Ok...had my buddy Corey out tonight to do some pole installation.

We mounted the base of the pole in first and marked where it was at the straight up position...then put the pole base in the down position and marked that. Then between those two lines we marked the 2 center holes for where the breather tubes are going to be installed.

EME's have the side plates so Corey's idea (and its worked before) was for the pole bolts to back up to the plate vs making a sandwich between the aluminum and carbon fiber. This will eliminate the frequency of having to re-tighten pole bolts.

drill holes!

cleaning up the edges and making the tube holes a little big bigger.

PVC...lightweight and perfect for this...also with some PVC glue and the next size diameter this will seal this tight to the hull.

The Blowsion pole tubes are slightly larger than these outlets...so I'm going to put them in the lathe and turn down the inside a bit so they will fit through.

When I get this all done I'll get a pic with the whole pole installed.

^Sammy and Corey were on to something with this PVC install. So much cleaner than just a tube through the hull. Glad I did mine that way too!

I got some big breathing tubes!

It was a long day. Had 2 breaks 1 for pizza/hardware store run and to mow the lawn.

I had to shave my pump shoe down to fit the 145 mag pump.

Ok this is my first turf job...granted I had help from my buddy Corey. He is quite the perfectionist which is good for me. Got all the padding done today and hopefully tomorrow we will get the turf down.

Template Corey had for his ski...it worked great for mine!

I made this template...decided I'm going to turf this section so the paint doesn't get scratched by the hood taking it on and off.
 
Just a little something I did on my q8 was sanded off the diamonds on a regular piece of
Turf so it was nice and smooth but thinner and glued it to the outsides of the pole brackets so it didn't scratch the hood and kept it nice and snug
