I love the ladder idea! Did you have to recess the bolts or nuts on the top side to have the gator step lay flat? It looks really good!

I can’t take any credit for that as a few others here have already done it, once I showed my wife a picture of one she said “yep”.

I didn’t drill through it. I just used some 1” stainless steel screws from the bottom and put some marine sealant/adhesive on the threads to hopefully keep them in there. Seems like that has worked for others.

Not a boat mod but my wife had this made for the boat dock:

Been working on the boat again lately!

Installed 4 taco marine fender holders:

Hey MM, been looking at the taco marine and found these:

Question, how big is the threaded portion on the one's you installed?. This one requires a gaping 3/4" hole to be drilled into the hull. Is that correct? Did u install a different size? I mean, I'm ok if that is what it is, just want to make sure before I commit. Seems like a pretty big hole. And the receiver base measures 1.5". That's pretty big. My buddy has phender pro's in his MC and I don't remember them being that big.

Yea I’m pretty sure I used a 3/4” hole saw so I’m sure that’s it.

For anyone interested, I found these quick release fender holders. They are a little smaller but also require a smaller hole drilled into the hull. Hole size is 5/8" vs 3/4". The base is 1" vs 1.5 " on the TACO. You could drill these with a 5/8" drill bit, prolly harder to chip gel coat with a bit over a hole saw, I think.
A little cheaper too.
Has anyone seen these or purchased from this site. It seems legit.Found it on google search, and we all know how anything on google has to be 100% legit!

Now that the boat is home for the winter it’s time for a good detail, so I procrastinated a bit and cut the tabs off the engine tray for easier removal as seen on some of the new boats:







I used this pic someone posted on the forum for reference:

That's a great idea, now you don't have to pop out the struts to remove the storage bins.

I should do that with my over-engine tray.

Well done sir!

Thanks, dealing with the struts was a hassle. Hopefully now I’ll be more likely to check the oil regularly lol.

The 2021s are cut already, it’s brilliant! I was pleasantly surprised.
