More sanding with a little 180 grit. Many hours later, old glue was gone. I got a little crazy without doing any research and i poly resined and glass matted my decking in an attempt to water proof it and stiffen it up. Two days later i discovered on line that poly resin dosent mix well with wood........weeeelp. I knew i wanted to add a new trolling motor and a light bar so i went ahead and mocked everything up. I had a heck of a time trying to figure out how to run the set up i wanted, while having absolutely no room to work with up in the bow area. I finally decided i was going to have to offset the trolling motor, and raise it up so that it would clear my light bar when being lowered. I built a trolling motor mount out of oak that i later epoxied for water proofing. I realize that the offset trolling motor is not the best idea for straight line tracking, but i had to make sacrifices for what i wanted. The trolling motor is a 45lb. hand tiller minkota edge. The original minn that i took off of the boat was a 25lb. thrust that would only work in coves on windless days. The 45lb. thrust should be much better. I like running trot lines so the off set hand tiller will work for times when im by myself. I also mounted a new bow running light.</p></blockquote><p></p>
