You see, this profession is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherfleckers. Motherfleckers who thought their ass would age like wine.” -Marsellus Wallace

Sorry about the sideways images, they are rotated correctly before I bring them to the page.
Help...need better skill sets.

Made up a limit strap of some 10mm sk75 dyneema cordage to allow the clam shell console to hang open.
As I was about to trim the outside end I thought.... geez..that looks like my wife's hair. Than I decided to leave it there as a wee reminder that I have a family and great girl to come home to safely.

Thanks Brother.

Now that the bow double fabric is installed, today I sanded the areas where the 4 Milpro F 470 grab line bases will get glued before the rain begins today. The square boilerplate rubber pads will be step zones if they pass my bond tests.

Cheers, Don

That fish looks 60ish to me.

Cheers, Don

What a great feeling to harvest a fine fish with your hard work......WAHOO.

Picked up my powder coated motor bits and prepped for one of the last wear strip glue jobs (once i can stand the fumes).

Cheers, Don

Ive been sick for 5 days, so tried a few hrs today. Decided to install a second cable port to handle throttle, gear select and starter cables. The main rigging duct is getting too busy. The second port will be sealed once all is rigged.

Welcome to Spearfishing World.

Yes that is a great product.

Thanks Don

When the big steering nut finally popped out the far end ,fulids dripping everywhere ...I felt like screaming ...It's a boy.:@
One little tip, every time you pull one through have a new cord tied to the end. I have one more small speedo tube to snake through tomorrow.Going to stop by my local porn store for some super lube.

I did have time to fire up the GPS and radar and no anomalies, guess my solder work is sound.

Cheers, Don

Last one, before I complete cable hook up and seal.

Cheers, Don

How do you get a shite load of throttle cables, steering, tubes and wires inside a 2'' rigging hose...
cheery carwash soap, poly cord and a lot of determination.
Waiting for a Y union to split the arch wires to a smaller dia duct.

Cheers, Don

Here is the Starboard side, with sample of the 1//8''x 2'' edge cap. Wax paper used to fit one side at a time.
Procured 7' of 2'' rigging duct to seal all wires and control cables in.
Back at it tomorrow.

Cheers, Don

Just one port bow wear patch of 1600dtx fabric to double skin the bow and tube seam. No pix of prep...you guys know the drill by now,;) I'll do the Starboard one this weekend.

Cheers, Don
