[QUOTE="Bigcountry, post: 461970, member: 24230"] I recently acquired my first “skiff”; a G3 1548 with 20 HP Yamaha. It’s an awesome boat, but I am now in the process of adding things to it to make it my fishing machine. I am trying out just hot to mount the fishfinder to it. I have a tiller motor, and can sit on the rear bench to steer it, or attach the tiller extension and steer. I’d like it to be somewhere I can see it while under power. Any ideas how or where to mount it? Secondly, I am considering having a hatch added into the front deck for storage of safety gear ND the trolling motor battery. Has anyone done this before? If so, what would it take to do so? I have an idea of putting a pre-fab waterproof compartment in if they are even available. My last thought is adding a mini-platform complete with grab rail and a cooler/bench/storage locker in front of it like you would see on fiberglass skiffs. The thought process with this is it would not only give me a spot to mount the fishfinder, but negate having to cut into the deck. Is there anyone out there that sells anything similar to this? Or would I need to have someone custom make it and have it attached to my boat professionally? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
