John, thanks for the post and great pics. Glad you're in town this week.

She's pretty much a shell. The chipboard at the transom is temporary support.

Gunnel cap is in upside-down position. Sit on top livewell imported from Fla. Last pic is original '75 flip-back seat salvaged from Miss Marco.

Thanks again Cap'n John :thumright:

Quote from: "Skoot"

1. How many gallons is that tank, looks huge
2. How do you plan on running the plumbing for the livewell?
3. What are those yellow things on the gunwales? Im guessing Floor support, but they appear higher than the stringers :scratch:

Looking great, do u think she'll be ready by summer? :cheers:

Tank is rated at 75, will hold 82.
The livewell plumbing will run inside and beside the port stringer. The rear tank bulkhead will be cut at the top to allow passage for the hoses to the stern. Inch and a half will exit the transom, hole is there but may not have shown up in the pic. Clamshell pickup, 3/4 inch in front of engines.

The builder also does aquarium work for the state...those yellow pieces are hollow fiberglass FRP girders. They are below the stringers about 1/2 inch, allowing for a "crown" in the floor down the centerline.

Hey thanks! And expect her to be rigged and ready by April. Then take her out and see if she'll eat chicken :lol:

So Scott, I have a question about this last pic. Is that spiderweb gel or a guide coat?

Title: Re: 1973 22-2 Rebuild
Post by: RickK on March 01, 2013, 12:32:23 PM

Are these moulds?  Is it that easy to make a mold?  Some MDF and then spray it with a release agent?

Title: Re: 1973 22-2 Rebuild
Post by: gran398 on March 01, 2013, 12:35:11 PM

Lew, THANKS in a big way for this :thumright:

The last two pics are not my boat. It is not an Aquasport. It is that 21 Seamark we were all talking about several months ago, the Shamrock/AS clone. Looks pretty cool though, right?

That is the first one they have made in a while. It is an AC fir floor and transom, splatter coat interior, wide washboard gunnels. This boat is going to Chesapeake for commercial use.

Rick, yes, that is the floor mold and the tank hatch mold, yet to be cored. As you have described is pretty much how they are made. He used melamine to build them. You are looking at the bottoms: all of the floor hatches are recessed. We went round and round on this, it will be more $, but I'm planning on keeping her. And when it is necessary at some point to deal with the tank....it won't be with a Skilsaw.

The small boxes are the molds for the port and starboard aft boxes. Starboard side will hold the fuel filters and exit for the engine rigging.

The oval thing being held in the air is the beginning of the internal mounting base for the livewell. Thanks Eugene for this tip, we removed the external lip on the livewell base for a cleaner install.

The red non-skid is a close-up of the molds for the casting platform deck hatches. They were taken from Fitz's hatches. Thanks Fitz!

Since the tank was out...took some pics of the bulkheads, false tank floor, and cutouts for the rigging runs.

The console was taken to Gore Bros. here in town for the Sanchez Bros. top to be fitted/altered. We are going to make the top longer on the front, and get rid of the downward curve at the front. Plus beef it up and add some layout rodholders, spreader light mounts,  running light mounts, and electronics box, and drill all of the rigging holes. Then powder coat everything to match the gel.

It is coming along pretty good now. And as Matt said, when the floor goes in...things should really pick up.

Thanks guys! Lew, thank you again :thumright:

Quote from: "seabob4"

Scott, the glass work is excellent!! :thumleft:  :thumleft:

Couple suggestions on the top and console.  You're going to have an e-box, right?  Have them cut 1" holes in the aft legs, then weld short legs going to the sides of the top for wire entry.  A whole lot cleaner than just a hole out of the leg, a hole in the ebox, then covered with spit-loom.

Second, nothing wrong with attaching the aft legs to the console, but that area has to be beefed up substantially.  The reason that earlier model 225/245 Ospreys went from that type of design to a top design where all 4 legs t/bolted to the deck was stress cracking around the aft leg mounting flanges.  Core that area at least 12" X 12" to spread the load, and no foam, it needs to resist compression.  Coosa would be a good choice...

She's looking good!!!

Thanks SB...looks like professional riggers think alike :thumright:


You would like the boys up here. Only one way, the right way.

Ditto on your e-box suggestion...already done. They have also added second legs to the front console for additional support. Plus two additional  inline aluminum bars fore to aft for structural support/mounts, etc. And legs with drilled circular stanchions mounting to the box.

The console is an Onslow Bay 20 guide, new gen.  Taller, narrower, syn.core all around, including the electronics front. Above deck cored base (interior console floor), with toe kick below.

