Just took care of a few things I wanted to get done..... still deciding on backing plate for rod holders... but in the meantime I changed the way the wash down was fed and I moved the wash down hose completely.
The wash down was fed from the front side of the bait well pump and would grab air and not have steady pressure. So what I did was add a "T" and fed the pump and fed directly to the wash down pump. Will have to wait and see if that helps any. The other thing I did was move where the wash down connection was. Initially it was in the center of the transom in the engine well with no place to really stow the hose and was a pain in the ass to use. so I moved it to under the gunnel into one of the rod holders which never gets used.
Next backing support/plate.
