    '96 lund tyee 1850 floor rebuild and foam replacement.

    got the doghouse recovered and a bunch of other little things done. i don’t ever want to install rub rail again. although by the end it was going pretty well. heat definitely is a requirement.

    to clarify, my controller has what i believe is a lanyard switch( just two brass terminals currently), as well as a separate on/off switch. the on/off switch was working before rebuild, lanyard was never actually there, but boat ran fine without it. if anyone has suggestion on how to test those...
