    PHEW.....Tuesday was a rough one for the boat I broke my boat guide on the trailer then I broke my battery shut off switch then on the way home my wiring was hanging on the ground. Got it all fixed back up and ready to go. On the bright side we caught tons of fish.

    Tested the boat guides on Saturday and they worked awesome didn't even need to use my winch. I think I'll make a little video of it next time I go out and post it. The led lights I added work great when it's dark out for guiding purposes. I may add a piece of flat aluminum for support on the...

    Here's some pics of the trailer guides I made they are only partially done I'm in the process of wiring up some small LEDs that will be installed powered by a lithium battery I can turn on at night if needed since I unplug my trailer lights when I launch and load. I also made a little deal for...

    I don't have any pics of the bracing but I ran 2"x4"s width wise threw the boat. I used card board for templates for the 2x4's. I also put water proofing on all the 2x4's before installing. I will try and make a drawing later today to show further details.

    navionics app

    Here a screen shot as it appears on my phone. There's tons of options and it works even without cell coverage. Between this my graph and my gps I have my bases covered.

    navionics app

    I downloaded the navionics iPhone app yesterday and it is awesome I would highly recommend it. The only thing you need is a cell phone charger onboard to maintain your battery. Two thumbs up.

    1978 sylvan 14ft project

    Can't believe it took me 4 years to change from the transom mount. Took fishing to a whole new level even on the test session the other day. I did remanufacture the mount that goes between the boat and the motor. I'll post some updated pics tomorrow. I also made the handle more sturdy and made...
