Hello
I did a search and could not seem to find a worklog that has pics and things for a boat pc. I know quite a few boaters who ask about doing an install and I would like to point them to a worklog or two. Any suggestions?

If someone would buy me a 25'/26' Baja Outlaw, or boat of similar setup, I would be more than happy to post the worklog.

I dont have a worklog but the Arc Audio boat I built (Loudest boat in the world) runs on a full blown PC. If you can find the episode somwhere you would have a half an hour log to look at. Show was on OLN and was called "Rock The Boat". I lost my DVD's so I have nothing from that show
so if anybody finds it let me know.

I've never done a full blown worklog, but I have a BoatPC setup in my Baja 302.

BoatPCs provide a little different challenge than cars, shutdown controllers aren't really set up for a boat applications, transflective is a must, and I've found that a powermate can be your friend when running across a chopped up lake at 60 mph.

Hardware:

Acer Power 1000 w/ 60G SSD
Carnetix 2140
External 200G 2.5 hard drive
7" Transflective (for cockpit dash)
22" LCD (for inside cabin with 12V input run from M2-ATX)
Carnetix USB5V
Griffin Powermate
garmin GPS module using marine antennae on dash
Directed HD radio (hardly use it)
XM Direct (for remote lakes)
USB video capture
backup camera (looking at the outdirves)
Fusion Brain (air and lake temps)
FM transmitter (so other rafted boats can listen to my tunes)


Software:

Windows 7
RideRunner
DFX 4
Google Earth

Audio:

4 qty 10" subs (under rear seat)
4 qty 8" pioneer marine (cockpit)
3 qty amplifiers
2 qty 6.5" pioneer marine (cuddy w/ separate amp and volume knob)

I'm working on a buddy... 34' day cruiser, which they use for overnight trips. Has the generator and everything, so the PC would serve as the perfect media server for his application. However, high-technology isn't really his thing. (at least in this boat)
