    77 Mirrocraft 14'

    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 thought I had this figured out....

    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...

    Cutting carpeted floor

    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...

    Short shaft motor on 20" transom?

    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...

    Marine Radio?

    Anyone ever install a radio on their tin? Sitting in a boat during the wee hours of the night waiting for a cat to bite would be so much more enjoyable with some tunes!

    Hopefully my last electrical question(s)

    I believe I have everything I need to put my Mirrocraft together. My last question is, should I have a switch connected to the battery that is going to power everything but my trolling motor? I have everything running into a fused switch panel and grounded into a bus. Would anyone recommend a...

    Switch panel to buss bar?

    https://www.cabelas.com/switches-fuse-blocks-marine-grade-switch-panels.shtml Hey all, Can't wait to start putting my boat together from all the great help in here. I'm confident about everything I'm doing until I get to the wiring. I want to get this panel to run everything through. I...

    Would this be a good first boat?

    Hey everyone, My friend and I have been looking at boats for over a year, and instead of spending too much money on a new one, we've decided to buy a used boat and make some mods to it. I have seen numerous boats on here where members have turned ordinary used boats into something I would...
