Installed pole bracket and rear hood latch. Not enough room to put the pole bolt in when it's bolted down. I'll have to put the pole and bracket together then bolt it to the hull.

Cut my xm adjustable pole down to comp legnth -8 to -11.... Hope it's not too short. Also cut my worx 201 and made a +2" jig for the welder.

It was 2" exact for mine. I bolted the board up to the hull to be sure. I may change my mind later but I'm going to put a pole spring in. I've tried several times but i just feel limited with a stiff pole setup.

Thanks for the heads up on the pole bolt! How hard was it to drill the hole for the cables?

Latch looks baller too! I want one, does WDK still sell them?






no ride plate huh? :censored:


Do you have everything else together or is that all you lack?

I traced out the hole then drilled it out with the largest bit I had.... About 1"... Then used a carbide rasp on an air rotary to grind it out to the trace line I made. Still had to cut frayed ends of kevlar with a razor. That :):):):)s tough!

Not sure on the latch... I've had mine a few years and I believe I got it from a member here.

I have a tracking # for a cart tank so that should be here Monday. If I don't have a ride plate by next week I'll bolt a piece of plywood on there!!!

Oh and I had to make a spacer plate for the stock latch. The dash is thin and the bolts wouldn't tighten enough so the plate had to go on the back side.
