    Default My Lowe ST195 DC rigging


    As stated in other post(s), I got my first boat. Starting out with clean slate and thought I would document rigging it in hope of getting feedback and suggestions...

    Took an idea for boat cover from CDC to support cover I got from Academy. Trying to prevent rain water from collecting on cover. Will see how it works. Think cover fits pretty well.
    Ordered some tarp clips and will use to tighten up a few spots.

    Cover is 600 denier material. Hopefully it will last a few years. Using pool noodles on windshields to minimize sharp edges.

    That's enough for today... Going to install rod holders for spider rigging next...

    Looking good so far. Nice looking boat. Does that mount for your transducer have it's own built built kick up?

    Yes, it pivots on top pin and ridges on side lock it in place...

    Nice work and boat, I've used the "stern saver" on my tracker, and it's still there after two-three yrs, guess its gonna stay on now. LOL
    GO BIG ORANGE !

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    Looks really good and I like your xducer for SI mount. Don't for get to reverse your image. Looks like it is the reverse of normal install but maybe not.
