I am interested in knowing if anyone knows if you can power an electric reel by hooking it up to the 12V power outlets in the console of a 2005 GW 283 Release. They look as if they are wired pretty heavily. Rather than cut an opening in the console to access the batteries directly, I am hoping...

Has anyone used the Taco Weldless / Clamp on mounting plates? I would appreciate any and all feedback. I would like to mount taco GS 270 riggers on my 283 Release soft T-Top. They are about $ 400 / pair and look easy to install. I am hoping to avoid the risks involved with welding...
