Everything is working perfectly as should! The boat was completely rewired, new fuse box, new TM & recessed TM foot pedal tray, new FF's on both front and back and lastly installed led lighting for at night. For my first bass boat, shes gorgeous! Now for those who saw this boat before i put my time into it, there was a foot of water inside the boat when i got it and most of the cables were old, shot out, black and the fuse box was completely corroded. It just made sense to fix everything the first time around. A lot of parts in the engine were replaced, but now it runs great! Enjoy..

PS: Bonus 3lb lmb from sUNDAY..

Thanks, i wouldn't necessarily call it "clean" as in not dirty but it is a ton cleaner than when i originally purchased it lol.. Other than that, I kept the boat "clean" with all of the installs which makes a huge difference... no clutter.. I just with my rod locker could fit my 7'+ rods though! lol

Hi Jerry,

Nice boat and setup.

I suggest you consider putting your transducer cable in a plastic flexible cable/wire protector. Any auto supply place will have them. You can get a spiral wrap or a split one. This will help protect the cable running up the shaft where the shaft fits between the two ears when stowed. I think mine is 3/8" or maybe 1/2".
