    I know that is the truth. I've used it for everything. I like the holes in the track on both ends so a stock carriage bolt can be used as a fastener.

    Thanks.

    After a couple years of fishing this rig, I thought I would get around to adding a couple more options. My intentions were to have have done this some time ago, but I've been putting it off. Since I was going to be adding a new sonar unit, I thought I would get myself in gear and add some "central air". No, it won't keep you cool on those hot summer days, but it will keep those minnows aerated without a person having to listen to the hammering of the air pump the whole time you fish. Here is the start, and I'll add other pictures as I go along. It is simply running air lines to the front and rear of the boat and adding a 12 volt dual output aerator under the console. Here is the console, and sonar wiring ripped out getting ready to make the additions and changes.

    Here is the brass air fitting for the front mounted on the front switch panel.

    A little progress being made. The stainless valves are ordered so I can mix and match my air to the front and rear as needed.

    Why in the world would you tear apart the dash. You know air lines don't need to be run there. Well since the question was asked while I was working on the boat, I decided to add a wireless remote to the live well. It seems that we always start fishing without filling it up and need to make a trip back to the console to turn it on. The wire is run, just waiting on parts to come in. The fall project is nearly complete except for waiting on a few parts and changing the transducer on the trolling motor.

    Added "ported live well drain tube so the live well will not overflow if a fish gets stuck on the top.

    Thanks Mike. I did get the projects finished and now have "central air",a wireless remote on the live well, and the 1199 all installed. Ready to get it out and go fishing, but other duties are holding me back at this point. Hopefully things will let up in a few days.

    Man it would be much easier as well as way less expensive to use Southern Pro Tubes and forget minners all together little buddy . Man you ever sell that boat they will need an electronics guru to fix anything .
