Sheets and lines secured by a winch should angle up to the drum, not down to it. 250's lead slightly down, causing frequent overlap jams. Here's how I corrected the angle with a simple $2.79 eye strap. I took the picture with my new 99 buck Intova IC 500 digital camera, which includes an underwater housing good to 130 fsw!

Cool idea Frank. You're my kind of guy. It doesn't always take spending large dollars to make our lives easier.

Nice clarity on the photo, too. 99 bucks, huh?

Still 99 bucks through Amazon and Cameta Camera:

The 129 price includes some other "goodies" such as a tripod. There are some higher priced models, too, with more "bells and whistles". The basic 99 takes good video!

That $119 price includes a 2 GB memory card. You can't beat that price. This will work great for snorkeling in the keys!!!

"You can't beat that price."

Frank, 1st great cheap mod. My kind of guy. But re camera, I may have you beat. Check out this [url="http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=9604830"]Vivitar[/url] for $55.84!
OK it will only go 45', not 130' like yours. I will be lucky to go 10'.
