[QUOTE="pberrett, post: 59547, member: 2077"] I'm close to finishing my build but have a couple of other questions. I've been looking around for a suitable pole to mount the unit on but most of the ones i have seen which would be good (eg mops) have metal poles. Some are really good and are extendable. Would a metal pole be a problem and interfere with the unit or does it not matter because it is not moving relative to the coil? Similarly the joint that connects the pole to the coil housing will probably need a metal bolt. Is this a problem? Also I need to find a waterproof container to hold my coil. Any ideas? Finally what is the best depth anyone has gotten with a stock (unmodified) Surf Pi 1.2? [/QUOTE]
