Here is what is left to do (the light at the end of the tunnel is getting bigger): 1) Replace port side ballast level sensor 2) Make another attempt at bringing back more fluff to the carpet 3) Re-install the interior panels and seats 4) Wait for the docks to get put back in so can settle the boat into its slip for the season. 5) Gas her up and let her run maybes: x) add sub x2) ipod connector x3) electrically actuated ballast supply valve ======= once boat is in its slip, will focus on the trailer on rainy days 1) replace all brake pieces 2) add strap mounts to rear to better position tie down straps 3) line-x the trailer

If you look up mid-thread you can see we are running a dual battery setup with a SurePower relay. I dont know if you need another battery but i like the added piece of mind

How about a shot of the finished batteries and SuprePower mounting location? Looks AWESOME!

On the cover for your stereo you mentioned you covered it with vinyl. What is the vinyl covering, metal? It looks to be about a 1/4 inch thick. After you covered it, what did you use to cut it out to install the deck?

The vinyl is covering a piece of ABS plastic. In the first pic you can see the bezel b4 it was wrapped and the opening was cut. It was a flat 1/4" thick piece cut to fit and sanded to round the edges. Jigsaw and dremel FTW. Secured everything by drilling holes all the way through, lined up with head units mounting holes and used screws, a 7" long 1" wide 1/8" thick strip of aluminum, washers and nuts to sandwich everything together. Its super solid!!!

I wasn't a huge fan of the mako racks. They wear out in 3 seasons...

Hmm.. that's interesting, as I have three Mako racks and they're going on their 6th year. I have to take two of them on/off every time boat goes in the garage, as well. What part of yours wore out? A mouse (or similar varmint) chewed through one of their bungees one winter, but Monster! was excellent enough to provide me with replacements. The racks themselves are still going strong.

Awesome work so far. If and when you are looking to add ipod controls to the cmd4 unit I strongly recommend the ccaipod control unit. You can get for around fifty bucks and it gives you almost full controls. Great work. Can't wait to see more from this thread.

Looks AWESOME!! And great find on the 'booster' seat!! That sucker looks like it'll get you up pretty high -- for people who simply have to see OVER the windshield or peeps who are just plain short, we use our type IV flotation cushion. Great work!

First off, great work! I'm doing a very similar install and I have a potentially dumb question. How the heck do you get the throttle lever off to remove the drivers side panel?

its very simple, just remove the screw on the pivot/neutral button, the underneath it a allen set screw, loosen and slide throttle off.

I agree totally on the changing of impellars. Sure mine is a DD but it was still much easier just to remove the whole thing. Took all of about 15-20 mins to get everything taken apart, replaced and put back together. I found that the first time a ran it until it warmed up it had a steady drip coming from the vents that you can see in your second pic. But I let it warm up and watched it and it doesnt do it anymore. I checked and everything was tight, I think it just had to get worked in just right. That boat is looking really good!
