It's been a couple of weeks since i've updated. I've been working, just been lazy uploading pics and updating the thread.
I taped off the gunnels and rolled out my non skid. I'm extremely happy how it came out.
I went ahead and re-installed the hardware on my stern rigging/storage boxes.
I installed flush mount cleats and the gunnel rod holders
I installed flush mount cleat and flush mount pop up bow light, which also got pre-wired
I had to cut a 4 inch access hole to be able to get to my fuel fill and vent.
I put a pvc sleeve in my rear bulkhead to feed my fuel line through. This is for the fuel line that will feed the engine. It has to make its way to the stern, and this was the simplest way. The sleeve helps protect from chafe and also protects the wood from water intrusion. I loaded it up with 5200
I cut up some rubber strips for the tank to rest on. I then 5200 them to my solid fiberglass tank slats
I dropped the tank into place
I epoxied/screwed a piece of 3/4 marine plywood to all 4 of the tank mounting locations. After i dropped the tank in, i shimmed it up with some scrap pieces of startboard and screwed through the tank tab, the starboard, and into the wood
No pictures but all hoses got stainless clamps, 2 at each end. Likwise, the fill gets grounded to the tank, and the tank will be grounded to a common ground. I pre-ran my tank sending wires as well
