Spear Hole in my wheelhouse

[B-man715]

Well I finally finished my spear hole in my shack!

The location was the only feasible spot without doing some major modifications to the frame or the hydraulics.

It is 35" X 23" inside the frame, with about an inch of overlap on the frame.

The only thing major left to do is reroute the tail light wiring, which is currently in a conduit right through the middle of the hole.

I trimmed it out with transition trim that is used to tie in two different types of flooring in a house. Then I installed a cabinet handle to pick the cover off.

It is close to my chair, but it is pretty comfy to just straddle the hole.

Looks great!

Where did you get that aluminum trim? I need to come up with something like that for my new house.

Hey MJ,

I got at Menard's in their flooring dept. All of the hardware was under $25.

Looking forward to meeting up with you guys this winter!

Thanks for the info.

I'll have my perm house set up somewhere around the North Branch area. It's open for anyone to use when i'm not there. Look forward to meeting you.

I can't wait to get on the ice.
