1984 Boston Whaler Outrage 22 - 2021 Modifications

1984 Boston Whaler Outrage 22 Project

Made this video with a 103 degree fever, so my narration at times seems a bit confused.

Electronics / Electrical

100% all new wiring (with the exception of the Yamaha rigging)
New fuse panel, busses and circuit breaker
New switches
New under gunwale lighting
New fore and aft spreader lights
New electric horn mounted on T-Top
New Garmin chartplotter / fish finder
New dual USB outlet in console
Moved batteries to console (remained within Yamaha’s spec for cable length extension)
Battery switches in console are accessible via the slidings doors under the helm

Center Console

All new console interior (custom shelf, drawer on slides, battery box) fabricated with marrante marine grade plywood and starboard.
Slide out drawer is now on a stainless steel drawer slide. It is held closed by dual 10 lb latches.
Custom starboard switch and gauge panel
Fabricated new teak frames and sealed with Semco. I fastened the frames from the inside of the console so as not to have exposed fasteners.
Original and varnished teak doors were stripped and sealed with Semco
New aluminum door slides with felt runner liners
Removable rubber matting was added to the floor of console
New door latches make the doors easier to open and close, and hold tighter than the previous ones.
Moved VHF and ignition, and added starboard trim plate to console face. Ignition is now better situated for attaching lanyard to captain (new law requires this).
Removed audio system (head unit and speakers) in favor of a portable bluetooth device
Turned bottom tilt-out bin unit into a tilt-out door. Inside the console I added a separator for this space. This will be used for house tools, spare parts and fuel additives.
Rigging tunnel pass through fabricated with rubber sheeting
