I cant tell what you did in the photos with the bow light with the trolling motor on the bow?

troutrunner162 · #7 03-18-2013, 03:23 PM

Let me see if I can find a picture of the bow but I have a single 8" flush cleat and a round perko bow light base/removable bicolor 14" perko LED light that is taller than the trolling motor. The motor is a minn kota riptide 80lbs trust. Thats plenty of power for this boat.

As for the curtain enclosure, we LOVE it and I keep in on at all times. The front has a big roll up "U" for hot summertime days to allow a breeze but it sure is nice to put it down in the southwest 25 knts winds in the summer afternoons we have in NC and stay dry while running 30+ knts.

one more thig where did you install the batteries and charger trout?

sweet looking ride

I have a total of 4 batteries under the console. They are slide as far forward under the console, but not to interfere with the front storage area if that makes sense. I put a starboard divider so the her nice beach bags/food bags wouldn't get dirty. 1 start, 1 house, and 2 for the 24v trolling motor all in west marine trays, all in a line for proper weight distribution. The previous owner had a 2 bank battery charger installed on a big piece of starboard mounted to the console front wall, so I installed another 2 bank beside it.

Boat is down at my beach house and we will be back in a week a 2, so I can get some interior pics if you want.

Id apreciate it im loooking to install one on mine.
Somfar i figure 80pound thrust 24 volt i can install batteries in the forward locker. As im not sure how id run cables to the bow from the console.
