Boat Rigging Thread.

Stole a Handi idea and got some knobs for the holder bases. This is gonna work out really well.

You keep on and excell is going to hire you to accessorize there boats. But then again maybe you have already thought of that.

I'm planning on writing a review when I get finished. I love the boat, but there are a few things they need to change their processes on.

No, the lights were not original. The first I saw was on this board and some guy did it with a kayak. I started looking around on the board and found several others doing the same thing. There is a pretty good thread on the Missouri (I think), board. Lots of times fishing after work, we end up rolling up the lines in the dark. I think this will really help. Looking to start on the rod holders next. I do have an idea on those. Going to use the drift masters to start with and work from there. I've got one thing to fix on the front sonar mount. I don't think it will take long to do that.

I'm ignoring Boar Busters comments

Thanks to the rest of ya'll

Went back and found the big led thread. It is the cranking 101 thread of led lights. On the Georgia forum

Check out this step set up. I was doing some more searching around today. Looks like it would work like a charm on your boat also and be simple. Make both steps in diamond plate and you would be styling and profiling even more than you are now. And, from what ive read I think you could do it for less than $40 total.

That install on those steps sure simplified things. I may need to look into that. I wish this stupid weather would get back to normal. The lightning has run me off my project again. I spent today licking my calf over. I hope some members are satisfied now. You know who you are To make this really annoying, I'm going to go into detail on the bungee system to hold the tips of the rods. This may be the very best part of this boat rigging.

First I disassembled the rear holder.

I then drilled the hold for the bungee and also on the bungee placed a piece of heat shrink around the cord to protect it as it passes from the inside of the tube to the outside.

Once the ball is inside the tube, I just reassembled. The fronts, I handled a little differently. My goal is to be able to lock them. I want the outlaws to work if they decide to carry off my rods while I'm in Walmart buying twinkies. My hold down piece is a 1/2 inch steel rod encased in pipe insulation. I drilled and tapped the inside end. The outside end will just insert into a hole in the tube to hold it in place. At the present, they are still not lockable.
