[QUOTE="smackdaddy53, post: 308268, member: 10154"] I got my motor mounted today and got a pretty good idea on how far back my tunnel should extend past my transom. It is a great feeling to see the motor mounted, next is laying out my deck to see where my console, ice chests and platform should go so I can figure out how many and where my hatches should go. How many of you have used the Tempress hatches and how do you like them? If they are not great, what is a good waterproof hatch? I know cheap stuff isnt good and good stuff isnt cheap so let me have some ideas if you have some hatches you like. I am kicking around the idea of one custom hatch in the rear to access the transom and at least six more on the deck. I have 14" between my stringers and as wide as the boat is to mount them. I got to thinking about my fuel line, wiring, throttle and shifter and where thry are going to penetrate the deck under the console and come back out in front of the motor...on a flush deck I imagine a short piece of 2x2 aluminum square tubing welded to the deck under the console and coming out in front of the motor would be ideal...anyone have the same idea/pics of their boat? I know someone has done this but can't find pics of it. U have seen the rubber "boots" that slip over the cables but only in fiberglass boats. [/QUOTE]
