Boat Shelf.jpg
Greetings All,
Curious what this shelf is used for. I think it is for a spare prop? If that is the case, I assume there is another part that the prop would attach to?
If this is indeed the case, how many folks carry a spare prop? I am considering just removing the shelf as it doesn't really serve any purpose for me, at least not that I can think
of.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tom

That is where my oil tank and 3rd battery for my TM are located. I had to reinforce with some metal brackets. Best of luck with what you decide to do.
Not made for a battery. You could carry a spare prop or tool kit there or any other lighter weight item.
Thanks Condor. You sell your 482 yet? My third TM battery is located on the starboard side beside the cranking battery. PO removed the oil tank.Originally Posted by Condor482

I still have the old girl.
Sounds like you have plenty of room to use that shelf area for whatever you’d like. Mine did not come with whatever it takes to hold the prop down to the shelf. I’m not sure I’ve even seen what it looks like.
on my 1996 482vs thats where the spare prop sat, it had a long upright threaded rod sticking up
Thanks Mark. Mine doesn't seem to have a hole for the rod anywhere that I can see...

Like other people said, that is where a spare prop would go. We used to use that space to carry a toolbox with some tools/parts you might need. Just strapped it down with bungee cords.
Tom, somtimes I wish I upgraded motor, trollin motor and electronics and kept that rig it fished so well. Did dothe seats and carpet over rebuilt the trailer used 1 year and sold it.
Hey Condor482. Please pm me if you still have your 482 for sale. I'm ready to buy if I like what I see and the price is right. Thanks.
Sorry, bud. It sold about 3 weeks ago. Good luck with your search.
