[QUOTE="Stevum, post: 522676, member: 36924"] Grummy, Wow, that is one super clean looking outfit & congratulations on the low priced score. It's the little things like the conduit to protect your wiring that really makes it obvious you took some time to plan things out. I like the fact that your battery & fuel tank are located a decent distance apart from each other... really helps heighten the safety factor. Also, having the fire extinguisher mounted forward is a common sense plus, I've seen too many set ups where the extinguisher is placed right next to the fuel. That makes it a little dicey to have to try & reach through flames, undo the retaining strap or clip & then try & grab a hot extinguisher. If I may humbly make 1 suggestion I would purchase an a 10' length of 1.5" PVC & cut it to length to match the gunwale support where the anchor rope runs & either unscrew 1 end of the support & slide the PVC on or split it lengthwise to it to act as a roller to protect your anchor rope from fraying. For the split method a $10 heat gun from HF works wonders. Then you can use the remaining PVC to make cheap, highly effective rod holders for trolling. With the heat gun & a bottle of soy sauce you can create some pretty neat flared rod holders that work great. Be safe & tight lines to you. Stevum [/QUOTE]