The console core material I'm not familiar with. Not Coosa or Nida or Divinycell.

Thanks!

First pic is the floor out of the mold. Lines shown are where the melamine joints bedded a bit. (Not joints in the core)

Large forward recessed hatch goes in front of the console.

Second pic, coring at transom end, so you can see the layup.

Last pic, starboard stringer, exit for chase.

Interior hullside foam core will be glassed-in next....finished, then gelled. Should end up just like a liner, but stronger. The builder says it will also deaden the sound of hull slap.

This is the weight for the truck and trailer

(http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j331/gran398/IMG_1321.jpg)

Here is the weight with the boat on the trailer, and the T Top in the back of the truck. The T Top and radio box weigh 90#

(http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j331/gran398/IMG_1322.jpg)

So, 2340 pounds. But the weight of the T Top must be subtracted, so the boat hull as shown weighs 2250#.

For a complete dry weight three hatches and hardware will be added, giving a finished dry weight of 2310 pounds estimated.

The livewell is the Dorado knock-off. If were to do it again, would be double wall construction, rather than single wall. The double wall allows the plumbing to bury between the walls....my pic shown of the inlet feed....with the double wall, that directional inlet could have been hidden.
The livewell shown was purchased early in the build from a firm in Tampa. They are readily available there. We cut off the outside flange that mounts to the deck, and went with a hidden, internal mounting system, per Shipoke's direction. The oval mounting flange pics are shown here on the build. On today's pics, mounted on the deck aft of the console.
The internal flange gives a clean, unobstructed, custom install.

The black fitting appears (from the bottom) to be a recirculator/aerator. It is actually the 3/4 inlet, with adjustable aerator nozzle above, supplied by Shipoke.
Shipoke Boatworks has supplied all of the specialty 316 hinges, Orcas deck cams, pull up cleats, etc. Quality T Tops of Tampa supplied the oval livewell cushion, flip-back backrest, hardware, etc.

Here are the pics from this morning. Everything is pretty much installed. The flipback backrest is from Quality in Tampa, powdercoated here. Added a console insert footrest. It will be trimmed with starboard at the rigger. Should any members have interest in a recessed console footrest to fit a 27 inch console, let me know. The mold is here in town.

Only thing left is the transom boxes.

Thinking about a console layout something like this...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/ScottsConsole.jpg)

All subject to rearrangement, don't know if the little 2" gauges will be small enough OD wise to be one above the other, but it would be nice.  Plus should you decide to go Flo-Scan, gives ample room, as that is a 4" gauge...

EDIT: Scott Rhodes
I don't know where to start, but I'll try.
This dream...this culmination...... Wow. What an adventure. This is the second hull. The first 22-2 was delivered as a wreck. That riches to rags thread from three years back is documented here.
Now is the last chapter. I have chosen to forgo local promises, and dance with who brung ya. Swing with who swung ya. Our Classic Aquasport brothers.
Have utmost confidence that Miss D will be rigged right. Farley is the MAN, and man....wish we had been born brothers. Bob's work speaks volumes, it is here for all to see. And again...what a friend.

First, the hullsides, which are virtually ripple free, the gelcoat shine incredible!

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/MoreScott22-2001_zps2779ceb7.jpg)

The gunwales, the same shine, if not better!

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/MoreScott22-2002_zps77101b2d.jpg)

What's amazing is the underside of the aft compartment lids and the bilge access hatch.  Either done with 2 piece molds or using the RTM method of building parts.  In short, ALMOST as good a finish as the hullsides and gunwales!

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/MoreScott22-2004_zps0d9ac4c5.jpg)

Love this touch.  Acorn nut's on the studs of the stern eyes...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/MoreScott22-2012_zps11debc5c.jpg)

That takes time to do that install, trust me.  Also, on the bolts that secure the frame of the swing-back seat at the helm...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/MoreScott22-2007_zpsb3c1ace5.jpg)

Title: Re: 1973 22-2 Rebuild
Post by: seabob4 on March 03, 2013, 06:48:20 AM

What I did was install the underwater lights on the transom boxes, just to "get my feet wet" cutting up this beautiful boat.  I chose a location midway between the inboard edge of the boxes and the chine radius...looked "good" to me.  First, the holes.  Very simple install, (2) mounting holes and the 1/4" wire pass through hole...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/ScottsUWlights001_zpsb4aa53f2.jpg)

ALWAYS c'sink holes in gel coat, regardless of whether screws or bolts will be used to secure.  Screw/bolt threads catch that gel and start to chip it, that is the beginning of a gel crack that will show up later on and keep spreading.

