The winter seemed long but the temps have warmed up enough now and I'm back making progress on the boat. Hoping it will see water this spring or summer.
The sink plugs seemed to work great. I may have way over did the 5200 but that's how the original fittings looked so I just followed what they did. The inside looks the same so they really shouldn't leak hopefully. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on them for the first few outings though.
I bought a drip pan to set the gas tank on to hopefully keep the gas and oil from getting into the carpet. However, I have a limited amount of space in the back of the boat and the pan was quite a bit larger than what the tank needed. After searching online for a smaller one and realizing they didn't come any smaller, I resorted to raiding my wife's stock of cookie sheets. Unfortunately none of those were large enough however. So, after pondering it for a bit, I did the next best thing and formed my exact required shape from the one I purchased. Turned out pretty good actually.
Still have the wiring to do but I did get the console put back together. Initially I wasn't crazy about having a wood dash but I'm pretty happy with how it looks. I put the fuse block on the back side of the console which is wood and obviously the switches are on the dash. I'm not sure how to run the wires between the two since they'll need to be run alongside the metal console. Any suggestions on how to run wire along a metal wall and somehow keeping it secure?
The dash - just waiting for the steering wheel to come now.
I still have more work to do on the back decking but hopefully that will be finished up in a couple of weeks. I do think I can see a light at the end of this tunnel!
