    Livewell Water Direction

    well my goal is to be able to fill my livewell and aerate it as need be. My biggest concern was how to get the water out at the end of the day without putting another hole in it. if i turn my pump off that brings water in the boat will it back flow through it? I am confused on why no one has...

    Livewell Water Direction

    So I am redoing my 1648 NCS alumacraft and am putting in a live well. However I hate putting holes in the side of my boat!! I have made a diagram and was wondering if you guys would take a look and tell me if it will work. I just don't want to put two holes next to each other on the same side...

    Aluminum framing

    What size angle aluminum will support people while make flush decks with the boats platform. I have seen it on here a bunch, they make sweet compartments out of all the open space in the boat by framing with angle aluminum. I was just curious if i make something similar that could hold 2 or 3...

    24V System

    So I bowfish at night and run a 74lb thrust bow mounted minn kota on my 1648 mv jon boat. I was wondering if placing my batteries in series for the 24v system will increase my AH at all. Both my batteries are 100AH group 31 marine batteries. I want to be able to run my tm for at least 8 hours if...

    Battery Weight Distribution Project

    I guess what I'm saying is maybe the hull you have is not the best Hull for what your trying to do with it, and The instability that your feeling when walking towards the gunnels is a negative effect of it. Will adding pods tip the bow lower to the water? Never owned a boat with pods, in...

    Battery Weight Distribution Project

    The main box is hard wired where its at so it would not be able to drop down for the test, plus im in wisconsin so there is still ice on the water. Thats why I came here to see if anyone has experience in this so I can work on this before the season starts. To the gentleman who talked about the...

    Battery Weight Distribution Project

    Yeah that why i was hoping by putting the batteries to the floor that it would be more distributed that being higher up, Unfortunately with the modified v i feel that plays a roll as well by lifting the other side out of the water rather that a true flat bottom. I am going to look into an...

    Battery Weight Distribution Project

    If I add flotation pods will that tip the front of my boat towards the water, as you know I bowfish off of this boat and have issues with how close the bow can sit to the water! Never had Floatation pods so curious if that will tilt the boat

    Battery Weight Distribution Project

    I have group 31 deep cycle marine batteries, I know it is a lot of weight but for some reason once I get two adults on the bow of the boat we still sit only 5 or less inches from the water, that was when I tested it with just two batteries. That's why I set up two more batteries in back to...

    Weight Distribution Batteries

    So I have a 1648 NSC alumacraft and I find that the bow of my boat with my aluminum deck seems to be tippy when I am near the sides of it. I was wondering if this is because of where my batteries sit right now. In the picture provided there are red boxes and black boxes. My batteries which are...
