Do it!

Hey I'm pretty mechanical but not always a jack of all trades. Like the others said, do your research, always lay out your work and like the old saying"measure twice- cut once!" I have been really surprised at some of the things I've fixed or repaired. Just take your time and I'm sure you'll do great! Also ask these guys on BWE. Lots of really good guys that are happy to help out! Good luck! Jim

JORLUIVIL - Thank you very much for this information, greatly appreciated..


And JPP. got cha, so I know these Mods' require the electric drill to create the holes for the wire and what not to channel to the battery, What are those drill bit things that go onto the drill and create circles called, or should I say what are these drill bit attachments called?

Hole saw? Although for most smaller things I'd probably use a regular drill bit.

I also strongly second jpp9565's comment to measure twice and cut once. You can also practice on scrap plastic before drilling into your kayak. Your workmanship will increase with practice.

Good luck and post some pics!
