I added a 12' sub in the cockpit. It's dead center of the port side high seat. (Seat facing forward left of captains chair) I. Choose this spot fora few reasons. One the sound has area to bounce, it's not just sending sounds into dead air space it has alot of solid area to bounce off of, and two easy run for speaker wire and easy mounting. You can reach the back of the sub through the locker and run the wires right through the floor in the locker and over to the amp, I use that locker for jackets. The jackets help muffle the sound and last the only time u can see the sub is when you walking up out of the cabin. Sounds great and when u want that little extra kick of bass just crack the locker door and the difference is huge.
As for the canvas. Mine is also from gls. No is not a perfect fit but it works very well. The one major change I had to make was moving the male snaps. Originally there screwed into the glass just above the rub rail. I left the originals there and use all the originals up until the transom. I screwed all new male snaps to the underside of the rub rail in the same vertical line as the original snaps. This way the canvas hugs the rub rail and it pulls tight(Canvas was to long) doing it this was hides the extra set of snaps and puts the extra canvas to good use. Other than that my canvas fits prefect everywhere else.
Very curiouse to see what material u use and how much it will run you to relax in ate the cabin to wood..
Thanks for the info! Where exactly did you go through the firewall to get behind the head unit to the amp? Hopefully my Great Lakes tops work out just as well as yours...keeping my fingers crossed.
GriimSpeed,
That's a long list of things that you did. I am surprised that you have hydraulic steering. The one I just looked it (a 1997) does not have it.
Yup, there is a fill hole on the top of the steering wheel.
Mine has hydraulic steering as well. Did the boat u looked at have auto pilot? I think the hydraulic steering get is added when the auto pilot option is added. I had to rebuild my stearing pump attached to the back off the wheel within one month of owning the boat. (3 seasons ago) I was forming a puddle of hydro oil under the wheel.
I don't have auto-pilot and I have hydraulic steering.
Did it have a genny? Whoever had that boat ordered was cheap lol
No genny either! There is a big lake here on the west site of the twin cities that a lot of people day boat on. The original owner was one of them. A lot of the boats on that lake don't have a/c, genny, radar because they didn't need it. Now I get to pay for it
