Finishing Hatch Covers and Electrical!! [[ Carolina Skiff Rebuild Part 19]]

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Finally things are beginning to come together piece by piece. With all the groundwork in place for the electrical. It is down to the finishing touches. I still have to get all the light, switches, and bilge pump wired and mounted. As well as finally finish all my hatch covers. There is still a ton of work to do, but it finally looks like a boat!
I have been putting off the hatch covers for what seems like forever. I had a few made, but still have 2 or 3 to mold. With so many other things to do I have just put it off. The time has come where I have to get it done. I still have to figure out my shelving in the console and leaning post. I have went back and forth on it, but finally settled on a game plan. I want them to be removable. Therefore I am going to make a aluminum tract to hold them in place. That way I always have access to the fuel tank if needed.
With the wiring finally almost done it is time to move on with the project. Next I have to get the trolling motor installed. Probably one of the most exciting parts of the project for me. I have always had the cheaper hand steer or foot pedal motors. Not this time. I still have a huge to do list, cranking up the motor included, but it is coming together. I hope everyone has enjoyed this project along with myself. Thank you so much to all who have watched and subscribed!

    I appreciate you walking us through your build. I just purchased a j16 as a project boat. I’m excited to see this boat in the water. Thanks again

    Just wonder. Have you installed garboard drains on this skiff. ? . You are adding a lot of weight to the boat with batteries trolling motor etc. If you get water down into the hull you could run into some flotation issues. Yawing issues. I know it's a complete refurb.
