    Stowable generator bracket

    Hmmmm? What's the boat doing on the Potomac? That's where we did our "test drive" on Thelma Lou! We'll be back from the Cumberland on the 6th, so I'll give you a call later on that week. These brackets rely on the rub rail for support Patrick...do you have any rub rail left? :lol:

    Powder Coating on boats

    This area doesn't see much abuse, if any, but the window frames on our 1994 angler are powder coated aluminum.

    Stowable generator bracket

    EU2000 bracket is done! Redsigned clips make mounting easier, distance above the waterline is now 15.5". Wire lock pins (not stainless) for the shelf support were used instead of custom made SS pins.

    Rod Holders

    I mounted 4 Scotty bases on the inside vertical wall of the gunnels (2 0n each side). I also have a Scotty "tree" that will hold 3 rods using one base.

    Boat Handling / twin or single outboard

    Same here...mine are 45's and "one" will not get it on plane, although I did expect it to.

    Here we go again!

    Slight change of plans. We now hope to launch at Granville Marina on Saturday, travel downstream to Nashville, spend Monday there, then head back up and try to explore/fish on Cordell Hull up towards Celina and back to Granville by Sunday.

    Stowable generator bracket

    I may need to pay you a visit Patrick, and get some measurements. BTW...I was prepping the boat today, and found some flares that belong to you.

    Stowable generator bracket

    Currently fabricating a second design sized for the EU2000i. It will hold the generator 5" higher and still fold flat. Redesigned clips for easier mounting in the same spot. Still stainless.

    Boat Handling / twin or single outboard

    Originally, mine were mounted too close to the cabin wall but tight against the seat (if I folded the back of the seat forward it would trigger the starboard trim switch) and too far back (awkward for me with long arms) so I moved the seat to the left to allow room to move the controls away from...

    Stowable generator bracket

    Chris, the current design will double as a step. I tested it with my (155#) weight yesterday :lol: The 1x1 angle may distort over time with this use. Warren, I plan to use a bicycle cable lock thru the aft cleat, the bracket's perforated shelf, and the handle of the generator. All of this...

    Boat Handling / twin or single outboard

    I would think that any advantage with twins, docking, or any tight maneuvering, would be minimal on the 22 vs the same setup on a Tomcat. The engines are too close together to offer much of an advantage on the 22. So far, my only dislikes about our twins is the controls, and lack of room for a...

    Stowable generator bracket

    I'd be happy to fab up a few for the members here, but I have no desire turn this into a business venture :lol: The shelf measures 19.375 x 10.75 (inside the angle frame and support arms) and the EU2000 measures 20.1 x 11.4...it would likely fit since the footprint is slightly smaller. Mine...

    Stowable generator bracket

    Thanks Nick! We enjoyed visiting with you and Marcia as well! The rack/enclosure is working well, but as usual, I am finding that I would make a few small design changes if I ever do it again

    Stowable generator bracket

    Correct...but like you say, it may be too low. We'll be trying it out on the Cumberland river next week. It currently sits 11" above the waterline, and I probably should fashion some type of box to raise the unit up a bit just in case. I can easily raise the shelf 6 more inches if need be.

    Jim...pics of the bracket are now in the "Cockpit and Accessories" sub forum.

    Stowable generator bracket

    Fabricated this from stainless angle, flat bar, and perforated stainless sheet. Clips onto the gunnel underneath the lazaret lid (either side) and the lid still latches. Folds flat to 18" x 20" x 1.5" Generator shown is a Honda EX700 which is the same physical sie as the EU1000i.

    I love the red! The "BMW" sticker is from the KLR Forum, and usually irritates the BMW guys...LOL! Don't forget to "do the do"....Kawasaki slightly redesigned it in 2008 but still didn't get it right.

    Happy Father's Day

    My kids granted my long time wish yesterday...they joined me on an 8 mile kayaking trip! I'd been trying to organize that for 2 years! We had a blast! Will be having lunch with my dad today. Happy Father's Day to all the dads!

    Here we go again!

    Hey Jim! The bracket that I made is a bit heavy, I may re-make it out of aluminum later. I'll get some pics tomorrow. The bracket has clips that hook over the lip under the lazaret door, but still allows the door to be closed and latched. The frame rests against the rub rail and needs no other...
