Very cool setup and here I thought Steve Jobs was the last innovator standing in America. I've got the same battery box. I attached a fixed mount West Marine VHF and mic to it and soon the Garmin 441s chartplotter. A Sunforce small solar panel to keep the battery charged. Great use of PVC!

Thanks, At first I was going to build my own battery box, Currently I have two smaller 12v batteries in the box one for Motor and one for Fishfinder, I just changed out the socket on one side for trolling motor and did some rewire and hooked up trikle charger leads to both.

I really never could find much on the way of modifications on inflatables., Waiting on a chair mount setup as well so not sure how things will layout once it arrives but have a few ideas to move things around if needed.

if that chair mount is the boatstogo frame post if its any good on here. yeah you got to hunt to see what people have done on their boats. some good stuff here on iboats. theres a guy in canada on here who has a website on inflatables. there are some pics of a box he made with attachments over the tubes for fishing. i just used the 1in rail on my rib's bimini for an adapter to hold a Shakespeare antenna. short of adding a radar arch, we do what we gotta do.

Yes I ordered the Boats to go frame, Of course not sure when it might show, really poor website and no answer on phone number, I own several web based business ventures and really get annoyed when internet orders don't have tracking shipping updates... So I'm kinda in a holding pattern until it shows to determine if I will have to do some changes to my current setup...

I got my bimini from them last year. It arrived via FedEx and I did get tracking info via email. Woman named IIya responded to a question via email once too. Anyway, when you do get the frame, post a review. Regards.

Re: Mercury 310 Rod / Fishfinder Setup

I did get a response to a email I sent, It appears they are waiting on them to come in and once it is in they will ship it to me.

I guess the website is a little off...This product arriving in stock around July 5th. You can place pre-order now, and we will ship as soon as item is in stock. I guess around is open is a bit open ended.

But I do look forward to getting item I still have not glued my rod holder together just in case I need to make some changes based on seat placement.
