Since Nicole has pretty much cancelled my long weekend plans, figure I would get going on some projects... Got the Ionics and battery trays installed, which oddly enough was a bit more difficult than I expected it to be. Has laid it all out outside the bilge to make sure my cable runs would work and such. Then I installed the trays, trying to use as many existing holes as I could. Turns out, the Ionic 125 is larger on the top than the base, and I had the tray too close the the back bulkhead :(. Had to pull it and re-drill a new set of holes a bit forward.
Installed a remote drain plug, and also got the replacement thru hull transducer installed - letting it cure overnight. Then I can put the charger tray/mount back in and mount a new 460PCL. I'm replacing the old 440PC that had the broken mounting tabs that I had jury-rigged with velcro and zip ties :).
Pumps are all cleaned up, got one re-installed, going to do the other one tomorrow - moving it over to the other side as previously discussed. Then I can run the new hoses. Also got the Hydrilla Gear flip brackets mounted for the poles... Had looked at them before but due cost I decided against them. But after busting out a garage door window and getting them wedged under the garage door twice now, I decided to go ahead and pick up a set. Pretty happy with them so far, makes getting in an out no problem - never have to worry about forgetting to lower going in (or out) and worrying about did I back up far enough before raising, etc. Probably a splurge item, but I'm happy with them so far.
Also installed the braces on the PP mounts for the SlideMaster... I know PP says they are optional for 8ft'ers, but with the flip brackets and also the R&R ladder, they sure to make the brackets more solid. Before even without the added items the non-braced brackets moved around a bit too much for my liking...
Anyway, getting there... tomorrow after epoxy is cured I'll drill for the pp pump new location and get it installed, run the ducer cable, and work on seeing if I can get it to the units without completly tearing my dual mount apart. Then get the remaining bilge wiring and pp tubing run sorted out too.
Oh and I installed a NEMA Water Sensor too, woohoo :).
It's funny, and the end of the day it didn't seem like I accomplished as much as I hoped to do, but typing it all out it was quite a bit lol.
