Sunshade Complete and a few questions.

[Heyspike]

Well the Dog' has a new sunshade for the dock. It's a fun themed Flamingo top with telescoping rear poles both from Amazon. Thanks Fells. The poles fit into the fishing rod holders and have the perfect angle, I just had to remove the rubber end caps from the poles. Each corner has a tie down built into the top which made it pretty stable the wind.

Also questions about the storage compartment under the seat pedestals: Port Side: 1 is obviously a live well, next to it is a well with a clear cover on it. Insulated fish box? Starboard Side: Just storage or un-insulated fish box? Also when using the live well do you leave the pump on or turn it on once in awhile. Thanks,
John

I have a bracket so my live well is in the transom. The box with the plex cover that everyone loses is meant for drinks. My starboard one is a huge fishbox pretty well insulated. The pump has to be running all the time to keep live bait.

You can buy various types of timers for your livewell...some have knobs others have jumpers to set the ON/OFF cycle minutes.
I installed one and have a switch for ON/OFF/Timer. ......3 minutes ON/ 3minutes off


Gotta get me a sunscreen for the 265x !!!!

Thanks Guys, I wasn't sure if the Starboard side was insulated or not.
