We love seeing a trusty steed given a second chance at life, and Ben’s Noble Super Vee is no exception! She came to us as a blank canvas, with the plan to start with the essentials and then have the option for additional gear in the future.

At the console we installed a Lowrance HDS 12” and an 8-Way Switch Panel. For the safety tick of approval we also installed new nav lights, an anchor light and an Ultima manual/auto bilge pump. Up at the bow a Narva spotlight was also added for those cheeky night missions.

But the star of the show is definitely the stereo system!! The big girl is now rocking a Modus Marine Audio system including an MX23 Marine Head Unit, a pair of Mezzo Series 8.8” coaxial speakers and the super impressive Mezzo Series 8 Channel Marine Amplifier, there’s also a pair of 10” subwoofers planed for the future.

This package pumps out some serious beats, even the Boss Man was impressed (and if you know him, you know that is no easy feat!). With such a big system you would think she would be power hungry. But that’s where the Mezzo amp shines, with its internal 24v lithium taking the load and pulling a whopping 6amps from the 12v system. It also has an impressive voltage input range being 9-58V, so you could run it from your trolling motor battery.

The legends at IMS Marine Australia are shaking things up in the Australian marine audio world with some huge boat manufacturers jumping on board. We are super pumped to be stocking and installing their Modus Marine Audio gear here at WMB!🔊🔊🔊

And while an amazing stereo system may not seem like a “essential” to some, we are definitely here for it!!!!

Enjoy those Modus moments on the water, mate!

JJ got in contact with us wanting to enhance his Lowrance setup in his awesome Barcrusher 670. With a Live Pro 16 going in at the bow, we recommended going with an Elite FS 12 as the second unit in place of another Live. Why not a Live Pro, you might ask? Well, forward scan isn't being shared across the network and we're not using any of that CPU power and memory for complicated tasks, it’s just streaming Active Target 2. For backup charts (just in case he loses the console Live Pro) we opted for an Elite FS 7 as it could be integrated into the N2K and ethernet networks 🤓

Now comes the fun part! Up at the bow were two existing BLA 36v lithium batteries, however the Engle fridge was situated next to the console. A lack of room was the main frustration with this setup. But we do like a challenge!! We threw around some ideas, came up with a plan and went off to to share the love (and the challenge) with Mitch! With extra support required on the cast deck for the sheer mass of the sounders, a custom frame was made for the BeatDown Outdoor Products Ultimate Double Stack Sounder Stand. Inside the cast deck the existing battery setup was removed and was then hung from underneath the deck with supports to the ballast; lifting the batteries out of the usable space and into dead space. This freed up under the cast deck for the fridge and camping gear, while also freeing up the deck for fishing space. Primo!!!!!👌

We then set the 36v batteries up as one 200AH bank and stepped the voltage down to 13.9v using a Victron Energy Orion DC-DC Converter. Running off the 12v stepdown are both sounders, two AT2 modules, a 60l Engle and Starlink. All this gear pulls roughly around 15amps from the step down, consuming 5amps at 36v. They don’t call us wizards for nothing!! 🧙‍♂️🪄🤩

She’s one hell of a setup, with a cheeky generator at the ready to charge the 36v system for those extended remote missions!

“Welcome to Wire My Boat. What can we get you today?”

“Can I please get one live sonar setup?”

“You sure can! Would you like to upgrade to a double stack?”

“Why yes, I think I would!”

HUMP DAY FUN FACT!!

We often get people come to the workshop and ask us if we are a new business…

Well, this was us 8 years ago today!!!! An itty bitty shed and grinding away on boats every weekend while we both worked full time jobs. And prior to that we had been operating for a full year out of our home in Palmerston! The original plan was to have a casual side hustle to pay for our own boat mods and fishing…..well that plan went out the window BIG TIME!!!🤯

It’s been a labour of love, hard work, lonnnnng days, many f-bombs and spending more money than we want to admit. But - most importantly - it’s been about backing ourselves and knowing that we could give it a red hot crack as a full time business. Even when we had our doubters!!

Bring on the next 8 years…😎

If this isn’t a sign that we need to add another tech to the team, we aren’t sure what is…🥴😵‍💫🤯

It’s been another week of marine madness here at WMB HQ! And we honestly can’t believe it’s the end of August – where is this year going?!? We had a bit of a mixed bag of goodies this week, which always keeps us on our toes!!

* We installed a new LiveScope setup with all the bells and whistles for the ladies of No Tackle Box. They have been hanging out to level up their fishing game in their trusty Stessco Gulf Runner, and we love being a part of their journey! Now we just need to see those metery pics girls – no pressure!!!

* We did a brand new Minn Kota Terrova Quest install on Russell’s beauty of a Haines Signature. The gang at Micks Ally Fab did a stellar job on getting the bracket just right, which can be tricky on glass boats! We know having this new piece of equipment is going to a game changer for Russell – and he was absolutely chomping at the bit to get out on the water for a test run!

* We also undertook some remediation works on Daniel’s Barcrusher 670WR. There were a few niggling things that weren’t working as they should be - and that’s where an experienced pair of eyes and a bit of fault finding is definitely required! The Barcrusher now has functioning bilge and bait tank pumps, a genuine Minn Kota plug to replace the old Anderson plug, as well as some handy lighting upgrades to make good use of her time in the workshop.

So it’s TGIF from us - we are ready for some chill time over the weekend before another big week!

Darren bought in his awesome black poly boat earlier this year for a full fit-out, but we have been holding out to see the final product after the wrap and Deck Armour flooring was completed by Jo at Custom Graphix NT
And it was absolutely worth the wait!!!!🤩

So what exactly went into getting her ready to wet a line?

* A 36v 100ah BLA Marine Lithium for the trolling motor
* Installation of a Black Minn Kota Instinct Quest trolling motor
* Flush mounting the Garmin GPSMAP 8416xsv in the console, along with a Weatherdeck 6 Position Switch Panel and ScanStrut USB chargers, and accessories sockets up at the bow
* Lights galore, including a custom under gunnel light kit, Narva 10” EX2-R light bars off the bow, Hella Marine Apelo A2
underwater lights off the transom and black Attwood Navigation lights
* A Fusion MS-RA210 Stereo & XS Sports Speaker Kit

As always, keeping everything neat, tidy and easily accessible was key – with all the important wizardry being located in the console, which is all accessible by the watertight access doors. The bonus being there is plenty of space in there for the custom aluminium tackle tray holder!

Now hopefully the luck of the Irish is on her side for landing some epic fish…☘️

We’ve had Stewie bring in his beauty of a Sportsman a couple of times now, and we thought it was about time we gave her a spot on the grid!

Stewie’s vision was to give her a few upgrades to make things as easy as possible for those extended trips away.

To keep it short and sweet we went with:
* Installation of a Victron Energy battery management system, 200ah House Battery Package and can bus integration for the 36v lithium
* Relocation of autopilot controls
* Remediation of console wiring and equipment layout in the console
* Running new power for fridge to be located under the seat
* Installation of step-down power and outlet from the 36v lithium and an extra outlet from the house lithium to run the fridge from either supply
* Installation of Active Target 2 and a HDS Live Pro 16 on the bow
* Installation of an additional HDS Live Pro 10 on the console
* Installation of a Minn Kota plug & receptacle, replacing the factory setup that’s prone to corrosion
* Integration of the Yamaha outboard with the Lowrance MFD’s, enabling Yamaha features

These additions will give Stewie the option to unplug for a few days and enjoy some time away from the hustle and bustle of his busy life, without having to worry about running out of power or anything breaking down!

Enjoy the setup mate, and thanks for entrusting us with the big girl.
