swimgrid for 93 v-21????

[Blue_Runner]

For the kicker on my '94 V21 I put the 6 gallon tank in the splashwell without interfering with the tilting of the motor. I have the swim step on one side and the kicker/bracket on the other.

i've thought about simply t-ing off my fuel line and running a line to my kicker motor and eliminating the need for the extra fuel tank.would anyone know of any problems that could bring up?

It's really not a good idea to run your kicker off the same fuel supply as your main. If your main fuel tank gets contaminated with anything you can always use your kicker to get home. But if they run off the same tank then you're screwed.

That's how mine appeared to have been set up. But there was no kicker motor when I got it... just a bracket. So I removed the bracket and the three-way valve. Who needs a kicker when you can have Sea-Tow!

Hello All,
I know this may be a little off topic but Blue Runner, I see what looks to be a seat in the back of the top pic of you boat. Did you buy that or make it? I am getting my first V20 (super excited) next weekend and am looking for some ideas for additional seating.
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure Blue's seat was factory.....bench seats have probably been done more here than any other modification....do a search for bench seats and you'll find these plus some...of course the best is mine which is the first link

Welcome to the site by the way....been a huge push of Jersey guys lately....we expect to see all of you, no matter how new you are in Barnegat Bay this summer for the annual get together....

That is a beatiful seat. Thanks for the help!

Thanks! The bench seat is a factory V20 bench seat, but not from my boat. I bought it from a member of the site who hasn't been online for quite some time. Great guy....pretty much let me name the price and also gave me a custom seat cover for it. I have no fasteners for it which is why you see the bungee cord.....many a floor has been rotted due to bench seat fasteners - therefore I abstain!!

Matter of fact, right now it is out of service b/c the wood backing is rotten and the bolts pulled through on the backrest. Planning on getting some 1/4 inch starboard to refurb it with a wood-free backing. Just not a priority right now but it will be done sooner or later and of course I will be posting about it.
