Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Hiya,
It's that time of year to get things prepped for the upcoming season...
Mine has started with rearranging where I plug in the charger. Not thinking a couple of years ago when I installed a flush-mount plug for the onboard charger, I put the outlet plug on the starboard side of the rig which had worked just fine, but after a few times wanting to check the charger, I didn't like the fact I could not open the lid with the charger plugged in. So...the plug is now routed out the side next to the fuel lines, cables, etc. for the outboard, which allows me to have the boat covered completely, plug in quickly and be done.
The outlet was then replaced by a blue courtesy light. I purchased a second one so the back deck is lit up nicely and it should work fairly well to have them on while fishing in the dark. Will add one more for the front deck and possibly change out the single courtesy light under the starboard dash that really did nothing anyway. Maybe add a dimmer if possible to dampen the light a little more if it seems to be a touch too bright...gotta go out and see what it's like on the water first...
Not sure what else I plan on doing other than continuing to shine the finish up with buffing and polishing... I've got a couple of scratches that I have a feeling I could clear coat and smooth down, but I'm not that brave yet...
What's on your "to-do" list before season starts?
