    '19 Falcon 215 Updates...

    Starting a new page boys.....the 17 205 is gone....now have a 215. I will be doing some updating the same as on the 17 but wanted to know for the current 215 guys out there what are you doing for the front center storage compartment with nothing in it? The lower center compartment has NO WHERE near enough spaces for me to put in all my tackle. Curious to see what everyone is doing. I will get some pics and post on here hopefully by this wknd!

    Thanks guys!

    Hey scum_frog - I just bought my first bass boat, a 215 as well. Let me know if you find anything about the front center. I posted on FB as well, looking for ideas but none have come through.

    I actually need to get Dimensions measured and sent off to a guy who is going to design up a custom piece for up there. I will let you know how it goes!

    Waiting for some more items to come in still so tinkering with it as the days go here and there. Cleaning some things up wiring wise and moving some things around. Wired up the bow units, mega 360 and ethernet. Ordered the troll tamer im going to set in the middle of the ultrex and remove stabilizer arm as well. Took out the digital MK charger and put in the Precision. Waiting for Lithiums to get in as well. Going well so far just taking my time since she wont be used for a while doing everything right. For my power connections on the bow I bought those heat shrink connectors with sauder in them already and tried them out. Not bad....hard to get the sauder to actually melt but they seal nicely.....I threw some electrical tape around them just for peace of mind but they seem better than other connectors. Laid the BBT dual mount on the front just to clean it up....looks great cant wait for it to be finished! 141540922_722392545365624_556956222819662358_n.jpg142100385_1018458985307745_5821551977595783053_n.jpg142428579_2169411313194306_777630575750342852_n.jpg142691359_759394338263992_3541246100376481509_n.jpg142192850_980591235803977_2186400863502666391_n.jpg

    I have 2 lithium's in parallel for my Ultrex and a Deka Intimidator AGM 31 for everything else. I run 4 Helix 10's with 360. No issues. I do have shutoff's for both battery set ups ! I have heard bad things can happen with lithium s without 1.

    I am still up in the air on my cranking battery with electronics.....I think I am going to stick with on 31g but unsure on what brand yet.....trying to do my diligence and read on some different ones!

    On a side note, installed the Mega 360, G-force trolling motor handle, prop eliminator nut and also the troll tamer.....man that thing is the cats meow. Eliminates the stabilizer bar and bracket on the Ultrex and looks way cleaner.....TM does not budge when its locked down! I love it! Have all the wiring done at the bow and made a mistake when installing the bbt dual mount......irks me! Didnt realize what setting I was on with the drill and sheared the head right off a screw so now I need to get that removed. Ticks me off cause I wasnt paying attention! Other than that it'll be ready for units and to button up console and then its just Batteries and i'll be water ready.....way weather looks anyways could be on the water within a week or two!! Lets hope!

    Finally finished all wiring besides at battery. Got my last Helix in so I ran the transducer and installed that, finished wiring up all units to blade box and set ethernet box. Cleaned up all the wiring at the bow and under console and put all panels back on and installed the dual BBT mount up front.....Now just batteries and I should be set!!! dualbbtmount.jpgSItransducer.jpgtrolltamer.jpgunderconsole.jpg

    Finished up the console and bow....installed electronics and buttoned up wiring along starboard rod locker and screwed down some stomp switches for poles, need to install the one on console as well. I ordered a motor sock for wiring just to clean up the front and threw that on...looks nice...! Now literally waiting on batteries......cant wait! bow1.jpgfrontdeck.jpg

Had a buddy custom make a tray for them and added a door seal along the bottom for them to sit on so they werent directly on tray and put Velcro in between each battery so they wouldnt vibrate side to side as well. Worked out really well and saved a ton more space. I also took out that Duracell and installed an X2.....motor cranks over so much faster now with that thing. Love the set up now.Attachment 492295Attachment 492296Attachment 492297Attachment 492298Attachment 492299
