2025 Devlin Snow Goose Thread

Quick update - completed my wiring layout and got that all removed and stored. Shelf bases and battery stands/boxes cut and dry fit.

Congratulations on the fine progress!

A couple of thoughts on shelves. I generally add a lip (more properly a "fiddle") and some scuppers - to keep valuables in and nuisance water out.

I usually add some shell holders in the fiddle on my shorter shelves.

Because such shelves are largely out of the weather, I often use a bit of varnish to yachten (?) up the vessel.

The shell sockets require careful boring on the drill press - so the brass (!) remains above the fiddle and each socket can drain.sm Shell Rack - post.jpg

All the best!

Thanks Steve, I do plan on lips (but I'll start calling them fiddles now!) and really like your shell holders, so will incorporate some. Suppers are a good idea, too - thanks!
