(This is a add on to the Mary Xmas to me thread)..
Well after talking about podding the 23 Hourston for about 5 years I am Actually doing it. Boat still needs the pod and I’m currently removing the old drive train etc. but the motor is now bought. I got a bunch of questions I will put in point form . Sherwood will be doing the rigging Jenkins the pod.
1...other than stripping the old out where else could I save money buy doing the work myself. Here’s the run down
2....Sherwood about 1200 for install. But I wonder. Ya just know it’s going to be oh well you need this this and this. Yes I will ask them but thought I would ask here too
ie fuel filter water separator this cable that cable sensors ect ect
3... will have rear transom helm for kicker
4... Will have kicker so skip troll mode option?
4.5 .. will turning of rear helm turn the kicker and the 300 at same time
5...has Aluminum fuel tank but with four-year-old fuel in it. Also to add to the conundrum is that the tank is glass in but with Access to the sending unit and tank hose connection. Is there a special way to clean it. Guess I better Pressure test it
6 ... Gauges Is there a preferred gauge ..also I am seeing that some chart plotter’s are compatible with the display what are people using.
7...what am I forgetting
8... I hate surprises
