Getting the boat together for 2007 |
|
Boat preparation is ongoing but finally coming to a close for the 2007 season. With the partnership with new sponsors this year we bascially have reconfigured our boat. First order of business was getting the Cannon and Humminbird product installed on the boat and fully integrated. Because of our through gunwale wiring technique we had to do some serious planning for this and work in conjunction with a number of sponsors to make it happen the way we wanted.
Working with Traxstech we were able to modify the Traxstech 3" riser with swivel base to accomodate a through hole to run a wiring harness. Jeff Miller machined a hole through the starboard side of the riser and added a 3/4 hole through the mounting plate at the bottom. This allowed us to route the Cannon power cable and the two Cannon link relay cables through the base plate and into our gunwales. We did have to cut the relay cable in half and then solder them back together once they had been run. You can see in the pictures our first test fit of a Cannon Mag 20 DT. We didn't dress the cables yet but the fit and look are very nice with no cables hanging over the gunwales. Can't wait to the get the Mag 20 DT/TS Tournament Series installed and integrated. We did finish the integration of the Humminbird 997 C SI but we didn't take pictures of that yet - we will grab some shots and post them as soon as we can. |  Prior to installation the Traxstech riser with the Cannon wiring harness routed through it  Test fitting a Cannon body on the base without the wires wrapped properly  Side view with the CannonLink relay cables in place, power cord will get wrapped in permanent installation |
| We installed a number of vinyl decals today, all the ones we had at this point, we expect to recieve some more prior to splash. We did install both sides and are applying a good coat of wax. Thanks to Shane from Dreamweaver for making the extra effort to get the Dreamweaver, Action Fly, and Spin Doctor decals to us. |  |
