    Default I've been workin' on my boat


    I've been passing these cold days working on my boat. New electronics, redid the winch mount, livewell timer, new prop and built a dry box for it. I bought it last fall, it's a 1860 Triton with a 90 HP Yamaha two stroke. I finished the electronics install today, a new HDS-8 with a LSS-1 and a Elite 5 DSI on the bow. I made a mount for the DSI unit to get it up where it's easy to see, I'm getting old :D. The boat didn't have much storage so I made a dry box for it too, painted it today. I still have to clean the mess in the boat up. Here's a couple photos.

    Looks like a lot of thought went into the project. I like the idea of raising the fish finder, my eyes are like yours. My gun/rod/dry box gets a little moisture from condensation off the reels and water splashing, I have to open it occasionally to let it "dry" out. I needto get some rod holders for my boat (and to learn how to slow troll better lol). I hope you really enjoy the fruits of your labor!
