Christmas Present for your boat?

[Black Snow Slide]

My Monterey 250CR has just about everything I can think of but I still need to get her something for Christmas. I am tapping into a fresh water line and pulling it forward to the anchor locker. A wash down for the hook when pulling it from salt water or mud would be nice.

I am also replacing my galvanized plow anchor with a polished stainless steal for no other reason except for looks.

Ps. I just installed pop up cleats all around. Very nice.

What are you getting yours?

How did you install those pop up's? Seems to me you have to cut out a lot of glass. Wished the former owner opted for the pop ups for no other reason than looks. This fall I gave my Chaparral a tune-up, impeller and drive service.

Mines getting new stringers, new transom, a new deck, and some new upholstery work. Maybe a captains call exhaust if there is ant money left!

Electric flush with macerator! No more pumping and trying to teach people how to flush a marine toilet. Also a Fortress FX-11 anchor!

I first did a practice install on a piece of plywood. I made a templet of the hole I needed. Made sure all the parts and tools were available. Made sure I was happy with the final product and with its strength. Made a few minor changes before sinking a drill bit into the gel coat. I have always been a huge fan of practice installation in plywood. When the real install goes in, it is sharp and clean.

Just be careful with your girl.. I just remove a cotton wad with a string (if you know what I mean) from last time we went out.

My wife kept trying to flush the toilet and I asked what she was doing and she tried to play dumb. Now the truth comes out,

I hear ya. I have let the admiral and my daughter know that if they plug it, they get to clean up the mess I will make fixing it. Time will tell. We have little baggies and small trash can in the bathroom for that purpose.

Re: Christmas Present for your boat?

My drives are getting new seals and hopefully she'll be getting a new dash. Maybe a new wheel if I'm really lucky.
