Got the battery charger installed today, found a good spot in the back of the battery compartment to mount the ProSport 12.

After having the boat out a few times this season to get a feel for the stock steering, today wound up being a good day to install the Cobra Jet Super Magnum AK-19 kit with the fangs option! Looking forward to having a warm day soon to get back out and enjoy them! Thanks to Jeff @Cobra Jet Steering LLC for all the timely answers to my questions! 👍

Do you have any pics of your starboard side thruster? Installed my Cobras over Easter and it seemed like the starboard fang was really close to the steering rod.

I installed my on board battery charger 2 nights ago and my outside charging port last night. I like that it is kind of hidden.

Nice, that is camouflaged well, I had to zoom in to see it on my phone. Is there access thru your covert there to charge with it on?

No there isn't access while the cover is on but it is in the garage most of the time so it shouldn't matter. While moored over night we leave the cover loose anyways unless there is a big storm predicted.

I like what you did. Mine is directly under the tower, so when the cover is on, I can open the top half of the velcro around the tower and get the cord attached.

Nice work! It takes some balls once in a while to make those exterior holes! (at least the first one)

I like that idea about your placement, and @jcyamaharider I didn't even see it at first, so it's camouflaged quite well 👍

Finally quit raining long enough to get these in! Nice little addition, much better than stock pissers and bilge outlet. I did reuse the gaskets, as I wasn't comfortable with that aluminum directly on the fiberglass! It was fun climbing in the cooler storage compartment 😝

Now... How about the flippin white fresh water vent? I taped it off and painted it, but likely won't last. 20190523_194003.jpg

Finally got around to changing my plugs, summer-ized the shower, and a wash and a coat of Jetseal.








Don't you just love the foam cannon!! Has made cleaning stuff 10 times easier.
