What did you use to drill the hole in the console for the fish finder cables? Should I use a paddle bit or just a large drill bit?

So, for question 1, I'm not sure about a clamp on trolling motor. I haven't seen one personally that will work for that large of a boat. However, they do make a trolling motor quick disconnect plate so that you can remove it when you aren't fishing. You would have to drill holes in your deck for...

I can do it and I have a whole shop full of tools. Just seems cheap to me how they toss it in a bag and say here you go. Would expect a little better quality from a brand that praises quality. Dealership was kind of flaky too. Doubt I would buy another boat there again.

I would have at least expected a bag of screws or something... I thought it was kind of crappy deal as well. Here's some rod holders... find your own screws and figure it out on your own. If you look on the Benningtonmarine.com site and use the 3D boat designer it shows the rod holders on the...

For some reason my phone tried to post a duplicate message. Oops.

I'm planning to install a fish finder as well. I used a multimeter and found an extra unused plug hanging that would become hot when I turned on the accessory switch for my radio. Probably what the dealer would use.

My 2020 20SFV came with rod holders. Unfortunately the dealership didn't install them nor did they come with any mounting hardware. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue? Was the dealership supposed to install? If not is it supposed to come with mounting hardware? Any help is appreciated.

I used the same connectors shown above. No need to cut or splice any of the factory wires. I did the whole project for about $50.

I don't think that is the case in Texas... I could be wrong though. I looked on the Texas Parks and Wildlife (our boating authority) website and couldn't find anything about it.

I got a little excited and hooked up my lights without doing a write up. I ordered the Amphenol AT connectors from alliedelec.com (AT04-2P-KIT01) which plug right in to the pre-run wires on my 2020 20SFV. I ordered 2x 7" LED light bars and mounted them on the outer side of the pontoons. There...

I just ordered 2x of the amphenol connectors from allied electric and 2x 7" lights bars to mount as docking lights. I'll do a write up when the parts come in. My 2020 20 SFV didn't come with docking lights so I figured this would work well. I also ordered 2x 5m green LED lights strips for the...
