I was thinking so Tman, not sure how well its going to work tho after it piles up with pictures and etc.. guess well see. Im sure we will be stealing alot of ideas from each other, Deff gonna take alot longer than I expected. but its fun.

[jefflaw35]

Finally a good day to pull the hard top.


I really wish someone would have found a better way with the hardtop wiring instead of butchering the head and hiding it with a window curtain.

[Big D]

Don't know why they didn't run the wiring through the aft post instead!?

[jefflaw35]

Im looking into that right now, just found myself in the funnest wire chase of my life. Half of this boat is wired with speaker wires for power reason lol. This is a mess and sidetracking me. Fun tho

[Torcan]

All I can say jeff to you is don't get discouraged. Take it one step at a time.
Because it looks like your attacking everything at once, and you could become overwhelmed.

[Nancy]

This Ftard is my PO hero. 8 power wires ran with speaker wire and the temp sending unit gauge dead ends in the cabin about 12 feet from the motor. Ummmmmm...

You crack me up! I'm pretty sure there won't be one square inch of this boat you don't know. And you certainly won't have any surprises!

[Torcan]

dunno nancy, I found a funny looking tool under the motor when i dropped my wire cutters, nothing suprises me LOL, looks like a wrench but has points on it, ok hard to say but it has metal nipples on it like it unlockes something, im sure i will find out what , lol

post up a pic of it, I am sure you will get a quick response

[Big D]

Sounds like the tool used to remove the flange that secures the disc to a grinder.

i know buddy and thanks for your help, i am trying to do to much at once. the warm/cold weather isnt helping. im just bouncing all around, but i am documenting with my ipad so i can jump back and forth. its going good so far, technology is a good thing

[prowlersfish]

maybe the deck plate tool for the fuel and water tanks

[jefflaw35]

sorry guys ill try again tomorro. its look just like a flat 1 inch wrench and has to nipples for locking on it. i dropped it under the engine, cant reach it, in the cold and dark. its just something i found on the boat, no big deal really.

[larryeddington]

Good guess Paul, could be.
