Been a while since I posted any progress on my fishing boat, but I have been working on it almost each day. This photo shows the routing of the front anchor rope pulley, the stowed position for the front running light, and the new support for the trolling motor. Due to the shape of the bow brace, the support for the anchor rope pulley took some planning.
Again, this shows the new support for the trolling motor. The original plywood support was rotted beyond use.
The rear anchor rope/pulley was installed to replace a stand-off that I fail to understand. These anchor rope pulley lock the rope from going out due to the pressure of the anchor. A light tug releases the rope and the rope can be retrieved and stowed. I'd like the anchor hanging on the rope to be coated with some type of insulation, but . . .
Same photo twice? Well, it was a long day.
The starting battery was supposed to fit under the seat, but it's a few inches too tall unless I cut the handle. This battery is intended to supply clean power to the sonar. Connecting the sonar to the battery powering the trolling motor might give some false signals. A work in progress and some things may work and others may not.
