Bateau2 - Builder Forums

Ok, thanks guys.

Curious what the thoughts are on mounting the instrument gauges to the console. Specifically tach, pressure, speed, etc. Do you use a sealant when mounting? Something like 4200? Or just tighten. The mounting instructions don't seem to specify and looking around online it seems a lot of people just s...

Well ya beat me!!!! Congrats on the launch!! Boat looks awesome! I was making some headway and then baseball season got underway. Both boys really into it. Hoping to get back at it again soon now that it's wrapping up a bit. My goal is not to be one of the 7 out of 10 mentioned above! Congrats again!!

No worries. I'm learning too. Thanks for the link willg. Looks like a lot of useful information. So I measured for my steering cable last night. Used a garden hose and followed the directions on the sea star (teleflex) site. My measurement from center of wheel to midpoint of transom was 13' almost e...

Ordered everything I needed to build my fuel line (connectors, clamps, H20 separator, etc) and will be ordering my electrical supplies this week. Also need to order my steering cables, w...

Thanks again guys. I'm going to be putting an order together here soon. CL...thanks for the link I'll definitely be using it. Wegcagle thanks again for helping out. I'm pretty much copying your set up as it's exactly what I had in mind. Still have awhile until I'll actually be doing the wiring but I...

GOT IT! It's clear to me now. Thanks for taking the time to help. I know it's simple basic stuff compared to some of the systems you guys have done, but hey you got to start somewhere. Heck, half the fun of this project is learning new things. I'm going to start pulling the pieces together. I'm sure...
