What affect does that have with the tongue weight? I was thinking of just pulling up enough so the truck tires are off the scale and then just lift the trailer jack enough to release the hitch ball.

I was lucky with the place I used and I could do as many variations as I wanted for $7. You can see the weight on the display as you drive on, off and you can see if it varies as you start pulling the truck of and the trailer on.

Can anyone show me the drain on their fishbox on the 210wa? My drain is just a hole, and not a very clean cut hole either, makes plugging to hold ice a pain. I’m wondering if there is supposed to be some fitting there.

Building the shroud, using cheap XPs foam from hd and 1708, I’m sure I won’t be able to stand on it but that’s ok. The top will have a bait cutting station which drains aft, and four rod holders possible two cup holders.

I have a nylon thru hull there somewhat similar to this.

I have a hose connected to the barbed end so when I pull the plug, it drains into the bilge. The fish box is not insulated so you won't keep ice in there for any extended time. I use frozen water in old anti freeze jugs (cause they are thick) and place one in the bottom. Then add salt water to cover the jug. Gets very cold.  :ScrChin:
