Adding Accessories To Your BoatADDING ACCESSORIES TO YOUR BOAT…The bow section of the gunwale is properly reinforced for installingsuch accessories as trolling motors and depth sounders. We recommendthrough-bolting all trolling motors, anchor davits and other heavieraccessories. Normally 1/4” stainless steel bolts with self locking nuts and1-1/4” fender will do the job. Lightweight depth sounders or similarequipment and hardware can be installed using #8 or #10 stainless steelscrews. Always drill a pilot hole through the fiberglass (just smaller thanthe screw you’re going to use) and use a counter sink to chamfer the pilothole before attempting to install a screw. This lessens the chance of“stripping” the hold or chipping the gel-coat around the hole.If additional instruments are desired on the console, holes may bedrilled using a hole saw of the proper size.When installing additional electric accessories, always use the propergauge (size) wire recommended for that item. Insure that the proper sizebreaker or fuse is used. “Splicing” into another accessory’s power supplycould overload the circuit and should be avoided.38Use Marine Sealer around all screwsinstalled into transom or floor of boat. Wheninstalling screws below water line, be sure sealer used is recommendedfor such.NOTICEAlways disconnect the positive andnegative leads from the battery terminalsbefore installing, removing, servicing, or troubleshooting any part of theelectrical system.CAUTION |
