Winkster Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Bought my baby brand new back in 1999. Finally getting around to installing a T-Top. Bought a Fishmaster Pro. My question is, did the Pathfinder manufacturer put any mounting blocks (for lack of a better term) under the deck around the console? Thank you.

Wanaflatsfish Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Send a note to Customer Service at the factory with your HIN - hull # and they can tell you for sure....but, most likely yes, there are metal plates under the deck along the console side...you might be able to see them if you open the access plate and use a camera. dc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch03 Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Winkster a quick google search lead me to this manual. I took a screenshot of the first page and the one you are interested in. You can see the site address on the photos. Hopefully it is your boat but if not the prior advice is good. hutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Great job, Hutch ! I will move this thread to the PF Info Section !! Can you add the link to the whole manual, please ? Mod Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch03 Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Marc. Not sure this is going to work. But I googled “pathfinder 2200 manual”. This is what came up. I believe there are several. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwign9jYm6vvAhU8Ap0JHbhMDcIQFjAAegQIAxAD&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.manualslib.com%2Fmanual%2F911043%2FPathfinder-2200-V-Tournament-Edition.html&usg=AOvVaw32fnPbrLcIREQgBy3a4Oif not a great computer person I will concede....Hutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 I gotta be honest.. I don’t think there was a Tournament Edition in 1999.. As far as keeping track of the exact components used in each year’s boat builds... The factory broke new ground each year with these bay boats. Obtaining the finest hardware and accessories was the goal, not creating a journal for the future. New hardware was tested and utilized, then outsourcing to foreign production degraded some tried and true hardware.. so changes had to be made. I remember bilge pumps, jack plates and latches going south and being replaced to deliver the finest boats. I hope you have the information you need to mount your TTop..

TP13 Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 I have a 2000 2200v and have been toying with the idea for a few years now. The research I’ve done indicates that they probably did not build plates in these areas for a couple more years. This has caused me to reconsider but Would like to know for sure. Our hulls are very similar in construction. The manual above is different from the early on models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 The 03 has the plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanaflatsfish Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Again, if you get under the console and the access panel with a camera, you should be able to see the plates glassed into the deck. dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief5130 Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 In 1999 there was no tournament model, I believe only Vee and Tunnel. The brochure above is for later models, I believe 2002 and later. As DC said look under the floor or contact the factory to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
