2004 190 Nantucket Modifications

Postby InVision » Fri Sep 22, 2017 8:09 am

Our 2004 Nantucket 190 has now had three changes from stock:

--dual batteries [with 120-VAC battery charger]
--leaning post backrest with two rod holders
--Edson solid PowerKnob on steering wheel --my favorite modification

Holes had to be drilled only for the dual batteries; the other modifications were bolt-on.

Thanks to members for helping with replies to my posts. So far we are really happy with the little Boston Whaler; Now on to restoring trailer.--M

Really Weird. My posts keep changing, even the title. Is that the site admin? If so I am sorry my posts are not to your liking...

Thanks,

you should get 13 inch three spoke SS wheel with a knob. It will give you much more room between helm and leaning post. its a first thing I do on any whaler I own. Why factory doesnt send them with smaller steering wheel is something I would never understand . Even 34 foot Yellowfin comes with 13 inch.

I had a smaller SS 3-spoke ones on my last few boats. I even had the Edson ($$$) with cushion back grip and PowerKnob which I liked very much on my last 25ft CC.