This is the key to installing Chris's UW lights.  Make sure the little wire grooves are filled with 5200, this is the key to keep the wire pass through from leaking...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/ScottsUWlights002_zpsb884d206.jpg)

Shoot some 5200 in the mounting holes, no need in the wire pass through hole, as the previous pic took care of that...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/ScottsUWlights003_zps7bee2492.jpg)

Then install with 3/4" #6 panheads...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/ScottsUWlights004_zpsa1e7be4d.jpg)

A nice clean install on the inside...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/ScottsUWlights005_zps8cc87308.jpg)

And viola, UW lights...

So, now it has helm parts!!!

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/Helmpics001_zps2671ddea.jpg)

Helm pump and binnacle just temporary, of course, as I don't want them in my way when inside the console.  But I think the placement came out well, feels REAL natural when leaning against the livewell cushion, levers seem to naturally fall at hand.  Had to be concerned with the t-top leg on the port side, left plenty of room for even the pudgiest fingers...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/Helmpics002_zpsc62ce468.jpg)

As well as the other side of the wheel and the port lever...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/Helmpics003_zps8b2bbe9a.jpg)

Which leaves us with this flat for mounting switches.  We've decided to locate the trim/tilt switch panel there, below that the ignition switches and kill switches...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/Helmpics004_zps60327273.jpg)

So Scotty, here's your lights...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/Helmpics007_zpsb6999603.jpg)

They look excellent!!  Nightime LED pics really don't do the LED lighting justice, you really have to be there to appreciate them.  

Anyway, regarding the compass, as much as I tried to "fudge" dimensions today, the SS-2000 just wasn't gonna work with the electronics box.  I needed 3/4"...that may as well been a mile when you need just a leeetle bit extra room.

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/ElectronicsDoorpics002_zps4f8fd26a.jpg)

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/ElectronicsDoorpics003_zpsbdbb32be.jpg)

With room to spare for the SS-1000.  Not much room, but room to spare...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/ElectronicsDoorpics2001_zps3d39efdd.jpg)

This box will go behind it later....

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/ElectronicsDoorpics2002_zpsf226f322.jpg)

Electronics mount on the vertical flat, nice little storage bin below that.  Both pieces will be installed from the back side so there will be no visible fasteners.  What I'm contemplating doing is installing the "box" from the front side using flat head screws, c'sinking the glass so the heads are flush, all around the opening within the perimeter of the frame.  Then come in from the backside and secure the frame.  The frame will hide the screw heads...

Built Scott's hull harness and T-top harness (need to get some speaker wire), just had to run them this eve.  Easy pull, although I'm giving quite a bit of thought as to how I'm going to get them from the aft starboard box into the bilge area in a really neat and slick way...will give it more thought tomorrow.  Several options...

The reason Scott's hull harness looks so "small" is that I ground all the aft equipment to a ground bus in the stern, then tie the ground bus aft to the ground bus forward with a 10GA wire.  Lot's of builders won't spring for the aft ground bus (a whopping $15), so all the aft grounds run forward, and you end up with this big arse harness and a TON of grounds at the helm.  My method makes for a cleaner install, a CHEAPER install, as well as the fact that you have a handy dandy ground available to you right there when you need to do some trouble-shooting...

Everyone has their own opinions, makes for a better world. The fun thing about building a boat is you have the chance to make decisions along the way, hopefully for personal ease of use. For sure maintenance concerns came into play on this one...I'm not getting any younger.

Also opted for zero nonskid on the gunnels and bowcap. This added right much expense...non-skid makes minor finish issues disappear. But to me these lines are the most beautiful part of a 22-2. All of these decisions were the result of thought and input from experienced folks in whom I have confidence.

Here's a cool pic from last weekend's adventure :wink:

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/More22-2Pics002_zps2f496274.jpg)

Think those little grommets really clean things up a bit, besides affording chafe protection.  She got her nav lights...

Scott and I have decided to bring the stereo down to the electronics box at the helm.

AND she got her gauges!!!

Going down to Plastics America on Adamo tomorrow morn. I have a drawing made plus I made sort of a "splash" of the console where the windshield will land, gonna see what they can do for me.  Yeah, I know, UPD, but PA is handy to me, they've made me a windshield before for the Talon, see what they want for this one.  Green tint.

Talked to my buddy at Teak Isle today, he will be happy to make us a batt switch/charger inlet box to our specs.  He sending me some starboard samples so we get the right color.  Apparently Parker changed their gel color in the last year or so, Scott.  He just wants to make sure YOUR Parker white is the same as his (they make stuff for Parker too).

Bilge work. Un-plumb everything to make room for the removal of Flo-Jet wash down/ install of Shur-flo Extreme.  

