I ran my 5KW Northern Lights on a 5 gallon bucket and it emptied the bucket in very short order......like less than a minute.

In 1997 Chris and I went with a diving group to Crystal River on a Manatee snorkling trip. We really enjoyed ourselves. The Manatee are enormous animals as you well know.

MESA is a "Fabrication Shop".....they do not cast product here in town. If they subcontract to foundries, I am not aware. We have made parts for them on rare occasions in the years past.

About 2 months ago I was concerned with the instablilty of the "Wind Screen". I had added a Bimini Top that intensified the problem.
