 Re: winch and hydro turf - installed
Looks great, man! Did you end up mounting the winch to that plate you had installed?

 Re: winch and hydro turf - installed
Looks good. Just remember if you used 3M glue to affix it to the gas tank, that glue does not like gasoline so watch the spills.

 Re: winch and hydro turf - installed
Hey justin, you might wanna put some hose, or put a grommet around that hole you shoved your wires through.....
It looks good! Where did you buy the winch from?

 Re: winch and hydro turf - installed
The turf on your fuel tank fails to camo your quick-connect.

 Re: winch and hydro turf - installed
The only problem I have ever had with a quick connect was the check valve coming out of the female connection. I keep 1 spare for each of the fuel system componets in the boat with me.

 Re: winch and hydro turf - installed
Looks good! Is that the $50 camo sheet that hydroturf has on sale? I am fixing to do mine as soon as I get a little welding done to mine.

 Re: winch and hydro turf - installed
I am also wondering if that is the same discounted hydroturf. If so, does it seem like it will hold up?

 Re: winch and hydro turf - installed
The HT on their website is NOT the same stuff gatortrax sells. It is softer, has heavier brushing and will not hold up to the extreme conditions we put it thru. If I'm not mistaken, it was a batch that was rejected by Gator Trax for the reasons mentioned.
