Not bad for someone as old as you.....:hi:
Willy's been telling us you're loosing your mind and senility is setting in. I said, I'll bet that old coot still has one or two good ideas left before we send you off to the home. :you:
Nice work my friend.

Mounted the water separator and battery switch to the stern lift eyes bolts beneath the rod holders. But got concerned about water dripping on them so I attached a sleeve of discharge hose to the rod holder to make the water go past them

Looks like a standard pool drain hose available at any pool supply store. Great idea. Mind if I steal it for my boat?:sun:

Genius. I've been pondering the same thing for all this time. It seems I now should take the leap. Why they did not address this issue from the factory is beyond me. So let me ask - where will the discharge be located? I thought about putting a thru hull on the lowever part of the rod box just under the forward holders for simplicity sake. However it would make it harder to remove the rod box - which I do from time to time to gain access to wiring and cables.

So what are you thinking?

BR, I gonna run mine back to the bilge...it really shouldn't be LOTS of water and whatever gets back there won't hurt anything...those bearing cups are $2.29/pr at Wally Market and the plastic thru-hulls came from Bass Pro for about the same for each...that flexible white bilge hose is cheap as crap and I bet you got some hose clamps already...:beer:

10-4, bilge it is then....much better than foam :oh:
