Bit of maintenance done... jokey wheel, trailer, outrigger adjustments and a good wash...

Hoping to fit a t top during the week... just in time for next weekend's outing...

Installed the new unit... working to get that t top sorted...

Installed my semi-DIY T-top today. Going fishing tomorrow to try it out.... hope it doesn't break and rip someone's head ...

Sorry chaps... didn't have a chance to take pics.... will do asap.

John F · « **Reply #507 on:** June 29, 2016, 04:43:09 PM »

Here are some pics...

I managed to use the old folding canopy and attach it to the 38 mm 444 S/S "arch". A 7-rod rack (huge thanks to peterblace!!!!) has also been attached to the arch.

It works very well. Very rough finishes, but functional and strong!

Will try and take pics with the boat outside.

Looking good Marcos, you won't know yourself with the extra rod holders on the top.

John F · « **Reply #512 on:** June 30, 2016, 10:20:06 AM »

Damn right Mike. Used it last weekend and it makes a HUGE difference! I can also have my center rigger mounted up high out of the way... putting my drift baits with balloons out there is also very handy....

This also means I can take more rods

Hammer · « **Reply #513 on:** June 30, 2016, 10:44:23 AM »

That's the problem, I usually take around 14 rods along. 3 sets set up for light, medium and heavy fishing

Do I sense a bout of TA coming along

John F · « **Reply #515 on:** June 30, 2016, 12:08:27 PM »

NO!!!!! Can't buy any more rods... got plenty already...

... well, you never know

John F · « **Reply #516 on:** July 23, 2016, 01:50:30 PM »

Installed the new tuna tube pump and put new guiding poles on the trailer. Used a different support system... hope it lasts a bit more than the previous.

Cleanned up of the shed and threw away lots of junk! Amazing how stuff piles up over the years!!!

Looked at my boat today..

thats all ..

Ziggy · « **Reply #518 on:** July 23, 2016, 11:30:13 PM »

Washed my boat down with pressure hose yesterday and did not put boat cover on so that it could dry out overnight. A family of hadedas decided to crap all over the boat and made a huge crappy mess. So again had to wash it down today... Then the rain came.... Will see in the morning what it looks like. I hate those hadedas
