Subject: Tuffy TLC





Location: Des Moines IA		I bought an 02 Tuffy 1700 Osprey in need of some TLC. After having the Suzi serviced, I was left with a trailer rewire, new Trolling Motor and 2 new fish finder installs, Transom Saver, Boat Buckle upgrades, and fender Replacement. Started on the trailer rewire today, and boy am I glad we decided to do it right from the beginning because I never want to do that again! Got all the wires run, and a couple of lights installed today. Ran rubber coated 18-3, and 18-2 Home Runs up to a 12 gauge lead to the 7 plug. It's going to be over kill, but I don't want to do it again, so we're going all out this time!

Transom saver is a 2 minute project, the trolling motor isn't nearly as difficult to do as you think, and the fish finders....have fun! Sorry I live just so far away and can't come over and hold tools while you work.

Location: Des Moines IA		How do I get to the inside of the bow? I need to retrieve a wrench I dropped back in there? I also can't reach far enough to get a wrench on the fron 2 bolts to take the gator mount off?

Location: Des Moines IA		Well I dermeled out the opening for the trolling motor plug, to get my arm in there, and got it stuck! Took about 5 minutes to get it back out. A little more dremeling, and I got my arm in enough to get the wrench back atleat. Got some great advice from Sworrall, so I shouldn't need to put my arm back in there Thank God!
