[QUOTE="RiverBottomOutdoors, post: 158000, member: 3912"] Yesterday, I swung by Advanced Auto and picked up 3 rattle cans of self-etching primer (about $6 a piece). Then swung by Lowe's and picked up some painter's tape and shrink wrap. I clipped off the OEM terminal connectors on the TM and replaced with a plug from Bass Pro. The plug came with butt splices pre-wrapped in waterproofing heat shrink. I put a put a piece of heat shrink of the splices to clean it up. Decided against unscrewing the hatches, cleat, etc and instead will tape them all for painting. I'm sure that I could unscrew everything but I don't won't to reduce the holding power of the screws any and with all the screws, I can tape it just as fast. I worked up some drawings for my rod holders. Hopefully, the drawings explain how they work.
