GUYS:

THANKS FOR THE OVERWHELMING REPLY!!!!
IN RESPONSE TO THE MANY QUESTIONS, HERE' THE ANSWERS.

- YES, IT IS MY BACK YARD, IT'S A VERY CLEAN LAKE WITH PRISTINE WATER, VERY CLEAN AND IT'A A BIG LAKE, BOUT 1 MILE LONG. I BUILT THAT FLOTING DOCK BECAUSE IT WAS A LOT CHEAPER THAN A POOL.

- THE BOXES ARE FROM WWW.FPMARINE.COM, THEY GO FOR $120.00 EACH, TALK TO KEN AND TELL HIM THAT THEY WERE THE ONES THAT CARLOS FROM MIAMI BOUGTH.

- THE AREA WITH THE HOLE IS ACTUALLY AFT (TO THE FRONT) IN ONE SIDE I PUT THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER INSERT TO COVER IT, IN THE OTHER SIDE I'LL MOUNT
MY EPIRB TO COVER IT. I'LL POST A PIC.

Great Job Carlos, they look awesome! I also appreciate the kind words.

The fire extinguisher insert looks great, just let me know if you need another one for the other side. Some of our customers install a "fence" in the fire ext. inserts to better hold things in place. You can make the fence with a small piece of starboard or netting. Then you could use some bungee material to hold the epirb from rattling.

KEN:

Thanks for the compliments, I did it with your help.
On the opposite side to the extinguisher, I mounted the epirb on a small pice of starboard to cover the opening.
I'll post some pics with the finished product.

Now, explain to me about the "fence" I didn't understand the concept, but to hold the extinguisher in place firmly i though about buying a spray can of foam and, covering the inner part of the extinguisher with nylon, spray the foam inbetween the ext. and the insert, creating a "cushion". When I'm done I migth have to order another insert from you(he,he,...). I'll let you know.
