I thought about doing something similar on my rebuild. In the end, I used pink foam sheet above the ribs and pour foam on top of that…. I have pictures on my rebuild post https://www.tinboats.net/threads/northwood-1675-dlx-fisherman-rebuild.50296/ Works well for my build as it allows for good...

Sorry to ask you here, Thill… but I am going to order the same kit for my PD2. Any issues with ordering through Trolling Motors Parts? I am trying to decide between TMP or Notthland Marine as far as ordering. Thanks and I appreciate you posting these questions

I installed a LiTime, 12V, 100ah compact the beginning of last year. Dimensionally, fits where my previous 12V lead was at. I installed a volt meter specifically for my TM and this battery set up. I would use it 6-8hours per day… never discharged even close to 50percent capacity… it is a great...

I thought I would post a mid-summer update on this build. We have had the boat on the lake quite a few times. Fortunately, everything functions as it should! There are no leaks, mechanical, or electrical issues at all. I did have to put some ballast weight on the left side of the boat early in...

Beautiful work! Quite the transformation 👍

Thank you! I certainly learn a lot from this forum. I am in the process of changing front battery compartment. I was able to find a LiFePO4 100aH in a mini size. The footprint is similar to a group 24, so it should fit in the compartment I made. This battery is solely for the trolling motor...

Very nice job 👍.

Thank you for the kind words. Yeah… the wiring took a bit of thought for me as the starting battery is in the stern and the trolling battery/ charger are in the bow. Then again…it certainly is easier to re-wire an empty hull.
