All that dreading and planning for nothing. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I pulled it through to the sole, then through the grab bar, then into the console and pulled it all tight. I even realized I forgot wires for the charger and got the fish tape through with no problem and pulled t...

Time for some wiring...I've been both looking forward to and dreading this for a while. . .I didn't know if I could get it through and into the grab bar and into the console. Here goes. It's about this big with a tranducer cable, nmea cable, power and ground for 5 switches, and phone charger. http:/...

I just had to fix a strongback leg where it finally worked loose where a leg attaches to my strongback from me pushing it in and out of the garage so much. That thing is very light right now. It won't stay that way. Believe me you don't...

Tom,
Shoot I'll go gigging and shrimping at night. One of the main things I want to do is go gigging at night on mine. You're only 80 miles from me. Just say when...

I'm also interested in seeing what folks say about the nmea cables.

Man that thing is looking good Tom!
