feederman says, On the "Directional feeder", the "Pre" cycle is so that the throwng motor can get up to full speed before dropping food to it. This helps prevent so much feed from being right in front of the feeder. The "Post" cycle is to clear the blower chamber out so that there is no feed there to get wet and rot or to attract varmints (not that they need help)

those are good thought processes and are appreciated, BUT, come on, 4 seconds for the little thrower motor to get up to speed? How about 1 sec. pre and 1 sec post. I know it seems picky, but they do suck a 4.5 AH battery dry pretty quickly. This has been a common complaint, along with, of course, the timer failure to drive the motors. I was just sent a new one recently after sending in the old one to verify the problem. Being an absentee owner, I get ill when I come to the pond and the battery is discharged. I now have a panel.
You see, feederman, there is this guy on the forum, Dr. Condello is his name. He gives me nightmares. Not only does he grow obnoxiously large bluegill, but has arms that are about 5 ft. long and he just shoves the bluegill in your face, photogenically speaking that is. Now there is this other guy, Archer who has 1# 6 oz. bluegill after only 13 months. And then there's Ewest, Cody, Lusk, Theo, even a guy in Az. Please help.
