We did a lot today. It began with lifting the console and getting it situated in the boat. We then screwed it down to the decks. We first screwed down the starboard base into the deck with #14 flat head screws. The console was then screwed through the starboard and into the deck. It is solid like a rock.
A good look at the boat with the console in place. We still have a lot of work to do to finish the project. Complete the wiring job, run all lines through rigging conduit tubes back to engine area, install trim tabs, paint the bottom, install the rest of the equipment and non-skid the topside.
