Message: <blockquote data-quote="jawjatek" data-source="post: 460679" data-attributes="member: 24152">Well, I drilled a hole thru the bow-facing bulkhead of the storage locker, and was able to fish the new trolling motor power feed thru there, over the pumped-in foam. I first drilled a small hole up high, but below the deck rib, and was able to get a stiff coat hanger thru there to the socket panel cutout area. So I cut the hole 1" dia. with a hole saw, and used a PVC threaded fitting as a bushing, just smeared it with 5200 and tapped it in with a rubber hammer. I fished the coat hanger back thru and used it to fish a string, then used the string to pull the wire thru. Easier than I thought. I then connected the wire to the TM socket and put the panel back on, then I screwed down my battery trays in the locker and wired it all up with a 60A Bussman wp breaker. Done.I installed the MK compass/direction sensor on the port side triangular piece of sheet metal at the rear corner (right side has the stern light socket). I was getting some compass deflection testing the area with a hand compass - turned out to be the screws holding the port rear cleat on. I took the cleat off, and will re-install it with non-magnetic screws of the same size when I find some. The screws in there were magnetized heavily, weird. System tested out and all is go.Now if this rain would go away I could get on the lake! Looks like that won't happen until Saturday. Here endeth this thread.  =D></blockquote>
