Hey thanks guys, I may have stumbled upon some more build pics on a different camera that I'll try to get up. My driver is Kasey Kahne. I finally decided to follow NASCAR in 2004 which just happened to be Kasey's rookie year. He was driving a red dodge, as was I at the time, so it just...

Hey Everyone, I didn't think about taking a bunch of pictures during the rebuild of my Mirrocraft, and most of the ones I did take have been lost. I did find a couple that I wanted to post though, in appreciation of all the info I learned on Tinboats. Without this resource, the boat would...

I was pulling some straps on my boat cover one night just as it started to rain, and one of the straps was coming up just a few inches short. I was pulling as hard as I could, and you guessed it, it broke. Not realizing I was pulling directly at my face, when the strap broke, my fist flew...

https://www.basspro.com/Boss-Audio-Systems-MCK-1305-AM/FM/MP3-Marine-Digital-Media-Receiver-with-Speakers/product/10215410/230696 I just installed this one a couple days ago on mine. Speakers are more than loud enough. Purchased along with a waterproof housing, I only have $110 invested.

Thanks Gramps, This is nearly identical to the one I have hooked up now. https://www.amazon.com/Invincible-Marine-4-Switch-Breaker-Switches/dp/B005XWM6HA/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1334656307&sr=8-14 I have bow and stern lights wired to it now. Also in the boat will be a bilge pump, 12V...

I've got my boat wired with all accessories wired into a fused switch panel and grounded to a buss. I also have a 20A manual reset circuit breaker between the battery and panel. I was worried that the fuses in the panel were too big and wouldn't protect my devices, so I ordered a fuse panel...

Thanks so much, guys. I would'nt have thought about cutting the carpet correctly, and the tempress hinges are exactly the ticket! Thanks again!

I need to cut out some compartments in my carpeted floor to allow for more storage. My fear is what the cutting will do to the edges of the carpet. On some members boats I have seen a plastic lip that seems to outline the compartment. I was thinking this would be the best way to cover up the...

Thanks guys, I kind of feared that. Ive got a 45 lb MinnKota Traxxis, I was just hoping I could find a cheaper alternative than buying a ls motor. Sixgun, what are you asking? :wink:

Hi all, My boat has a 20" inch transom. I will be primarily fishing an upground reservoir so I won't need a bunch of speed, just something to push me around. I have access to a 4hp Evinrude short shaft. Is there a bracket I can buy to allow the Evinrude to work? Do I have any options...

I use a fused switch panel and a bus bar. Ground your battery to the bus and your switch to the bus. Run your accessories hot wires into the switch and ground them to the bus. I was pretty nervous at first, but once you lay everything out, and have a diagrammed plan, it all comes together...

I've always used the wire with the lettering on it as the hot wire, and grounded the other.

Tons of awesome advice given. The main point I would reiterate is practice and don't get discouraged! I now have 4 different styles of Abu Revos, after nearly giving up a year ago!

I will be, for now, powering my 14' Mirrocraft with a 45lb Minn Kota Traxxis on the transom on a 640 acre reservoir. Now for the novice question. Does it matter how low the prop sits in regards to the back of the boat? As always, thanks in advance to all the members who have helped my dream of...

Bass Pro has some really good sub $100 models and Abu Garcia has a Revo S at $129. I wouldn't recommend trying to find one too cheap, as it will be harder to learn on, and you will have a lot of birdsnests which will discourage you from baitcasters...

If I can recall, your assumption on the models is correct. I have this years SX with the red on it and it seems exactly the same as last years. I too have not had a chance to get it on the water, but casting in the yard is a dream! Virtually no nests and casts many different weights. I love...

I've got a 77 as well and if yours was the same model, I wanted to see what all you have done to it.

ENIRB What model is your '77?

I have a contact at Mirrocraft I can set you up with that has sent me great info on my '77 Mister Musky. If you want, PM me and I'll forward his info to you.
