A couple of the toggles are piggy-backing off the switch panel such as the running/anchor lights are the white stern and the all-around lights with the top toggle lighting the bow...

    New Boat For Christmas

    Here are the pics of the wood that is all over / in my boat. This is what was the dashboard of the helm and while I'm thinking about it, no pics of this but on both sides of the stern there are two wood "pads" with eye hooks attached, no clue what they were used for. The wood has a varnish...

    New Boat For Christmas

    OH, something I forgot to mention, the electric feed wire that I was going to use has been set aside. Looked up some specs and I got the correct sized battery cables (4 gauge) and wired up the Perko switch, I've got power terminals coming to hook the primary connections so that either battery...

    New Boat For Christmas

    I've been tinkering but it's been a wee bit nippley ❄️☃️ outside last few days. I've got a new dash panel cut and first coat of poly-stain on it. I also pulled the rest of the wooden frame that the loo was mounted to, thru hulls are out so I can go get the smaller plastic one replaced and with a...

    Last night I got some of the new wiring ready, key-switch wired to a terminal bar so it can be mounted anywhere within the helm cabinet and control cable hooked up to the bar. I pulled the dash panel today to reconfigure it, right now one gauge in the upper right, another dead center, ignition...

    Yes Jim, I understand theft concern over the widespread thievery out and about in our world. What I was meaning was the 1st dolt that sent me off with the wrong form, and the Constables that showed up told me it was the wrong form causing me a 2nd 30 mile round trip (and they don't pay for gas...

    How long has Ky required trailer plates. The boat I bought from my Uncle years ago didn't have a license plate, none of his trailers had one

    Yeah, when you have folks in the tag office that know what they are doing, down here where I am I got 5 different answers from 3 different people. The last one went to "ask her supervisor" and then everything fell into place and even with that, if I had mailed everything I STILL would be waiting...

    14 Foot Jon Boat Identification

    Yeah, a 35 wouldn't be what I'd want to run every day but you'd have to have known my Uncle Art, an old country boy from Ky, back in the day could tune a car by ear, you wanted something made or fixed, just bring him the old one or describe what you wanted and he'd come up with it. He had both...

    Here in Georgia I had to get one of those metal plates issued with a serial number and notated as "homemade" even though there is a manufacturer's plate with serial number and then here is the kicker, I had to get one of the local Constables to come out and sign a form verifying that I had in...

    Transporting a 20' boat on a flatbed.

    Good luck to ya with getting it across the border. Me, I'll look at a ton of pictures, even listen to it run on a video but bottom line is I'd rather go and put my hands on whatever I'm buying then when the paperwork is signed and sealed either drive it away or in the case of my new boat, tow it...

    Boat won't move

    If not a spun prop or the others mentioned, could it be that the shift linkage is apart, separated ? I don't know what engine is in a SeaRay
