The quickest (and easiest) method would be to run the wire under a floor mat. See our accessories page. You do have access to the inside of the boat through the storage bags … with some time, patience, and careful thinking, you could add a trolling motor plug. Just like in construction … think twice, cut once applies

Do I have to be home when the boat delivers to my house? Yes. The boats ship via Commercial Freight (Common Carrier). Someone will have to inspect the unit for any type of shipping damage and then sign accepting it. Commercial Freight is a delivery service, not a moving company. The Receiving Party is responsible for getting it off the truck. The simplest way is to slid it off the back. The Drivers are usually good about lending a hand. If you are physically unable you should request a lift gate service, which will lower the unit to the ground. The Freight Companies do charge a fee for this service. Discuss this with your Sales Person while placing the order. ONCE YOU SIGN THE PAPER WORK ACCEPTING THE BOAT, IT BECOMES YOUR PROPERTY.

What if my boat gets damaged during shipping? The Freight Carriers do a good job moving product all over the USA for us. Occasionally things happen out of our control. If the unit arrives and shipping damage is suspected. Remove the item from the box and inspect closely. The shipping boxes take abuse and can sometimes look pretty rough when they arrive … but the boat is fine inside. If the boat is truly damaged, tell the Driver you are refusing it because of damage. The Freight Company will return to us and upon receipt and inspection, we will ship a replacement unit. ONCE YOU SIGN THE PAPER WORK ACCEPTING THE BOAT, IT BECOMES YOUR PROPERTY.
