My surge brake receiver received a nasty blow from someone (not me) from the side at a 90 degree angle and bent it. I had to replace it recently.
FA poured me some lead in a bread loaf pan for my new Bauer traps. I cut them in half with a band saw and drilled a couple of holes on them for zap strapping to the bottom of the center bait tunnel.
Zap strapped in place.

My exterior lighting has received a major overhaul.
Here is a new waterproof switch panel installed by the HC guy's. The rain drip cap installed by my guys.
New back deck lights replaced on warranty. They are not mounted properly right now and the picture shows it. (Working on the mounts).
New side docking lights installed. Nice to see the dock when landing by yourself at night and steering from the rear controls. They are pointed down quite a ways as to not blind anyone helping me dock that could be standing on the dock.
New stern underwater lights installed. I really want to post up some shots once in the water but these will have to do for now.

Now for the new spot light. I had a Rigid Industries 4 led light up there last year and it worked for docking etc., but it was fixed in position. I always wanted a real search light up front and decided to go with an ACR http://www.acrartex.com/products/catalog/searchlights/rcl-75-searchlight/#sthash.BgkCClva.dpbs.
Mounted the controller in a place that wouldn't impede the handling while sitting at the helm or standing.
Here is a short video of the light in action (click on the picture).
All lit up like a Christmas tree lol!!!
Cheers,
John

Thanks buddy. Sorry to hear about your recent troubles.
Always room for improvement man. I've thinking about saddle tanks for extra fuel now. We will see. As long as she doesn't give me any negative feed back then I'm rolling with it. I think she is loving it right now!!!

It's a small air compressor mounted behind the front bulkhead. I'm not running an air tank but most folks do.
Here is a kit that seems to be popular for the air ride seats.
