Boat Modifications

[chuck860]

Just wondering what you guys have done for Mods? I will post pics of some of mine when it warms up a little in CT. Here's a list of some of the stuff I did or I am going to do to my 2005 HP 170:

New livewell pump and drainage
Trolleze Recessed Foot tray
Water Pressure gauge
Voltage Meter
New front mounting plate to flush mount a HDS 5
Carpeted Metal seat plates
Fuel/water Separator
Upraded trolling motor to Motorguide 70lb Tour Guide W/ built in Transducer
Removed Passenger handle bar
Upgraded to 3 Optima Batteries
Upgraded charger to 3 bank Minnkota
Installed Boat Buckle tie downs
still looking for a jack plate


Thats all I can think of right now....lol

I have not done anything to mine but will probably be purchasing new batteries this Spring, I would like to upgrade to a GPS/fishfinder as I have a hand-held gps w/ a map card curently and just regular fish finders at bow and console. I probably need to send my prop off to get B&B so maybe I can pick a little speed.

chuck have you instaled the troll ez yet and if you have did you have any problems with cross bars or any thing under the floor i have a hp-200 2006

I installed the Trolleze last year. Had no issues because it fit in between the 2 cross members but my rod locker is in the middle so I could see them before cutting. I don't know if you can see it in the Hp200
