My Crusader Remodel

No Butt No Putt · Nov 24, 2014

So last year I had numerous electrical problems. So this year I said f*** it. I ripped ever wire and hose out of the boat. Last week was the start.
Today I filled old holes, sanded, sanded, and sanded some more, then painted the bilge with Bilgekote. 2 coats so far. Got the carpet in today, also wired up the system. No more head unit. Just a headphone jack to the amp. Here's the pics so far.

Nice. That carpet makes a huge difference. Are you changing the interior lay out?

No. It has 2 buckets and a bench now and they are in great shape.

Mainly just bilgekote, carpet, re-wire, re-plumb, and rail kit. I'm using all ss braided lines.

Rails are in, side panels installed with new billet washers. Battery tray is almost done.

Looks great!

Looking good. Are you going to try to keep it modular so you can take it all out if needed? Or is it just more of an easy install thing mounting the MSD and fuse block stuff all on the same panel?

It will be easy to remove if needed. But the main reason I did it this way was if there's a short or something is not working. You only have 2 places to look. The main panel or the fuse block that's going under the dash. I'm not using a bus terminal on the back of the engine anymore. Or the giant starter relay on the back of the engine. Everything is waterproof and in 2 locations.
