The vhf is a home run I ran. I will put a on/off switch on the radio and a on /off switch at the battery.

I don't think so. It does have an NMEA connection to my charplotter. The chartplotter is removed from it's base when the boat is out of the water. That breaks the connection there. Bottom line I have to get an On/Off switch by the battery!

Ok, "short" was the wrong choice of words. "Draw" would be more like it. The radio is off. But when I hook up my power cables to my battery I get a small arc. When I remove the fuse to the radio and hook up to the main cable to the house battery there is no arc. If I have to I will put the...

Hello, I'm setting up a new to me boat. One of the first things I did was replace the fuse block with a Blue Sea Screw Terminal Blade Fuse Block. I didn't track down each wire I just switched everything over. THEN, I newly installed my VHF on it's own run directly to the fuse block. When I...

Maybe this was meant to be. For where I fish the Lund was pushing it. I have the 25hp off of it and am thinking of building one of these I know,, not exactly tin, lol, but it might be much better suited for where I fish. My tin was a one man fishing machine. But that was it. One man. The...

I am crushed. Mutha nature dropped a tree on me during the blizzard. Needless to say I'm not a happy camper. A total loss. Moving on, I was wondering what you all think I might get for the decking I made for this boat. It was removed at the end of the season and is safe. As you see in...

That shine is pretty nice. For what it's worth,,, I e-mailed LUND last year asking what to use to shine up my boat. Their reply was nothing. They said the oxidation protects the aluminum. What do I know,,,

It will be a few months before I get to this ,,but I will post pics in the spring. stay tuned

I was actually thinking pvc AND ram. Most of my fishing I'm standing up, and I hate bending over to look at the plotter.

Hello,, I was wondering what ideas other people have used for mounting their chartplotters. I have a sliderG5 mounted on a small pedestal. I just purchased a Humminbird 798ci HD Si :D I want to mount it in a way that gets it up a bit so I can see it. I was thinking of using a piece of 4'' or...

Hi Jim, Starting this thread in Nov might be tough :wink: I'll report action from the North River and Plymouth area when next season comes around.

Oops, I thought I posted the finished boat. It came out great! Batteries under middle seat. Two for TM One for house. Slider G5 (Picture taken after the others) Lights, Livewell: Can only fish two people with the livewell in the boat. Very tight. If I take the wife and two dogs out I...

I will be in Truro in August. A little late I know. I didn't think one week in the salt would be bad.Wrong?

Hello, I have a 14' Lund with a 25hp. I am going to be renting a place next summer on Cape Cod. (Ma). The rental is right on the water. There are not any moorings at the rental. And unfortunately the nearest boat ramp is probably 6 or so nautical miles away. I have seen people temporarily...

Thanks for the suggestions. I like the snap bushings... I hate to have to buy 100 tho! Planted the idea tho,, I'll look aroung local for those. Thanks

I need to cut some holes for my electrical wires to pass thru,,, What do you all use as grommets to protect the wire from chafing on the aluminum? Thanks

Hello, I thought I would throw this out there,hoping one of you has already done the math for me. I am going to make some rod holders for my boat using wood frame and sch 40 1-1/2" pvc pipe. The top and bottom piece of wood are not drilled thru at the outside diameter of the pvc to hold it in...

I knew that was coming,, generic picture,,, i did get the same brand breaker,,,

Lol, nice catch. Have to get the reading glasses, lol.

Hello, Just recieved a 50 amp breaker for my TM batteries and a 30 amp for my main. My question is... which post goes to the battery side? Copper or silver? :oops:
