Convinced! I have been powering electronics only 100ah LifePO4 in each Jon (2) graphs and accessories, in both boats. I really wanted to test TM old 24v Motor Guide 70# ;so I combined my (2) 100ah and purchased a 50ah for the electronics. The weight savings was obvious, runtime never got below...

I just mounted a transducer as "thill" recommended using a cutting board on my Topper 12; it works great!

Simple fix look under the head at the shaft attachment, remove screw turn head around reattach the screw and good to go...5 minutes

I meant electrical junction box.

I used a angle grinder, to cut the top of bench seat. The small accessory battery is housed inside and storage for rain gear, waterproof container for license, wallet keys. etc. The fuse panel was hidden inside the 4 gang switch box, with waterproof cover.

^^^Ray has given you some great suggestions, I would however get rid of those sandbags; you may get on on plane quicker, but top end suffers. The tilt /trim pin adjustment will get you on plane there's usually about 6 holes to put pin in. The #3 or #4 hole is usually the sweet spot.....btw...

Ahhh just working on the catfish /crappie boat; adding T-tracks, built an adjustable graph mount, ya know enough to keep me busy. I am longing for a vacation of some sort ,my wife is really getting bored.

Oh wow I like that track, it's easier to work with too!

This what the track looks like ..had to get a converter for heic to jpg in order to post photos.

No it won't bend unless heated; or taken to a muffler shop, they bend all sorts of metal. I am going to mock mount track closer to stern and see how far I can go without bending.

Shucks maybe I should have searched a little longer;that 3/4" sounds great!

Correction 6'x 1.5" x 3/4"

I ordered (2) 6'x1.5'x.75 extruded T slot rails 15 series from 80/20 via Amazon ;they are stout. I will be using 5/16-18 stainless steel carriage bolts/ washers and 5-Star Knobs.....hmmm for some reason it won't let me load pics!??

I run the wires together on the port side of my 1236 TM battery at stern adjacent to rear bench with 4ga. and winch disconnects. The sonars are fused and connected to a 55aph solar battery, no problem 😊

Here ya go, I have 10-12ft rods on the side just a couple of inches above gunnels .I used a threaded rod and a coupler to get my heights to match, from front to rear.

I put a pair of offset driftmaster tip savers on my 1236, worked out great attached to bench height is about 6in. above the gunnel.

I'm putting together a 1236 jon for a winter project.The previous owner had swivels and pedestals mounted to the bench,which eventually failed. I installed the tilt and slides Swivel Ez, so seats can move from side to side and balance weight.

Those are some nice designs, wish I had thought of that when I rebuilt my Crestliner.
