    Anchors on Jon Boats

    I keep mine put away and then just tie it off to a cleat if I am using it, This way I can put it where I want it and not be forced to have it at the same spot. Depending on wind and current I like to choose where I drop the anchor.

    Switch Panel Question

    I think you wanted something like this right? The blue is the hot going to the accessory and then you need a negative still from the battery for each. But after making that I would tell you that I don't think its a good idea to wire the trolling motor to one of those switches, they use alot...

    Well its all done, we had it out yesterday and everything worked great.

    Carpet thickness....

    Very good reminder and also if you use the contact cement to glue the carpet down its also water resistant, so its just more protection.

    Carpet thickness....

    I was going 1/4" less on each side there was carpet, you only need to account for the backing since the plush will just smash up against the side making for a nice tight finish. I got mine from Home Depot online nice carpet and good price. Heres the carpet I got its a 20' roll...

    Bumpers on Aluminum Boats?

    I was actually thinking about this and the fact that ropes from anchors and dock lines could rub my new paint off and found these was thinking about just putting them down both sides of the boat on the rails...
