Had a pretty productive weekend. Would have preferred to be out on the water but really wanted to tackle a few items first.
First one up was the anchor drain. Wanted to replace it and go with the stainless steel one. Kind of a pain to remove, used some automotive plastic trim removing tools as
@adrianp89 suggested with lots of painters tape around the drain. It helped in pulling out the old plastic drain but then it snapped in half, so had to fish out the remainder with a small flat head screw driver. Good thing is that it appears as if in my case the hole is solid all the way through, but the plastic drain doesn't reach inside. Had to enlarge the hole a little bit with a drill bit for the new drain to fit.
Interior shot. Pardon the plant material, no idea how those blew in there.
Getting Started
Old plug removed, solid through
Another pic of drain hole showing all the way through.
FInished product
Installed Sand Anchor straps, credit goes to
@Sotally Tober for this idea. Now im ready for the local sandbar/beaches.
"installed" the PortAPotty for the girls
Added mesh screen cellphone holders. Cant remember the members name that suggested it. They match the factory mesh so it looks as if they came that way. Going to add two more to the bow of the boat.
Also added a small tool kit to the boat.
Now to take her out again and enjoy the fruits of my labor.
