Angry F'n Squirrels !

They built a nest in my 23' SeaCraft. I got rid of it before they had babies but not before they chewed my speaker wires up

Here's their track:
They jumped from the fish cleaning board on the dock to the boat's starboard gunwale on the lift. From there they climbed down to the forward casting deck, ran across and then up and along the gaff handle mounted to the port side inner liner. They then entered the gap from the underside of the top cap into the chase under the gunwale that the fuel line & fuel vent hoses run into. (also my stereo speaker wires from under the console). From the bottom of the chase they ran aft along the inside of the outer chine and into the bilge area along the scupper drains. They proceeded to build the nest tucked between the Baitwell pump & the Seacock next to the transom. They used cabbage palm fron hair from the local tree. ​

Now, I had to flush out the chase and the bilge areas as they dropped a shit load of the palm hair along the way. Being at an angle on the lift skids, all that crap flowed aft with the water flush. The bilge pumps had that crap in the float switches as well as it got thru the debris screens & into the impellers. What a mess.

Now I have to fix and re-wire the speaker cables so I can listen to Pink Floyd "Comfortably Numb"
