Recently completed a few upgrades to my boat:
Had a problem with water sometimes coming over the bow, so I had Wave Wackers (http://www.wavewackers.com/) build me a really nice splash guard. They specialize in building splash guard for the stern of a boat, for back trolling, which apparently is big in some areas of the country. Michael Herrick does an amazing job and I felt that at $189 I got a great deal.
With my new splash guard I needed to find a new place to install my Minn Kota i-pilot, so I had The Iron Works build me a base to attach to the bow. They constructed one out of 1/4" sheet aluminum and did a fine job for less that $100. On the port-side-splash-guard photo one can see where the prior electric motor mounted (it is sealed with a rubber seal that was made by Wave Wackers). Got the wiring changed so 24 volts is delivered to the plug, so I am good to go. Sure will be nice to have my i-pilot installed on my new boat.
N.E.T.O. and I recently installed my new mount from Remote Troll, so that I can use my new-to-me four-stroke Johnson to troll. Thanks Randy.
So, within a few weeks I went from just having my 150 HP outboard to my four-stroke and my i-pilot. Life is good.
