1991 14 FT Sea Nymph 14K

[acdc96]

I have a 1991 Sea Nymph 14K and want to install rod holders, a Humminbird 561 DI fish finder, and a navigation lights panel (Bow light & Stern light already installed and wired). Any ideas on where to put them and mount them?

I pretty much know where the fish finder is going (Middle seat, Starboard side). I want to put rod holders in but since the boat is aluminum I'm afraid of having a million little holes everywhere.
All I'm looking for is a good spot to put the navigation light switch/fuse panel? (3 switch's, 3 fuse holders) The last one i had was mounted on the transom. When I went to start the engine (9.9 Force Tiller/pull start) my Foot slipped and broke the panel right in half.
I fish in a salt marsh and fish for Bluefish/Strippers/Fluke.

Again, All I'm looking for is a good spot to put the navigation light switch/fuse panel? (3 switch's, 3 fuse holders). And any ideas on rod holders?

For the rod holders, you could use some Down-East S-10 clamp-on. Sturdy as it can be (muskies fisherman use them almost exclusively) and no need to drill anything.

For the switch/fuses panel, is there's a way you could remove (drill rivets?) or have access to the inside of the rearmost benchseat and mount it flush on the vertical side?

Yeah, that could work but is in awkward position. Thanks for the rod holder idea I'm going to purchase a couple. As for the light switch i'll keep that in mind and make a dummy switch panel and test it it out.
Thanks, saumon.
This is my boat and how it is set up.

When I did my 12ft resto, I put the switch panel on the stern side of the middle seat, facing the rear bench. Puts it within reach but enough out of the way that I wasnt hitting it

That's a GREAT idea. It's looks good in the spot and its out of the way. That's what i'm gonna do.
I like the snap lock container. LOL. Also, it's a good idea because for the most part its waterproof and airtight, plus its easy to maintain and service.
Thanks redneckpunk
