I hope you have better luck with your Evos than I. I bought three of them and two will not restart after turning power off without taking them apart. I hate them!

so far they are working ok. I have been playing with the timing a little, even as far as cycling them off and on every second.

HaHa so I am sure all of you DIY freaks have seen the threads on RC on this little project so I will spare you all the boring details. If not then just zip on over there and read all 3000 pages of posts LOL.
Start with one dead Seaswirl (instead of making your own box) Thanks Christy

Add a Microwave turntable motor to the guts. Thanks Borderjumper

Add a power head of your choice. In this case I am using a seio 620 but maj change that to a MJ of some form in the future.

Make little mounting brackets for SeaSwirl to attach it to the euro bracing.

And voila! The finished product.

Here is a video of it running.

Wow, what an amazing little modification! I think your name description needs to be changed to Henry Frankenstein

That is awesome!! Glad to see you got it working. Watch for salt creep on the bottom of it, I think thats what did it in the first time (although I think I used it for about 5 years before it croaked).
