Thread: Boat Rigging: A Jouney Through Time

Better yet, A Journey Through Lots of Time.

Well, I got 6 hours of work in on Sunday, Mother's Day. Yes, Mother's Day. Let me tell you, I lost 12 pounds and shaved 3 months off my life cleaning the house on Saturday.

Anywho, major progress to report. I installed the Ram at the console and installed the trolling motor. Yes, 6 hours.

The hold up was the plate for mounting had to be cleaned up, machined and fitted exactly. It involved sanding with 4 different air tools, measuring, fitting, tapping, counter sinking, measuring again, a trip to the store, measuring again then installing. And I still managed to mess it up. The plate had a "good" side and a "bad" side. The last step was to counter sink two holes and wouldn't you know it, I countersunk the wrong side. And when I say I, what I really mean is Jerry, my mechanic, with me standing over his shoulder complaining about how hard it is to install this plate. LOL.

Anyway, pics. Sorry, you'll have to wait some more for the finished project.
