    The knob is a standard cue ball what I just drilled and tapped to fit the 5/16" threaded stud I mounted in the top. Just screws on/off. If somebody could post a picture of the 'rat fink eyeball' I could attempt to add it to the knob. I honestly don't remember which eyeball is correct after googling it today. Is it the large blood shot eyeball or the one with the wings?? I have no doubt it will help me catch more fish just like my fuzzy dice makes my vehicle go faster.

    Any of them. I guess I remember the winged version that I don't think was Ed Roth although he made the similar eyes in his RF cartoon.

    Super now you can add one more thing in the back of the boat for your partner to smash lures into.

    Roth frequently did the bloodshot eyeball on the shifter knob like this

    Joe, great job! That mod looks factory made. I saw a guy a few years ago that made hand rails on the inside of both his consoles so he could pull himself up to the deck and steady himself walking back to drive.

    If you're any kind of hot rodder you better know who Rat Fink is. I caught the reference instantly.

    Have an old timer in my club that has trouble getting around lately and he tied some ropes to his pedestal to pull himself up with and also to hold on the way down ,then he has a little basket around his pedestal that hold the line so it is not a tripping hazard. works for him
