What have you done to your Grady lately?

I finally decided to get serious about tackle storage on my 180 Fisherman... ten 3700 series Planos, eight thin and two thick. The space up top is about 2 1/2 half inches deep and is accessed by lifting the seat.

Re-wiring in progress. Been a super long time coming but hoping it's finished by the 10th.

a bit over due as i did this back in the summer, but i got a new switch panel, new switches, and a new gage panel. behind the sceens is a new power distribution block with breakers instead of fuses. sorry for the poor quality pics, they got compressed when i e-mailed them to myself.

I removed 100% of the wiring made a new dash panel and reset the gauges. New toggle switches, new wiring throughout as well as LED lighting. There were so many spices and worn parts from the years of changing radios and locators it was nice to start clean with a new fuze panel. I then added a new locator myself as well as a stereo this boat never had. Sometimes it’s just used to drive the Wife around the lake on a nice evening.This is a 1987 tournament 19 that has had a refit with a 200 EFI. First time I dropped it in at the landing and it touched off was worth all the effort.
