Jazzing Up My Minn Kota Mounting

Original plain Jane with Lss1 and wiring. Have added network 2000 and Ethernet since this photo. Wat a rats nest I had growing.

Winds have kept me home and off the lake, so, I decided to clean things up around the Terrova.

ABS sheets, dremel, blind rivets, aluminum and elbow grease does just fine. Rand out of materials. Gotta stop by Lowe's tomorrow and get a few screws and rivets. Nothing is tied together yet. It is all held together by supervisor tape until I am sure of all optiions.

Tom looks like you get as much enjoyment out of rigging up the electronic whiz toys as to fishing. My hats off to you for a fine job and a practical application of one's knowledge.

Good looking work, as usual. But don't feel bad, I can't sit around the house long before I go find something that needs done. And some of them even come off the "to do" list.

Only time I sit down is cause I'm tired. No one here to talk to except myself. ha.

I enjoy messing with my boat for sure. It is just a hobby to occupy time between fishing trips.

Yep. I am constantly messin with the boat. There are nights I can't sleep thinking about things I need to change or things that need fixed. Going to change the location of my trolling motor mount next. Then plumb and wire a recric pump for my live well.

I am trying to get all the wiring and stuff out of the harms way. I suffer from clutzitis. As I age, this handicapping phenomena is expanding at an exponential rate.

Cane pole I'm only 27 and I suffer from this. I can only imagine how bad it will be by the time I get to "the golden years" lmbo
