Winter modifications
Posted: 12 Feb 2018, 20:36
Over the long cold winter months I've been doing a bit of modifying to my Honwave T3.8 having concluded that I prefer it over my much loved T3.5ae. I was diagnosed with damaged nerves in my arm neck and shoulder last year. Unfortunately theres nowt that can be done medically. I found the T3.5ae aggravated my symptoms as it is pretty rigid and unforgiving in a chop. The air floor of the T3.8 is more forgiving due to there being a bit of give.
My T3.5ae was well modified to suit my needs. The T3. 8 however needed bringing up to spec
First up was an auxiliary engine mount.
Next up was the addition of a new chart plotter / sounder
A larger set of tyres was added to assist beach launching.
Next up was a 2 piece "Big ass bow dodger " to better deal with snotty conditions - even indoors
Then addressing the lack of tie down points for securing camping gear etc when adventuring
Finally a little 12 volt pump for bailing out was attached to the transom using a small pvc patch .
Pump slides in and out as required. Further tie down added to transom eye bolts.
Just need to wait on the weather improving to hopefully get out in the bloody thing
