I have put the GOOP on and it makes like a turtle shell. Now I had painted it and like to know, should I put on a protective coating, like lacquer or poly coating? Just to let everyone know that make sure when using that GOOP, it pours and paints real nice just make sure you get all the air...

Thanks, so far the cost of painting this one is quit expensive so far! I done the patching with the Metal-Lab and then used GOOP 5400060 by Coat-It Epoxy Sealer Adhesive Kit - 8 lb can. This left the bottom smooth and then seal all the little spots I missed or just wanted to give me more...

Not really sure on the make by the photo, but my semi V is similar in shape and style. My boat is a 1973 14' Semi - V Hull Grumman.The best way is to look at your registration. It has to have some kind ID to be registered in you state. I use to live in NJ and I had a similar problem the ID was...

I made a big mistake thinking of mounting a live well and then drilling 2 holes for drain and fill holes fittings. Well the fittings are leaking and I had to use my bilge pump more then I ever done. The hull is Fiberglass and plywood, so my problem is how to fill the hole I drilled, then...

Thanks bassboy1 and everyone else. I had fixed the transducer that way with wire ties and made sure they don't move. As for the batteries, that is just what I done last night. Went fishing this morning and used the motor after I charge it all day. But that thank you all. Dennis

believe it is a single bank charger.What I do know is, it has 2 amp, 6 amp & 12 amp charger! Dennis

I agree with you about the batteries, I charged them by discnnecting the wires like you stated. As for the transducer wire, I have the motor in the storage position and I put wire ties from the motor to the adjusting ring. I found out one thing don't undue the ring onthe shaft. The motor...

Well I have a Minn Kota 70# Edge bow mount foot contol. My problem is should disconnect wires or can I charge the batteries together with my charger? This is my set up diagram system>. Also another thing running my cable down the shaft for my transducer, I have already tried wire ties, when I...

Well I finished the livewell and I used some things that is not conventional to the rest of yours! I have a pump that circulates the water and I'm using a washing machine hose for the water connections! I lost the bottom of the pump and had to use something or go out and spend more money! I...

Thank you all for the information and a big thanks to Perchin for your input.. I finished the cooler and now hooking up the wires and the switches and it will be done! So thanks everyone! Denis

I looked at all different types of portable Live Wells, so I decided to stick with a portable type. I can't move the console unless I do more modefications done. The cooler won't fit in between the console and the bench! The front bench has 2 batteries for the T/M and depth finder!So that is out...

Perchin, I have dicided to make it a portable not a permament mount. After all the room on the boat is very narrow and is a good boat for shallow water. I have had the boat in waer that the T/M was just barely out of the water! So now I have to figure how to make it with the pump and hoses! Dennis

Here is more photos of the inside of the boat with the cooler! I only have 2 spots to put it, no room near the gas tank & battery compartment and no room in front of the console! So I have behnd seat and in front of the bench! The only problem is when I have the Bimi to down it lays over the...

Really not sure, the bat I have is a Fiberglass 16' called a Matthew, was made in New Bern, NC by a Cabinet Maker and Yachts but went out of business! It is very narrow boat and all the weight so far is in on the stern, I was thinking of mounting it near the front seat,but then it will...
