    Nice! Something to think about...I added a breaker between the battery and the console. Makes life easy when working on any console issues later. Also...12v at the back for riggers if you need and accessories like maybe a filet knife.

    Wood is relatively cheap compared to Seacast or any of the other pourable's. Not to mention aluminum boats don't have sealed transoms like fiberglass. It could be done but the work involved wouldn't be worth it.

    Lay the drain in splashwell and trace it out. Drill out the center with 1/8 bit. Then gradually step up to the same diameter as the drain, from the outside. Then finish it with a small sanding drum.

    Be sure to re-use the inserts for the transom holes or replace with new. Coat them liberally with 5200. Keep their location in mind if you are putting the kicker directly on the transom vs a bracket. If transom, mount a piece of starboard inside the splashwell so the pressure from the kicker mount is spread out. In lew of starboard, I use black poly cutting board that I buy at Walmart. I also use it for transducer plates. Cuts easy and routs nice too and lots cheaper.

    Nice Rig! Running a 90 195 Sportfisherman that I picked up a few years ago. I would imagine the transom wasn't through bolted to due the lack of access without removing all the foam. The only through bolts I have access to are the motor bolts. Keep in mind that aluminum and stainless don't mix well, just like aluminum and PT wood. Unfortunately not really any other options though. Having a good painted surface on the aluminum helps. You can also add a plastic washer as a barrier between the hull and any stainless nut, bolt head, or washer. I like your use of the Lowrance for gauges but I would be concerned with the chance of a network failure. I would have a voltmeter at a min and maybe engine temp. Good Luck!

    It says sold on the first post.

    Doesn't necessarily add controls but it does allow me to troll a plot created from a chart reader.

    Control not necessarily sonar.

    So..currently running a Garmin 93svuhd. Went with Garmin due to previous Garmin experience, ease of use, and customer service. Very pleased although the GT54 ducer isn't ideal. Last fall installed a new xi5. Awesome addition but now I would like to run it off the FF. I know Lowrance is my only option. Question is do I switch my Garmin or add a Lawrence specifically for the xi5? Can I run a Lowrance without a ducer for the xi5? Or, run a 2d ducer for the Lowrance just for trolling and keep the Garmin for my bassin days. I know the xi5 has a built in 2D ducer, but I can't imagine that would be able to read bottom consistently when trolling or pick up my downrigger weights. Any thoughts?

    If the price is right, I wouldn't hesitate with the 90. Is it underpowered...yep... but it will plane just fine especially if you are alone quite a bit. Also, being a bit underpowered means easier to deal.

    Thanks Frogger! Good to know they stand behind their product. I am looking used but if I don't find anything by spring...Amazon it is.