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/Bilgepics002_zpsba2bef4c.jpg)

Wiring the pumps, wash down, live well, and bilge.  All the wiring runs are secured on the underside of the cockpit sole...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/Bilgepics005_zps2505950b.jpg)

No sagging wires or bundles, nothing hanging down or getting in the way, just wide open bilge.

Bus bar in starboard box.

Fuel/water separators...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/Bilgepics007_zps0d5d2991.jpg)

Inlets and outlets on the same side.  I plan on routing the 2 outlets (the inboard one over top the outboard separator) to the liner, then aft, then back inboard to the rigging ports.  This will keep the starboard box from just being filled with fuel lines, not to mention all the rigging for the motors.  
I didn't go with the "clear bowl" type separators, they don't fit.  Too tall.

Mod Edit/Error: Unfortunately, I left this next series of photos out of the thread because they were posted elsewhere. Still they are a valuable addition to this thread and as such are added here. Chronologically, they occurred prior to the "tuning" photos below so they are in the right spot of the thread. Photo credits to Scott (gran398) and Farley(Fitz).
Enjoy.

Fitz did a tremendous job on the 75 Mercs. He taught me a lot too, and I'm very appreciative.
THANKS Farley :thumright:  :thumright:
I thought I'd share what was accomplished. What really impressed me was the organization of parts, cleanliness of the work area, and processes. Nothing was ever "forced" or beat on.

Here are a few pics to start:

Fellas, Farley began my apprenticeship showing the proper technique to remove old gaskets. My first job was "Gasket Scraper."
Then I moved up to Torch Man. Finally, I was a Torque Wrench Man.
He did a helluva job.

Had a great visit from Farley this morn, always a pleasure.  Helped as best I could, but he really had only some minor tweaking to do while the motors ran on the muffs...

Alright, split loom is gone, did my best with the 2 engine harnesses, got the trim and tilt leads routed and secured to where they're gonna tie in to the TNT panel...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/Sundayconsolepics001_zpsdaf08427.jpg)

The neutral safety wires you see there, they'll wait until the binnacle is in...which will be the last thing that gets installed in the console.  All leads, speaker wires, ducer cable, everything, run up to the side of the electronics box, basically waiting on the box to finish that off...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/Sundayconsolepics002_zpsac196fd4.jpg)

Even got the compass backlighting and the nav lights (the lone rangers on the other side of the console!) all routed and terminated...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/Sundayconsolepics003_zps7a55861d.jpg)

In short, console is basically done save for the switch/breaker panel TNT switch panel.  

Interesting little fact.  The under gunnel speakers will be, as the crow flies, about 3' from the stereo.  The amount of speaker wire I ran?  30' for starboard, 40' for port.

Aluminum fuel tank.  Stainless fuel fill.  NO BONDING WIRES!!!  Tab welded to the tank for the bond wire, but no wire.  That is relatively easy.  But will I be able to snake a cable or whatever to the fill to run a bond wire?

Well, there's more than one way to skin a cat...

No way was I going to be able to snake a bond wire forward from the tank...but, from looking at the pics, I should have a straight shot aft from the pass through where the hoses enter that forward compartment...and I did!  And I have a ground bus back there!

All is happy in Tie Bar world!!

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/TieBarWorld001_zpsdd39a5e7.jpg)

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/TieBarWorld003_zps85209878.jpg)

The issue we faced was that the tie bar was in REAL close proximity to the cylinder, and, for those of you that have twins know, as the motors start to get close to hardover, the cylinder rotates up...clearance issues bigtime.  Stupid me had basically forgotten all about what we USED to use before Teleflex redesigned the tie bar and attachment points, we called them adapters back in the 90s.  So did some searching, they are called "extension plates", got the pair today from Great Lakes Skipper, brand new unopened, for basically $90. Note in the second pic, the most crucial element, clearance wise, would have been the port side hose fitting...and now that's a good inch away from the bar at hardover.  So all is good, took all of 15 minutes to remove the old plates, install the new plates, and install the tie bar.

Post by: seabob4 on March 18, 2013, 08:08:25 AM

Anyway, Scott wanted to see pics of his Seastar cylinder and tie bar.  Knew ALL wasn't right with the tie bar the other day, as I knew that the trunnions that came with his original would have to be used to obtain the 2 axis' of rotation one needs when tilting 1 motor while the remaining motors stays in the water.  Shortened the bar as much as I could, threaded the ends all the way on, the threaded rods all the way in, got rid of the jam nuts (the hollow tube now acts as a big long jam nut)...and got 25 3/4" centers, which is what I was aiming for with 26" centers at the prop shafts.  Anything narrower and cutting will have to take place!!

