfortunately I do not have one. Sure is nice to see them though. So elegant. Beautiful. Exquisite. The very definition of gentleman’s pocket jewelry. Awesome. Thank you for sharing
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.
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.
Great transformation! I thoroughly enjoyed your process. My process is very similar. Can't wait to check out your other videos. Do you have any ideas for weak lockback spring tension? I haven't come across anything that wasn't very heavy involvement with specialized tooling.
Hey brother, get you a file card to clean out your files. Extends their life dramatically. and helps them cut so much better.
Oh man, air compressor!!! I am so stealing that idea!
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.
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 several hundred if I haven't broken a thousand yet. Never counted them though. Maybe one day so I can inventory them. I have inadvertently gotten some duplicates but not as many as you would think.
Now I need to go buy some old knives to clean them using your methods. Thanks
