I also installed the IC-3.5PM which is an accessory input for anything that can output sound thru a RCA plug. The speakers are MA-800 box speakers that I plan to mount under the stern seat when it gets fixed. I might add an additional set of speakers or a possibly a subwoofer in the console once I see how it does for sound. I will take photo's next time I am down at the boat, Sunday is the day to document all the progress, but it was raining too much to uncover the boat.

I installed two roughfully ten inches from the top and ten from the bottom. They are not flush with the deck but they are smooth and not bad on bare feet. I know they work great and look fine. And my boat mates love the fact that cover is not flying around the deck anymore. Good luck Blake

I have to install the new GPS. I really want to tackle the new drain tubes as well. I am waiting for my new RPS seat to come from halls, and my new Decals. I'm kinda in limbo right now. I hope to be done by opening of fluke season. If there is a fluke season. Ed 1991 Montauk 17 - 2012 ETEC 90HP

I will need to shim the locker cover side, but 2, maybe 3 washers. Believe me when I say, I so wanted to be out on Saturday, sunny and 70's. If the holes below the waterline had all been patched, I would have been in the water.
