This is phidippus audax. A jumping spider. The adorable clown of the arachnid lineup.

Re: Boat Security
A couple of thoughts come to mind:
(A) Too each his own.
(B) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Oh yes, one more. When it comes to adorableness, that thing hasn't a leg to stand on

Re: Boat Security
Actually those spiders are quite amazing. They seem aware of their surroundings in a way that we don't usually attribute to insects and things like that. Except Maybe a mantis.
The ones I saw would play hide and seek with a finger and didn't seem to have much fear. Best part, several of them can fit on a quarter so they are pretty small

Re: Boat Security
Curious setup. All looks interesting.
Some components are self-explanatory.
What do you use the timer and the 12v extension for?
Also, how do you interface the horn?
