[jorgeinmiami]

Was bored and I moved the boat under shade to do some electrical
My wife thought I was leaving to the water with out her..LOL
I sure she is checking bank account to see what I bought.....LOL

[Blue197320]

looks like its almost ready

[jorgeinmiami]

And with the sun the way it beats down on us I don't know if to get the leaning post or the T Top 1st?

Thinking of using this guy for the leaning post

He's on the west coast but the T Top should be someone that I either take the boat to or comes out and measures

[jorgeinmiami]

Does anyone that has taken off the floor of a MA or SF know the route of the wires for the Nav lights up front?

I see the there are some in the cut out on the floor under the console but which way do the make there way up front?

Or is it easier to just go with new ? and whats the best route to take.

It looks like just for 2 wires it's going to be a mission

Wow. I thought my center console was rough.

Mine has the fantastic railing, but rather than a half cubby, it is cut out and has an insert for instruments. I plan on a diamond plate locking cover.

It looks like it had plexi glass doors that spaned the console but I change it
I want to flush mount the electronics on the right side and have a "glove/storage area" on the left but the grab bar limits my choices.

Thinking I could do the plexi doors but just on the left side, I still have most of the teak so I would only need the bottom piece

Opinions???

I was also working on the trailer.
I eliminated the rear center roller and moved the bunks in so the it would support the hull and centered it also, I plan to get a piece that would protect the hulll with the rear cross member and attach it there.

Next I had already installed the battery switch and placed the batteries under the console and will finihed hooking up the batteries to the switch

I have an appointment to take the engine to have the lower unit worked on as it is leaking fluid around the prop shaft most likely the seals are bad

Then I plan to hook up at least one bilge pump and take it for a run just to see what happens.

I did t take yp the deck but i did rewire the. Ow light the wire rad under the deck from the right side of the console and up to the bow theought the hull and above the rod holder rack

[jorgeinmiami]

So digging that wire out or pulling a new one withh the old
I willl just run a duplex marine back thru the chase and then under the gunnel to the light
40 ft of wire for a light I will use once maybe

Why kill an hour

jorge look at the t top on my boat. a guy builds them in his backyard. its a great price and it only takes 2 days.

[jorgeinmiami]

Well I connected the electrical to the 2 bilge pumps and the live well pump yesterday before it rained

It's been raining here in Miami for the last few days so anything done has to be in between the rain

So even though it's not 100% done I can splash it for a short run.

I put 6 gals of gas in the tank and went to start it up to do the decarb and it would crank but not run. Checked the racor filter bulb and it was full of water Damm!!

well thanks fully I had only a little gas/water in the tank and I got that out and then to look for the way the water got in.

Found that the seal to the sender was bad and since I had not sealed the plate the goes above it in order to connect the gas guage the rain of the last few days let the water in.

put some freash gas and did the decarb ...all well on that and the smoke was great for the mosquitoes

I will take care of that today and weather permitting maybe go for a short run today

Still need some electrical to do today
