Mods to my 2006 ls

[clarkely]

Figured I would start a mod thread for the boat..... Have them on other forums for the camper and truck....

Added a spare tire and spare tire mount

Next up is to drill some holes in the hull - Faria thru hull depth finder/water/air temp

After that will be a second battery and selector

Then led accent lighting in the boat and under water on transom

Then tower lights

Then amp and speakers

Then.......

Looking forward to seeing the mods you do.

Before you drill your depth finder hole you may want to at least plan out where you will put future ballast intakes.

[clarkely]

well Samson extreme3 quick release tower mirror mount went on with the cipa Deluxe 180' mirror

Faria SS depth water/air temp will be finished tonight - ran wires last night

star gazer upgrade ordered .... here Thursday

[clarkely]

thru hull depth sensor/sonar is going to go in in front of the Speed paddle just starboard of centerline and keel/fins

easily accessible through the engine compartment....

[clarkely]

Thru hull sensor Faria so installed tonight

Always fun drilling new holes in your boat. My grandfather probably turns over in his grave when I drill holes in the bottom to let more water in.

Why put it directly in line with the paddle wheel? Isn't that going to disrupt the water flow to the paddle wheel and in turn make that reading less accurate?? Maybe you dont' care because you have stargazer?

[clarkely]

Yes... Correct..... I had upgraded to star gazer....

Flush mounted.... Not sure how much it would have created anyhow...

I like the star gazer.... Added that the other week in conjunction with thru hull mount...

Makes sense. No stargazer for me. On the river with currents almost exclusively, so I have the paddlewheel.

My in-hull depth transducer was enough of a PITA that I sometimes wish I would have went with a thru-hull like yours.

[clarkely]

That's what I read.... Seemed like from what I was reading.... Thru hull seemed actually easier.... Hardest part is fishing wire to the dash.... Drilling the hole and mounting was 1/2 hour of building courage for the first hole and a good location.... 10 minutes to drill caulk and mount.... Lol

I left a pull string in for pulling more wires later....

Looks great! I can't wait to start drilling holes in my boat!!! Ha! Probably 3-4 as part of my ballets install.

[clarkely]

Getting some free time.... So.... Rockford Fosgate 8" tower speakers are in the garage.... Couple of amps and a sub.... Figure I mine as well replace cabin speakers as well....

Planning in some led lighting....

Had windshield tinted today..... Really had a hard time deciding between 5% and 15%

Looks great!!

[kaneboats]

I like the choice. Lookin' good. :cool:

[garyholl]

That does look good. Is it useful

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

[clarkely]

define useful? Looks good and therefore is useful in making my boat look good ... LOL ....and it takes about 20 lbs off my figure :)

Not really for anything other than cosmetics ....... also have a bow and cockpit snap on cover coming.....

Will also make a smoked Plexi glass door to the bow as well ..... keep the cool sunset and sunrise air at a minimum for late in the season when air is cold but lake water temp is still nice......

[clarkely]

Got around to starting on 12" sub enclosure..... Hopefully mount amps and Tower speakers tomorrow..... Then replace cabin speakers and some led lighting..... And cockpit and bow snap cover..... And I'm done models for this year http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/29/hydaruva.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/29/8yju4a7y.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/29/e3udyhyd.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/29/jazemy6a.jpg

Snap on Bow and cockpit cover installed..... Primarily wanted bow cover for cool mornings(already have a good full cover) ..... Figured if I'm drilling holes and installing snaps mine as well do the cockpit as well... http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/10/8e3e2uja.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/10/u9u4uhe3.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/10/a9esa3eh.jpg

Cover looks great -- I miss the snap on cover I had on the old SeaRay, it was so easy to put on and take off. Struggling with the poles and straps with the new cover makes me angry every time I put it on.

Where did you get yours? And if I may ask, what was the price tag?

[clarkely]

703. 00 for both.... Great lakes boat cover.... Nice to deal with.... I didn't have male snaps on boat..... So they put snaps on cover.... Then I put them on boat.... Will have to see how snaps in aluminum work.... They don't seem as nice as u screw into the groove and only a little bit of the screw grabs..... Fiberglass ones are in solid
