Built a manual chumming system:
(http://www.sportfishermen.com/board/f29/transom-mounted-chum-churn-111406.html) and a buddy suggested inserting a garbage disposal (GD) into the in-feed chute to make the job of creating the chum even simpler.
Hmmm...
OK, all the GD's I could find are 120 VAC. Boat uses 12V DC. Can a 120VAC motor be "re-wired" to operate off 12V DC?
I know, using an inverter from the 12V DC batteries to 120VAC would be the conventional way to do this. But I read posts in another forum that said someone was successful in re-wiring a 120VAC GD motor to run off 12V DC. That would be even simpler.
Thanks for any input anyone's willing to provide.
