id rather be working on my boat right now. dont get me wrong, i enjoy being in yalls forum again, reading and learning and trying to help when i can but geeze. its rained almost everyday and for sure every weekend since i got this boat! suppose to be an easy project, just hang my stuff on this...

i still see the pic in the original post but here it is again

looks real professional. good job man

its just wrong, no fuses at switch panel. i texted him a pic and tried to explain to him, not to be a di ck but because i know he is putting another boat together and he needs it to be safe. he says his stuff is right cause everything worked and when i tried to explain again he said i was wrong...

cool. as soon as im done eating this samich im gonna cut a board. ill screw the wire tank mount to the stringer like usuall. plus im gonna cut a 2x4 on a bevel to match the angle of the hull, hot coat it, then glue it to the hull longitudinally with 5200 and screw the mount down to it. and of...

red is hot, and should be on the left side, at the bottom in that picture. all the other screws on the left side, other than the "hot in" at the bottom, only purpose is to connect the fuses to the "hot bar" and energize them, no wires should be attached to those screws. the middle run of screws...

thats why i wanna put it in the bilge. on the "battery shelf", if you mean the boxes in the aft, port and stbd, it will need to be pulled out to add oil. in the bilge i can arange it so that when i open the bilge access hatch it will be right there. just unscrew the cap and poor it in. frees up...

any reason i cant/shouldnt mount my oil tank in my bilge?

cool. now lets see a pic of what that thing looks like mounted

ive always read and been told that tongue weight should be 10% 0f total weight. but i dont think there is an exact percentage formula cause very heavy trailers would put too much on the hitch and very light ones... how far back the axle assembly is will also affect more than just tongue weight...

might be the ugliest dash ever! but i got some more aluminum, ill do something with it. also got the helm in and hoses ran. dealing with some wiring issues and overthinking a couple things like where to mount ****. that slowed progress down a bit but i want it right so... not as easy as i hoped...

notched the cap so the motor would mount flush and mounted the motor. got trim tabs installed. the hole for the controls was too big so i made a plate out of some scrap 3/16 aluminum plate

does anybody ever use those things anyway? my old bayliner, years ago, had a sticker on the dash with all the horn signals. i tried signaling a few times, ya know cause i had a horn and a sticker, and people would shoot me the bird and yell obscenities at me. bout as useless as a flare gun. all...

hmmm...

id take my life jacket off for that too!

po said he knows it was hooked up right cause everything worked!

wish i had prop problems! running the prop that was on the motor on the other boat (mercury vengeance and the last 3 of the model number are 19p, so i guess it a 19pitch?) so far its done a hell of a job out there in the yard, hanging off the trailer. smh

dont mean to sound like a smarta$$ bradford, but dont do much good to put her in the water without batteries,lol. what ive got now is a hot wire lead in the starboard aft box, but no ground. and a hot and negative lead in the port box but they go to the timer switch for the livewell and splice...
