Yes front and rear.

Testing.. I really need to adjust my photos.. lol Another one. Interior Lights Last one for now..

Welcome to the forum. You are going to love this little boat. I run a 50lb Minn Kota and didn't change any of the wiring. I did add a 50 amp resetable fuse in my battery box though. I think that the longer the wire run the thicker the wire you need. You maybe ok with the stock set up. Plus running wires in these boats are a PIA. I had to run some for my LED lights. Took me forever and a lot of cussing. I need to post pics soon.

What are you hauling it with that your worried about MPG? Shouldn't make a difference. might drop 1 or 2 MPG if your pulling on a heavy trailer.

As I got older and did a suspension mod to my truck to to my camper, it did get harder to load the BR in the back of my truck. I broke down and bought a 4x10 trailer earlier this year. I could't be happier I did. I also recently purchased a Lithium battery Which weighs half as much as the Lead Acid 29 series battery I had.

Would love to see this thread kick back up. A lot of the old pictures are no longer available.

Looking at you aux power box, I was actually planning on doing the same thing. Anyway you could send me some detailed pictures of how you set it up? I was looking at an ammo box from Harbor Freight and there is a nice 6 gang LED waterproof panel with volt meter, twin usb port on Wish app for $30.

Ok I been using my boat dang near non-stop... Only issue I have is the aluminum seat brackets. I am just over 300lbs and they are starting to sag some. Anyone have any ideas? I may try to make some brackets out of lead pipe. I do not want to mount anything to a deck floor. I haul my boat in the back of my truck and I am alone most of the time so do not want to make it even more heavy. Best thing to do would be to get a 50amp resettable breaker. might as well since it looks like you need to redo the wiring anyway. about $10 at Walmart and easy to install.

I just used a small bungee cord from my seat bracket to the lip on the side of the boat.. Has worked very well and is quick and easy to swap out poles fast.

If you don't mind a parachute with limited room. a bimini top may be nice if your tight lining but having a top will limit you casting ability a lot.

Its just an old tm with plexiglass wire tied to it. taped up the power cord to the tm head..

Got to do a little fishing before it got cold while off of work before the new year.. I did get a new seat for Christmas.

Been reading this thread a few times over the past couple of months. Loving the mods and tips. Bought a used BR10E back in July. Barely used, MK Endura 55, both seats, a little paddle and life vests. Not bad at $600. Used most every weekend, I average about 7hrs on Saturdays and Sundays. I was going out most days after work, until this early dark thing happened. I am using an old TM on the back as a rudder. Plus f my main TM goes down I have a backup. Will post a few pics soon..
