[QUOTE="Transplant, post: 495047, member: 23849"] Carpet is done thank goodness, we’re on to re-assembly and a few small projects when I can do them in the shed or when the weather cooperates to work outside. The fire extinguisher cubby has been cleaned up and is looking fresh. I built a small aluminum step bracket to mount at the bow for the fwd fishfinder and as a place to store a few tools (that will get carpet). I used epoxy to cast a trolling motor mount for the transducer that came with the boat. It apparently had come off the transom and got hit by the prop so the mount was busted off it. I bench tested it and it seemed ok so I made a mold using abs pipe, cardboard, popsicle sticks and masking tape and ended up with a decent mount (I hope). There’s 2 slots molded into the epoxy where hose clamps can go through to fasten this to the trolling motor up front. If it doesn’t work I’ll use the universal sonar on my trolling motor, but I have a Helix 7 with side view for up front and I’d like to keep the side view functional if I can. And finally I tried to clean the pedestal seats but they’re shot, at some point I’ll have to break out the sewing machine to reupholster them, I’m in no rush to do that yet since I won’t use those seats most of the time anyway. Next on the list is battery trays, bilge pump, and correcting the horribly oxidized paint… weather pending. [/QUOTE]
