Were you looking for a fire sale?In this case, it was an actual crack in the tin base behind the tabs. So the tabs were clean,but the crack was inside the harness connector.
By the way, we were up your way the past few days looking at property just south of Ok falls. I'm positive you passed me towing your boat on Sunday coming out of penticton on 97 unless there's another red f150 lightning towing a boat with downriggers around town.

Man. That looks awesome! Nice work!
I had to scroll back to look at some before pics and now the after pics. It's really a heck of a transformation. I've used/worked with at least 3 different Raiders. Boats that are so tough, and utilitarian. I'm a fan. But I never thought in a million years one could look like yours. Really, you did just a fantastic job.

This was alittle project but I have a heads up comment. I have 2 very old scotty 1105 elec dn riggers. One of them the switch failed. Scotty ask if I was original owner and i am so they sent me a new switch for a newer unit but it would work. I got the switch and put the downrigger upside down in the boat floor to work on it. I have 2 screw terminals and added stakons and attached them. Pulled out some line and turned on the power reached under and enguaged the switch and nothing. Took stakons off cleaned the terminal still nothing. LONG story short it will not work with the switch if the downrigger is upside down. Maybe should be posted in mistakes

Does it work right way up? I think the on off switch is a magnetic switch

It does work right way up. I jumpered across the posts when it was upside down and the motor started so I turned it over

Put my boat away for the winter after a beautiful day on Kal lake the water was awesome and warm last swim too
Thursday off to camp for the winter
If the stars align will buy an older Grady and rebuild and refit and look out van island I will do around the whole island and a tuna run or two
If the stars align and I make it a reality
Kids are getting older and I’m starting to plan for me !
It’s with a sad heart but joy in my step
The next chapter is about to open
Now I need a cool fishing, off grid, raise and slay your own food babe !
My dad job is damn near over and in the bank as they say
Fishing here I come !!!
Ps don’t know what I’m gonna do with two boats but I don’t want to sell my 18’ naybe I should start my own charter fishing business hhmmmm
Couple years I could do well even if I don’t make a dime it would be the best time of my life Right!
