Bench seat. All in all the most useful mod for my boat so far.

Bench seat and speakers. Bench is the best!!

I had similar issues with my boat, I doubt it had a coat of wax after it left the factory. Recently I used a boat 3M product which has a little cutting agent (name escapes me) in it and the boat looks like new with "the usual effort". P

Secondary water pump switch mainly for fresh water wash down. I got tired of trecking water into the cabin every time I watered to shower off after swimming. Main switch is still on panel and left "on".

Picture is really of the furled flag and mast, clipped to bulkhead with Beckson clips. Wonderful things those clips.

View of table in stored position from underneath: I pitched the 1" square rusty table leg last season with a 1" tubular aluminium one and now leave it attached. It is held up with a Beckson clip. Bliss. When I list the table into position, I flip the leg down.

Here is the end of the curtain rail, a screw eye into the wood followed by a screw and finishing washer screwed into the end of the curtain rods works like dream. How did a screw it it? Held the screw with plyers and rotated the curtain rail. Took me a while to figure that one out!

Windscreen covers up to keep the cabin cool at the berth. She faces east so the sun beasts on the windscreen half the day. Finally put that shelf back up ONLY to relocate the chart plotter......haven't hit it too bad yet....

Forward seat storage with slidable tray slid bag. Very handy!!

Forward seat storage with slidable tray.

View 3, there is SO much storage space on these boats I am still amazed. I didn't have anything to put in here.... :)

Curtains on the cheap

Hurricanes are just another excuse to drink rum!!! After having 30' plus boats in the past I am actually looking forward to painting a "small" boat. :) Solar Panel Update: Sunforce emailed me back and said that there is no electrical reason NOT to hard wire the panel. The warning is more to...

OK so I need the controller to be on the safe side form the sound of it. I also need help painting the boat bottom if any one want to "drop by" :D

Hey folks, quick question regarding solar panels etc. I bought a 5W SunForce trickle charger solar panel and the instructions (yes, I read them!) say to disconnect from the battery before starting engine. I did not buy the 7W charging monitor etc. I am assuming that this is to prevent damage...

Hi all, as a background I replaced the plexi in my Bomar hatch when I bought the boat as it was cracked. I also installed a solar vent (not the issue here). I have had to re-bed the plexi 3(?) times now as the sealant hasn't seemed to take. I have tried a variety of sealants and/or glues (this...

Having put a solar in vent in the top of C Dory I know exactly how thick the roof was-NOT VERY! 1/4" if that.......... I will admit to hanging out top side with a glass of wine on a full moon or a sunny day though....carefully. There was some roof flex...... P
