Re: Eric's C21
I am in the process of purchasing the C21 kit. Although this is my third boat build - 16' skiff with 20hp & 20' tandem sea kayak - I am definitely in the novice category and will enjoy the needed advice of those with expertise. I am especially looking for guidance on how to stub out all of the cables from the console to the motor. and choice of fuel tank and it's installation. I have no clue on either of these two and I'm sure as I move along. I am a one many show and will do the build alone. Thanks ahead for any feedback. Bruce

Re: Eric's C21
Welcome to the forum. Having experience with the materials used is a great advantage. Routing chases, plumbing and electrical are all opportunities to scratch your head and think about what will be best for you. I have some pictures of installing my tanks here, app.php/gallery/search/self/7Bruce Freeman wrote: ↑Tue Mar 07, 2023 9:53 am I am in the process of purchasing the C21 kit.

Re: chase tubes, I was told early on the wider is better. I have run all of my controls, steering and wiring harness through one run of 4" pvc with ease. I also gave myself a 2" run on the port side which has only been used thus far for a 6 gauge wire from the battery switch to the fuse panel in the console. Will also use this for x-ducer cable.

Re: Eric's C21
Welcome to the Forum Bruce. If you want to save some time and money Eric has his C21 build up for sale. Sorry Bruce just found out Eric sold his C21.
