As my wife and I have to be away from the ranch and pond for up to 6 weeks at a time with our job, I built my own 30 gallon (approx 150 lbs of feed) scatter feeder out of a Remington game scatter unit. It is digital and (Harbor Freight 15 watt/ 1 amp) solar powered. I have it anchored in the pond on floats for now (a hassle to fill) but will soon build a deflector shield and mount it off the new dock. Cheap to build, and very efficient.
