Great work (as expected). Bob, where or rather how, do you plan on mounting those? I notice your gunnels looked finished.
Jim, wireless kill-switch...works off a blue-tooth-dongle? Off the VHF or Radio?

I had made these pvc rod holders in a hurry last year, not sure if I like them much. I was thinking of cutting a notch there at the top
and using a small bungee to hold the oars.

Looked up the wireless kill swich. Not sure if its the same one Sandman mentioned.
Small size unit easy to install on the dash connected to the existing kill switch with a sensor worn on your belt.
Was around $180... well worth it I think.

Aside from adding some electronics (Garmin 740s and a Uniden vhf), I changed out an 8" access hole in the splashwell and upgraded it to a 13"x23" aft-hatch opening (better, or rather easier access to the bilge and seacock area <<KUDOS to Goose for suggesting it to me>>.
I also replaced some caulking, fixed the rod-holders moved the fuse-block so as not to interfere with the Garmin or VHF and bought a custom cover which seems to be working out very well.
Where are the USB ports for that radio? inside the console, on the backside?

The new hatch you put in looks great Gilly.
Now you can actually get your hand in there and see what your doing at the same time.
I put the usb port for the radio under the dash next to the 12v plug.
It could be rotated 90 degrees
It also could have gone in the dash beside the radio unit.

Thanks Gup. They really aren't too hard to make.
Made from spruce 2x3 under ten dollars. Had to go through the pile to find some with no knots.
I made templates for the blade and handle, then a die for the handle to check it as I shape.
