1984 Boston Whaler Outrage 22 Project Details

Electronics / Electrical

  • 100% all new wiring (with the exception of the Yamaha rigging)
  • New fuse panel, busses and circuit breaker
  • New switches
  • New under gunwale lighting
  • New fore and aft spreader lights
  • New electric horn mounted on T-Top
  • New Garmin chartplotter / fish finder
  • New dual USB outlet in console
  • Moved batteries to console (remained within Yamaha’s spec for cable length extension)
  • Battery switches in console are accessible via the slidings doors under the helm
Center Console

  • All new console interior (custom shelf, drawer on slides, battery box) fabricated with marrante marine grade plywood and starboard.
  • Slide out drawer is now on a stainless steel drawer slide. It is held closed by dual 10 lb latches.
  • Custom starboard switch and gauge panel
  • Fabricated new teak frames and sealed with Semco. I fastened the frames from the inside of the console so as not to have exposed fasteners.
  • Original and varnished teak doors were stripped and sealed with Semco
  • New aluminum door slides with felt runner liners
  • Removable rubber matting was added to the floor of console
  • New door latches make the doors easier to open and close, and hold tighter than the previous ones.
  • Moved VHF and ignition, and added starboard trim plate to console face. Ignition is now better situated for attaching lanyard to captain (new law requires this).
  • Removed audio system (head unit and speakers) in favor of a portable bluetooth device
  • Turned bottom tilt-out bin unit into a tilt-out door. Inside the console I added a separator for this space. This will be used for house tools, spare parts and fuel additives.
  • Rigging tunnel pass through fabricated with rubber sheeting
Mechanical

  • New lower unit bearings and seals
  • New water pumps
  • Engine oil and lower unit oil change
  • Intakes cleaned
  • Injectors cleaned
  • New spark plugs
  • New oil filters
  • New fuel water separators
Miscellaneous

  • New T-Top canvas
  • New fuel lines
  • Swim platform
  • Gunwales had hardware and rub rail removed. Teak was cleaned and sealed with Semco
  • New bilge pump in the bow compartment (drains into rope locker)
  • Fuel filter and rigging tunnel fabricated with starboard
  • Ring buoy and ring buoy mount
