Terrova hookup

WHEWWW, got it 100% up front. Setup, wired up and running like a champ!!!! Put a battery on the credit card yesterday but least I got one. Got an Excide 31 and for the moment I have it on a couple of boards on the boat deck but it's wired like it should be,just in a temporary location til the weekend. GOT to hit the water this evening to see how it works. Took all of 3 minutes to hook it up thank goodness. Now the hard part is figuring out exactly where to put the 3rd battery. You'll see in the ground level pic how my rod holder extension ARE NOT jacked up. Center 4 rod holder, I came up with a 3 1/2 inch riser, then a 90 degree coupling, then 5 1/2 inch section of pipe and another 90. Then on the 2, 2 rod holders, added 4 inches to them. I was having to lean over a good bit to grab the poles out of the holders so I was missing alot of fish. Solved that problem with this and it's perfect. Just enough leg room where I'm not cramped in but also just right where I can reach the poles without much effort. I'm very happy with the whole setup now

Looks good DD. Do you not have enough room in the back of your boat for the batteries?

What's with the Sanford & Son back yard?

That's OK Feelay, I like it, it works great and that's all that matters. Chris #1, I THINK I can get it in the back box where my cranking battery is. IF I can get it through the dang hole that is. I can biuld a support rack in there and GET SOMEONE TO HELP RUN WIRES. LOL
