I measured out from the bank 5-1/2' and drove a 2-7/8" tubing pipe into the pond with a post hole driver about 4' deep and with 4' stick up above the water line at highest level.
Next I took a 1/2" 24" x 24" steel plate and welded a 2.5' long 2-3/8" tubing in the center of the plate. I then slipped the 2-3/8" tubing inside of the 2-7/8". The ID of the 2-7/8" tubing is 2.44" and the OD of the 2-3/8" 2.375".
Then I took another piece of 2-7/8" tubing and placed it across the center of the plate sticking out 5' over the water and 5' stick up back toward the opposite end and welded it in place.
Next I welded me a frame out of angle iron that would hold the Texas Hunter feeder inside of it and welded that on the end of the 2-7/8" tubing that would be over the water.
When I want to fill the feeder, I take the end toward the bank and spin the feeder from over the water and then over the bank. I fill the feeder and then spin back over the water.
I then then took a torch and cut me a hole through & through both pieces of tubing and slid a pin in it to keep the feeder from spinning.
This keeps the animals from getting to my aquamax and prying eyes from eyeballing my feeder with less than desirable intentions as they pass by. Oh, and I have a pad lock on the pin in case some coon gets smart enough to slide the pin out and spin the feeder back to the bank. lol...
