It looks like there is a small generator in the bow. I really can’t see how this plan would work. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aluminum boat, probably leaky as all old aluminum boats are, 120v cords draped to at least one plug strip and room fans making the boat top heavy...what could possibly go wrong? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I believe that's intentional. I've seen posts about that before. If you run the strap straight across your load, it vibrates in the slipstream and hums. Vruuuummmmm. I've been told that's annoying after several hours. But if you put the twist in the strap it doesn't hum. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...but the strap is doing nothing but holding the upper wood packing on. The RTU is strapped to itself, not the trailer. 6 minutes ago, Alpo said: I believe that's intentional.

But if you put the twist in the strap it doesn't hum. That is indeed the reason for the twist in the strap. My best friend used to be a long distance trucker who ran flat beds on occasion. Said the flapping sound and whining noise would get REAL annoying after a while. Edited July 19, 2023 by Cypress Sun 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
