Budster, We all hope you'll stick around....I believe the point Gregt made was valid, and since he said he had the experience with the feeder as well...accurate in his experiences...
From what I know of electronics, 9, 99 seconds cycles, under load, would toast a light duty motor. I can build a car engine that puts out 100hp and it will last a long time when used lightly...or I could build a 1000hp drag car engine...and be damn happy if it lasts a quarter mile.....feel blessed if it lasted a half mile.....
I am also now considered a "Pro" in the aquatics industry, yet I have an old American hunter feeder for deer corn attached to a 55 gallon barrel on a tripod on top of a submerged island that lasted 5 years....last time I saw it...the tripod had gradually sunk and now it ain't only the island that is submerged...lol....I did mine on a budget too, and it worked for me!
