Winter Modifications (what are your plans)

[MoombaPat]

Hey guys! Figured it's about that time to start posting our winter project ideas. Let's see what you have planned so we can feed off of each other's ideas.

2000 Moomba Outback LS

- Hydro turf floor
- Sea Dek pad
- New speakers
- New panel switch to control LEDS on speakers and in boat lighting
- Clean up all my wiring
- Swivel platform for drivers seat

Here's my base line plans for now, see what I get accomplished!

This is my fall/winter stuff... This pile of stuff will get me started... New(ish) boat = starting over on mods.



4 port heatercraft heater
upgrade basement bag to 1100 (easy)
change out polk tower speakers to HLCD kickers and rewire amps to more efficiently power the system
put on the CIPA vision 180 mirror (easy)

I'd also like to some of my DIY transom lights and the drain plug CREE light
I'd love it if I was able to pull off installing RGBW accent/speaker/cupholder lighting in the boat
I'd be stoked if I could do an upgrade of the ballast pumps
Maybe even fab up a surf system if I get ambitious.

Of course, it's entirely possible that beyond the obvious easy stuff, my list might end up being something like:
1) Winterize
2) Snowboard

put in an order at etrailer.com while they were having their free shipping promo.

Ordered up a new trailer winch. The current one I have is kind of scary about whether it’s engaged and locked or not. Honestly, it’s been pretty sketchy about knowing if it’ll skip a tooth and the boat could slide off when pulling it out of the water.


ordered a simple and effective spare tire mount. will get a matching spare over the winter.


I also ordered a set of heavy duty ratcheting boat tie downs. They aren’t the cheap looking attwood ones from Walmart, but not the $65 boat buckle ones either. I think they’ll be okay and have gotten good reviews. and $31 is 1/2 the boat buckle price.


single bolt mount will make for an easy install.

I like the spare tire mount - where did you order it from?

The lighting is really easy if you do it the way I am. I have 2 deist riveting panels 1 in 8 out that I'm going to run to a switch panel with built in breaker. Run the whole distribution panel to a single switch and I can effectively power 8 LED light on 1 switch. I'm running all my speaker LEDS on one switch then all internal accent lighting off of another. I'll take pictures as I set it all up.

On my last boat, I ran my LED's as follows:
1) boat LED's on the court light circuit to the OEM switch
2) transom LED's to the Aux switch
3) tower light bar on another OEM switch

doing single color LED's was a piece of cake. just tapping into the court light wiring in the boat or wiring a +/- into a switch. basic.

This time around I'm thinking of going all out and doing RGBW, which would require 5 conductors going to a controller. It's a TON more wiring. But in the end, I think it will be pretty awesome, so I'm thinking about making the big jump to RGBW.

I have to store mine all winter... garage is like 2 feet too short... really sucks.. so trying to get stuff done before I put it away.

- Green bulb to White LED replacement on dash pods (still have middle 2 to do, hard to get the green ones out.


- Tore out back carpet, still need to lay down the Bed Liner


- Going to cut access hole into ski locker to drain water from below the floor. (got the plate, just need to cut it)

- Getting a vinyl guy to come out and hopefully fix my rear storage locker cushions

I need a day off work to get shit done, just no time in the evenings with kids
