I don't have a boat, but buoyancy is what keeps vessels afloat. :p
Even dumber are smart phones. But the lithium batteries make neat noises and flames when you drill holes in them and toss them in water. :awe:

computer controlled bilge pump is what is keeping your boat afloat.

Haha it's a little more involved than that.
Bilge water is not even dischargeable under current environmental laws. It must be treated first.

unless you are using a handpump :awe:

Speaking of handpumps that reminds me of a hand crankable peristaltic pump from the 70s. They were called jack rabbit pumps and were really popular with gas thieves in the late 70s when gas prices skyrocketed. :D

Peristaltic pumps are neat. They work on the principle of squeezing a section of hose to create suction lift. :eek:

Even if the accepting boss' length exceeds the pcb overall thickness and there is partial protrusion this certainly does not exempt the use of impingement protection! Even a simple fiber washer is better than nothing! Just because you wrench it down and it bottoms on the boss does not mean the pcb is adequately protected. The traces are very thin and resist is not a physical barrier to impinging mounting hardware. This kind of of damage is 99% fatal to the motherboard and never covered under warranty.

It's always better to be safe than sorry. ;)

Yep, already dug out my washers and have them ready for when I get the replacement parts.

If you are a man and your index finger is longer than your ring finger then you are a reverse trap.
