[QUOTE="Bobsbaits, post: 347714, member: 12589"] Been a little while so I figured I would catch everyone up. The maiden voyage didn't go quite as planned. I have the throttle and gear cables reversed. Made for an interesting launch. Till I got those straighten out, I had the adjustments screwed up. Long story short, I spent the day idling around because I couldn't figure it out. Thought I had it figured out and went out for my first tournament of the year the next day. I still had something wrong so I spent that day idling as well. I had all but 13 lbs of smallmouth and thought I was having a good day till I saw it took 18 lbs to win. I also discovered the seats I had were just too big. I bought them off iBoats when they had the 75% off sale. Awesome seats, but just too wide and too high. Couldn't even get the boat in reverse. Also when I put the trolling motor in the water it ran in reverse. I thought I messed up the panel when I put it in, but here the trolling motor plug was reveresed wired. All in all it wasn't too bad, everything else seemed to work ok. I've replaced the seats and added a drop in box in the front for 3600 plano boxes. Still have some odds and ends to finish like wiring and gauges but overall I everything seems to be working ok and as long as the fishing is good, I'll probably fish:) [/QUOTE]
