finished off the deck & started attaching the knee/light rail. Earlier this week I changed out trolling motor shaft from 40" to longer shaft I ordered from Bowfishing Extreme. I cut the shaft from its original size 68" to 60". The deck is contrusted of marine ply, 3/4" the rubber matting is matting for under a tread mill. I applied 2 coats of contact cement let dry and layed it on. Trimmed off the excess and use 2" alumi to trim out the matting, counter sunk the holes for the bugglehead screws. The knee /light rail is attached by 3" plow bolts, their flat to the plywood surface, kinda like a carage boly but flat faced.
to attach the deck to the alumin framing, will be done by 10 machine screws with fender washers for each half of the deck. heres what I've got done so far. The deck is 55" up fron 69" on the back & 56" deep. The rerason why I built the deck in havles is that if I need to do more wiring or add more lights, & can remove the complete knee/light rail in havles , just by unpluging it from underneth remove 10 machine screws and slid it off.
