[QUOTE="Country Dave, post: 338493, member: 10344"] [i]Hey thanks guys, O so close................................ :mrgreen: I just refuse to half *** anything or take any shortcuts. I just don't want her to start falling apart in a few mounts. I could have used some self-tapping screws to hold the retainer for the cooler straps on the side of the console but I through bolted it. Every piece of hardware on her is stainless, ever bolt, screw, nut, washer you name it. Jerry nothing gets past you brother. No you didn’t miss anything. It’s about a half inch from touching but I don’t need full tilt. In its current config the skeg is even with the bottom of the hull allowing me to poll. The bottom will hit at the same time the skeg digs in if I get to shallow. I made the bench faceplate in three sections. In the event I need to access any of the fuel lines at the tank side, I only have to drill out 3 rivets and the end plate will slide right out. Jack plate is all the way up, O by the way I didn’t go to the “Big Box Store” for the hardware I needed for the cooler hold down straps. I drove my happy *** across town to the locally owned Mc Donald hardware in Fort Lauderdale. It’s an Ace Hardware affiliate. They have everything you could imagine………………………. :mrgreen: I’m going to have the “Seadek” put on top of the cooler when I get the decks done in just a couple of weeks. Cooler fits nice in front of the console, it doesn’t stick out past the side of the console and it makes a good seat for someone to sit comfortably. [/i] [/QUOTE]
