After seeing all the stuff everyones doing I got busy. I'm just finishing the install of the LED lights that I got from bass pro around the console. I don't know how you guys are doing it but its a pain in the but wiring those things in. I'm using duplex 16 gage wire running from my new buss bars ( which I ran 8 gage duplex wire from the battery to the console, 30 amp fuse at the battery) useing the assesory switch on the console for on and off, then down and around the bottom of the console connecting each light with butt connectors and then covering with heat shrink tube then down the cable tube to the back of the boat to install one on the bottom of the rear deck. The tapping into the duplex wire and attaching the wire to the console, so its not just laying in the bottom of the boat, has been a pretty good job. Would like to know how others have done theirs so I can kick myself for not asking before I started. Will post some pics when I'm done. I moved the gas tank under the console seat and will be puting a cooler under the console where the gas tank use to be. Also added a washdown pump that pulls raw water from livewell pump, via extra port, or fresh water from a 15 gallon fresh water tank I installed under the rear deck for rinsing off after a swim in the salt water, and what ever else fresh water would be needed for. I'v been busy, thats why no fish posted lately.....Darell

Good luck with your project.I'm doing the same thing yesterday and today.One thing i like to do is solder all my connections, then electrical tape, then heat shrink.My joins never ever had a problem with corrosion or getting loose, factory yes, not mine.
