I am trying to determine how much and what size wire to buy. My pumps are marked as either 3 or 4 amp, but I can't find info on the amp draw for nav lights or fish finders anywhere. The bow light and fish finder will both have runs of about 22ft, so using too small of a wire could be bad, but...

Hey guys. My jon boat had benches with seats mounted to the benches, but I have done away with the benches and installing decking instead. The problem is that I am completely confused by all of the seating options out there. More specifically...the seating hardware options. I would like to use...

How much space should I leave between the hatch and surrounding deck to allow for the carpet to wrap around? I guess it might depend on the carpet I use, but I don't quite have the money at the moment to buy it. My plan is to use a basic marine carpet from Bass Pro or Cabela's.

The instructions say not to apply 5200 below 40 degrees. However, I don't have a heated space to keep the boat, and this stuff takes many days to fully cure. It is currently 45 in Atlanta with highs in the upper 50's-low 60's throughout the week. The overnight lows, however, are between 35-40...

Hey guys. I am planning on doing my livewell similar to Perchin's. I like the idea of pumping the water out instead of depending on an overflow system. I have included a quick sketch of my design (sorry, i truly am terrible at Paint). The only problem is that I just found in my pump instructions...

Hey guys. My steelflex is supposed to be delivered tomorrow (ordered it yesterday. props to Fasco for the fast service!) Anyways, I'm anxious to put on the steelflex, but I need to do some hull repair before I apply it. I know I have a tiny leak, and hopefully I will be able to fill the boat...

Can somebody point me in the right direction for installing a drain plug? I know nothing about it...only that the previous owner of my boat couldn't get it to stop leaking so he JB welded over the entire thing. What is a good type, brand, etc and how to install it?

I have read through some threads to try and get some info, but I am still a little confused on what I should do for my wiring. I plan on running a transom mount trolling motor (no gas motor...electric only), bow mount trolling motor occasionally, and an aerator for the livewell from the get-go...

This boat is on a sort of indefinate loan to me, but the owner won't allow me to mod it, so I was thinking about purchasing it from him and calling it my own. $500 gets the boat, trailer, 45lb thrust motor, and battery. From stern to bow she measures 13' 9", and from side to side at the...

So in my few days of lurking around here, I have seen alot of warnings against using pressure treated wood on an aluminum hull. However, looking through the mods pages, it seems lots and lots of people use wood. So how are they doing it? I know the most obvious answer is to use aluminum, but...

Hello to all! I have been fishing out of jon boats for years, but I have never owned one myself. I have fished flat botton and v hull, and they seem to both have their positives and negatives. In the near future I plan on purchasing a boat of my own, and I plan on doing some mild to moderate...
