hmmm will check that out I didn't think there was a color palette for the mapping. Scott

Well I should throw a quick update out there. I have everything completely wired Batteries, On-board Charger, Lights, Bilge, Live Well pump, and Fish Finder. I took her out fishing for around 3 hours yesterday with out a hitch. Stable as can be and the weight didn't even bother the stability...

Maybe I'm all messed up here but when I run my Navionics in my HDS 8 the deep water is light blue and the shallow water shows dark blue. Shouldn't this be the opposite as in the deep water should be dark blue and the shallow light blue? Or is there a way to change this? Thanks for you time! Scott

Thanks all, I just picked up a 27 for the electronics and a 30 or 31 for the trolling motor should do me just fine. I also picked up a two bank 12 amp onboard charger from Cabela's. Just a heads up, Gander has a 20.00 mail in rebait on all batteries right now. Scott

Give me your ideas. I have a livewell pump, navigation lights, deck lights, bilge pump, trolling motor, radio, HDS fish finder. How many and what type of batteries would you run? I was thinking maybe a large deep cycle and a smaller battery to conserve weight. No charging off my out board as...

If I get a 2 bank charger can I run a large deep cell for trolling and a smaller battery for my electronics. I guess I'm asking if I can have two different size battery's connected to the banks as long as there both 12 volt? Thanks! scott

Still need to finish some carpet around inside rail and front of back deck but here are some pics I had fun with the paint today..LOL

Well worked on some more decking issue's and started carpeting today and installed the hatches. Here is a pic will post more tomorrow after a good days work on it. Need to carpet the inside lower portion and I'm also going to carpet around the upper inside lip just to finish it off nice. I think...

Just remember the rivets holding the live well in are not structural at all so you don't have to do anything fancy. Scott

OK now it all makes sense thanks for the replies. I would hate to have to go in reverse all day....LOL Scott

I installed a live well pump in the transom of my boat. I didn't connect it to any power or anything and wanted to just make sure I had no leaks so I drooped it in the lake and the water just flows right through the pump into my boat...LOL Can you say big leak..LOL Anyway I thought that these...

The legs are not connected to the deck that is why I choose this style. I am able to move them around in any position or move them out of the way completely. I'm going to install flush mount rings on the decks under the seats to connect a small tie down strap from them to the seats so they don't...

Picked up the hatches from Cabelas. They had the grey ones on the shelf when i was there so it worked out great. They are nice and sturdy you can walk right on them with no problems! Scott

The seats are regular fishing seats and on the bottom of them there are the four screw holes, these line up with the four screw holes in the top of the seat bases as they are made for fishing seats. I just installed one of those fishing chair swivels in between seat and base. Scott

Well took her out for a test spin today before carpeting, wiring etc. I was very surprised by how it sat and performed in the water. I do believe it is more stable then prior to the decking. I think the weight sets it in the water further and therefore there is a wider part pushing against the...

There your normal fishing seats with the swivels underneath. However I found the bases at cabelas so I mounted them on the swivels instead of the normal pole system.

I sure hope after all this work that she is stable enough. Me and my fishing partner stood on the seats last year and it wasn't to bad. I don't know, I'm starting to second guess myself..LOL I guess I need to drop it in the lake this weekend before I carpet so I will know for sure! scott

Thanks for this info I just recieved two in the mail in black that I ordered from them. Scott

Grind off the tops and tap through with a punch or Philip's head screw driver and hammer. Scott

Thanks for the comments. The stock live well comes out so easy. Just unscrew the pcv drain in the bottom and grind the tops off the 4 rivets in the bottom and she lifts right out. (have to bang the rivets through the hull first). Build new box set in place drill hole for drain and 4 new rivets...
