    trolling motor receptacle location

    I completely gutted my front deck in my current boat and built a larger one with storage. This made it easy to install a trolling motor receptacle on the front deck as I had access to the under side. I'm considering purchasing a new weldbilt and I'm not really interested in doing a lot of deck...

    Alternatives to carpet - Mats or similar padding?

    Switch Panels witout fuses
