Now that’s thinking out of the box.!

Yesterday I stared at it for 3 days and I think I have a plan I will remove the capstan. Hopefully with the Kraken, I will not need to pull anchor... Unlike the other threads that are putting a mounting plate under the pulpit, I will go over the pulpit using the 4 existing bolts. The plate...

Circling back to this project as prerequisite for another project (Kraken trolling motor/36v battery/charger) Thoughts are welcome.... One sunny day I stared at shi_ for 3 days and I had an epifany. I will move the 30A AC inlet to the OUTSIDE of the boat, below the port side window, near...

I do not think that is correct.

its 25 years old. That is well into the age where tanks need replacing. It smells like gas. You should remove the deck covering the tank(s) and inspect it thoroughly. It could be the gasket on the sending unit(s). It could be the fill or vent hoses. It could be any hose, valve or connection. It...

White marlin & sailfish guys do that. Raises fish into the spread or in close to pitch a bait or a fly. You need a wide boat & a crew that knows what they are doing. Lee's with spreaders can handle some lighter dredges, in tight Not my cup of tea but I get it.

I have not been able to find the forked end cap piece.

Pieces are coming together this thing is huge! It is an 8D size. Going to have to make my own tray. I'm thinking its going under the V berth.

Replace those popout pie plates with screw type plates.

yep read thru the whole thing There are some deck drain p/ns from other guys and some "good to know before you start" things.

Those are fuel burn sending units. Don't get rid of those! The readout is on your yamaha gauges

The valve controls waste outlet. Center hose is the pickup from the shi_tank. one hose goes to a deck fitting for dockside pumpout. the other goes to a macerator pump. from there it uses a smaller hose to an underwater thruhull that also has a valve. You also have another valve for water inlet...

Looks like you went with smaller diameter fittings and hoses. What type of new fittings in the deck? Oh! you took out the "wall" in the battery compartment. Like that you got rid of the original recessed tabs. FYI, if you are going to back down, you better have more than the OEM tailgate...