Bar and cylinder...

So, you guys wanted to see the electronics.  Well, installing that box was no easy chore, basically had to take it all apart and install one piece at a time, as we wanted no visible fasteners.  Took some time and effort, but here's the result...

What I have to deal with on the back side, pretty easy.  Still need to secure the Icom with back mounts, but not today.

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/ElectronicsBox006_zps2048967a.jpg)

This is a view while I'm standing, pretending I'm Scott's height (5'10" versus my 6'2").  Because of the depth of Scott's box, I wanted to kinda keep things within his view, sitting or standing...hence the proximity of the stereo to the VHF.  I think Scott (I know ME!) would have liked the mounting face a bit less deep, but, at this point, it is what it is.

Ordered 18' steering hoses, always have to keep the fingers crossed as you don't want to short, you don't want to long.  Came in, so I thought I would run them (more on that later), see what we have.

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/FloScan006_zpsa8df0e57.jpg)

With 4' under the helm, may have to hide a foot.  I'm happy, although a little close on the port side elbow...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/FloScan009_zpsf91149a9.jpg)

Pulling on the motors hard to starboard, no more than a 1/32" between the hose fitting and the tie bar bolt.  So, I'll rotate the elbows down a bit (both, a little close on the starboard side as well), and we'll be good.

Many times there is a need to rotate those elbows on Seastar cylinders due to clearance issues. Here's how you do it.  Teleflex installs those elbows pretty damn tight, almost feels as if you may break something if you try and rotate them...you won't.  But here's the trick.  Remove the bleeder fitting above the elbow.  Now put a pair of vise grips on that elbow, REALLY TIGHT, and loosen it.  Yeah, that's right, loosen it.  This will break the "set" that the elbow has taken in the threads. Now go ahead and rotate to the orientation you want.  Don't have to remove the elbow and put new sealant on it, it will be fine and not leak.  Re-install the bleeder fitting, good to go...

For those with cylinders that have the combination bleeder/hose fitting, same deal if you need to re-orient.  And on both types of cylinders, ALWAYS check hardover travel (both ways), as well as full tilt range (do it while keeping an eye on everything!) to ensure you have the proper clearances...

Today was a day to rig the motors.  Normally, a pair of 75s  would take a couple hours tops but wanted to make sure Miss D not only was rigged right but looked right, from an aesthetic standpoint.  So a lot of studying, trial runs, temporary placements...here's how she turned out.

So, after determining that both engine's rigging and the steering hoses would fit in the rigging sleeve...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/Newrigging001_zpsf0a399a5.jpg)

Here's what I have come up with, albeit all totally temporary pending approval...and new rigging sleeving...,

Keep in mind, no primer bulbs in the pick as that involves cutting fuel lines, and I don't think we're ready to do that yet.

This ain't gonna be easy, especially getting the holes cut in the sleeving for each break-out point.  And I STILL don't like poking holes in that pretty transom.  Had to drill 2 today (don't worry, c'sunk, no gel chipping) to secure the rigging and give it the "look" I wanted...

Speakers installed, LED tape lights epoxied in place (that's what all the masking tape is for while the epoxy kicked off).

Well, as Scott promised, the "panels" showed up today.  1/16" thick.  Yes, that's correct.  Scott had told me that the material was a bit flimsy...well, there's flimsy and then there is FLIMSY!

Cut the hole in the dash, leaving as much material as I could to give the "panel" as much backing as I could...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/SwitchandBreakerpanel003_zpsa6122a03.jpg)

The panel with the switches illuminated...

Wired...

Back lighting...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/SwitchandBreakerpanel006_zps57db1c09.jpg)

PVC L-channel attached to the top sides of the switches with 3M 2-sided foam tape (the good stuff, can hang 5 lbs. with it), then 2 strips of blue LEDS attached to the L-channel with the same foam tape.

Effect achieved. :thumright:

Final engine rigging today, except for hooking up the shift and throttle cables.  That will come after I install the binnacle, as we make all our adjustments at the engine end...given a properly installed binnacle.

And adapter ends on the cables?

 Trim/Tilt panel of Scott's work...and I didn't know if the little piece of plastic would withstand enlarging the holes without crumbling in my hands...so, I made my own...

(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh301/seabob4/Scott%20Rhodes%2022-2/TrailerBunk002_zpscbd331b3.jpg)

switch panel installed and wired, the primer bulbs complete, the forward LEDs complete, the port speaker wired, the console light done, and the trim ring around the footrest secured from the inside...
