2008 Triton Rehab

[zippyduck]

Lee,
Very nice work!

I should have done a total rework myself.

I am about to rewire my project Duracraft center console aluminum 18' boat. I have 4 awg for battery cables, 6 awg for my trolling motor extension run, 14 gauge for the trolling motor. Was looking at 10 for running to the fuse and switch panels, you wouldn't happen to have any left over would you ? Should I run something like 18 gauge from lights, bilges, Etc to the fuse panel?

I ran #10 from the battery switch to the new panel. #14 from the panel to everything else even though they are all on 5 amp fuses or less.

#18 will be fine for your nav/anchor lights provided they are L.E D.s, but I  believe in heavier wire = less possibility of a ...

Finished up the bow with the Mega360 this afternoon as well as the new panel in the rod locker. I also installed a 30 amp marine auto reset circuit breaker to the new panel.

All that's left is the bracing of the pizza ship Triton factory dash and installing the H10. The wires are waiting on it.

Worked in it another 3 hours this afternoon. I beefed up the Triton blow molded dash with a 1" samich of star board and hung the H10.

About an hour in the morning and she's going in the water!

Pics of the sandwich and support brackets in the dash that I made by heating and bending 1/2 star board.

Went through the entire install again checking connections and zip tied all of the spaghetti back in place.

Had to dodge some nasty T-storms but finally got her back in the water.

Did a walk around video and will post in when I can figure out how....

Tks for sharing this with us.  You've done a great job of upgrading your boat.

Dave will be here in a couple of months and we're going to do it then. It no rush and since he is a Merc Mechanic during the summer in Ontario,  I let him handle all the mechanical stuff.

Looking at this photo........



........it looks like your graph will cover up the Merc Monitor to where you won't be able to see it.

I'm not sure about the Humminbirds, but I can get all of the Merc Monitor info displayed on my Lowrance units via NMEA.

I got the smaller Merc Monitor. It should go in the 2-1/2" blank I have between the water pressure and volt meter that's hidden by the orange towel.

You can see it thru the steering wheel in this pic.

Ok cool. I wasn't aware that they had a smaller version 

[FD]

Here is the walk around video, I hope.....

Looking good, Lee. Will have to make a trip to Hatch soon to see it in person.

Very cool FD, looks even better in video compared to photos. Thanks for sharing!

The world stands aside for a man with a plan.  This has been a great project for all of us to follow.  A lot of work that all began Last December.  We have been entertained by all of your projects over the past year.  The scope of work from the design and build of your truck, to the new shop at your home, a series of honey do items in the house and now the complete rehab of the Triton.  Somehow I don't think you are finished with your projects just yet.  I wonder what is next.   Great Job Lee " You Da Man"

Thanks Bud,

Many projects are on the list.  Most of them are boring and lots of work. I've got half of my upper deck torn off at the moment trying to stop the leaks below.

In the video there is part of a lumber package laying on the driveway. That's fencing for the side yard and landscaping that will start soon.  Again boring and lots of work.

An outdoor kitchen and boat themed custom bar are coming later this summer.

The one to look forward to is a hot rod  "Monster Truck" Golf Cart build that is coming in the fall or whenever Dave gets back.

Wow what a wonderful job you did on this.  Tech is way above my capabilities and I would spend the whole day trying to figure it out.  It looks like you have all the bases covered, now it's just getting those you find to come out and play.  Good luck with your new toys, and thanks for the video.  I am very impressed!

Thanks George.

I had a lot of coaching on how to get this done. Many hours on the phone with Dave,  WayneP and Hodges Marine the get all the parts figured out and ordered.

Anytime. You have a standing invite.

Santa brought some new toys for the Triton.  This will complete the "1 boat network" for the Triton.  Josh and I are fishing tomorrow and will be pulling the boat Monday...

Stay Tuned for pics and details.

Twin 12' Talons replaced the old 8' Power Poles. 

We got them paired to each other and to the blue tooth foot pedal, the Ulterra, and the remotes.  The pairing took longer than the install.  we had to call Minn Kota to finally get it done.

A bath later this week and then back on the lift.

Nice! I miss my Talons! Not that PPs are bad, I just liked the straight up and down and no hydraulic fluid. See that you got tilt brackets. They make it easy to change a broken stake and test the Talons, if you have an issue.
