Great to hear your finished except little details and she back to what she is ment to do, fish 🤙. You gave the console a boo boo 🤦‍♂️. Sheet happens. Just enjoy her. Fin😀👍🙏🇺🇸

Yeah....it was painful...but, it's only gelcoat and a bit of cabosil...I spoke with my glass guy....he said, run her hard, scrape her up, then bring her back in 6 months and we'll fix all the pings and dings....

More finishing work....

I wanted to put some protection on the rod holders....Used some outdoor carpet from home depot and some trim I cut down....not perfect, but, fishable....once the winter comes, I redo it...but, time to get out and fish...

adding the carpet

  • Wanaflatsfish changed the title to Update: Aug 15th (Sunday) Cleaning up Trolling Motor Connections......Master Angler MA17 - 1995, the Holy Ghost
  • 3 weeks later...

Had some time this weekend to add a few finishing touches on the Ghost.

Added a wash down system  and used the live well pump....didn't clean up all the wires until I run it and make sure everything is working well....

I used the Jabsco quick connect.....really nice, but a bit $$ = $90, but is very well built and stainless vs others I saw...

Here are some pic...I don't use my live well so it was a simple install...

I also covered a few holes which I left as i though I was going to reinstall my handrails...I ended up using the hole in the front of the console for my lights and I bought a few seadeck hook pads and thought a $25 donation for Captains for Clean water was a nice touch

I also need to finalize my anchor and stern lights...I am trying to snake them inside the tower and I needed to take off the tower platform to get the snake through the tubes....will finish tomorrow, it's a bit warm this afternoon.

 

Also, I reinstalled my Lee's rod holders to allow me to attach the bimini off the platform and farther back on the stern.
