Here's the safe way to rename your boat... :P http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/rename.htm My old boat was named "Leap Frog"... I tried for "Leap Frog II" on this one... got shot down immediately... she wanted nothing to do with that boat and my single days! The new one is "Widow...

Just saw one listed on the hull truth... http://www.thehulltruth.com/parts-forum ... -00-a.html

Just stay with a simple transom mount... plenty for the rivers and bay... if you were big time serious about fishing, the 1000 watt units and thru hulls will give you a better separation of fish from the bottom... but you are looking at up to $1400 plus installation (best left to the pros to...

Give Viking Panels a call... they are doing some really cool stuff with lighted switch panels... but they can do a straight forward dash panel too... http://www.vikingpanels.com/index.html

I got my under water LEDs from http://www.coastalnightlights.com/ Ordered two of the double square ones in blue... look good and reasonably priced... I used two small screws to hold each one in place and routed the power line over the transom and thru the existing clamshell for the transducer...

I ran red strips under the gunnels and attached them to the cockpit light wiring as well... I looked all over for a red bulb for the cockpit lights but was unsuccessful, so I removed the bulbs for now... Being red, no problem at all seeing at night... I'll use them early in the morning on the...

Don't forget to forget to factor in the cost of repacks... most are 3 years, but costs can vary among manufacturers...

Didn't mean to imply a 17 pitch for the OP's boat... that was what I used on my Marlin... I was able to stay with the same pitch because I was on the top end of the RPM range... with the extra lift of the 4 blades, I squeaked out a few additional RPMs as well so I could stay with a 17 and hit...

I've got the same setup as you... I went with the 4 blade props in a 17 pitch... originally had the 3 blade SWS II in a 17... I was able to spin the 3 blades slightly higher than the RPM range for the OX66's called for when fully trimmed out... the folks at propgods were right on when...

The folks at PropGods were very helpful when I changed from a 3 to a 4 blade prop... I was actually able to keep a 17 pitch even though traditionally you need to drop an inch or two... I mapped out my speed and rpm's before I called them and based on that we were able to decide on the powertech...

Wow! That's messed up that it's only in meters! You can probably find a used Chesapeake chip for under $50 (THT has them for sale regularly) Unfortunately, I sold my Chesapeake one last season after switching to CMAP... hmmmm... can the 1650 be converted to use CMAP??? Furuno did the...

It is a setting change on the plotter... Menu Display Options Depth Unit --> change to feet from meters Check the other settings while you are there... mph or knots or kilometers, farenheit or celcius, etc... Here's the link to Furuno's site and your plotter...

On my Marlin, the overhead cabinet has it's own separate feed from the battery... the original intent was for the VHF to stay running just in case you main helm feed had issues... my guess is your GPS is on that circuit...

I have heard some guys have put up to 600 feet of rode in their lockers... but I think they also switched to 8 plait since it lays better... I have about 250' and there's plenty of room for more... guessing you should be able to easily drop 500' in there...

Try giving these guys a call... they have quite a collection of Kohler generator parts and decent prices... http://www.partsfortechs.com/asapcart/generator-parts-kohler-c-14_83.html
