Great job! Working on one myself, & a waterproof box. Not quite sure what size cable clams to order:?:
You did a great job, can't wait to see some of those GOLD finds!
 
How'd you work that deal?! I don't know of any place that would touch that rod for under $30, and would probably be more like $40+.[/QUOTE

The first place I spoke with wanted 25. The guy that did it said to leave it and the next time he sprayed black he would do it for 11 bucks plus tax. Took a few days to get it back but it was worth the wait.
 
Looks great! Have you tested it? I assume the box is hip mounted?

What handle and grip is that?

Tested it last weekend. I replaced the bolts that came with the shaft lock with marine grade stainless. It worked great and I do hip mount it. The handle came from a spare shaft that I bought from someone a while back. Not sure what it is, but its solid and works great.
