RE: THE FIELD BOX FROM HELL! aka The Ultimate Field box!
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">What a cool thread from 2002!I want to thank Billy Hell for the idea and all the others who have contributed to this thread. I am new to the sport and I finally finished my ultimate field box. I bought the box last summer at Home Depot for $30 you can see pictures of the box when I bought it in my previous thread back on page 22 or 23. I wanted my power panel in the upper box so it would be easier to reach, but I wanted my battery in the lower section to keep the weight down low so the box wouldn't want to tip so easy. My solution was to use the banana plugs and some test leads from Radio Shack to connect the power from the bottom section to the top box on the left side. I also installed a power switch so I could kill the power when I wasn't using the panel or when I needed to separate the two boxes. I also added a set of banana plugs on the front. This allows me to charge the battery directly from these plugs without having to run through the panel. I can also connect my starter to these plugs and have a direct connection to the battery with heavier wire than the panel had. Next I wanted my fuel pump on the front because I don't like the idea of having it inside with the fuel but I wanted to be able to control the pump from the panel. So I used another set of banana plugs on the right side and then soldered the wire to the back of the power panel so I didn't have to plug directly into the front of the panel to use my pump. I originally wanted to use the fuel jug that the fuel comes in but it was too tall so I used my Dave Brown fuel can which is shorter and already had the ports for the fuel line built in. I had enough room to leave my Dave Brown six shooter manual pump attached to the can so if my electric pump quits then I still have my manual pump with me. This was a fun project and I am really pleased with the results. I think this will serve me well for some time.</div>
