    Those replacement bulkheads look great and appear to match well to the other woodwork I can see in the photos. I'll try to figure out how to...

    You can use both panels at the same time. Because they are completely seperate sytems. The only reason you have a master over ride switch on you...

    I am replacing the original panel all together. The original panel is not waterproof and is down by the floor. I'm also adding circuits. The...

    Yes, you can have the DC panel & the AC panel active at the same time. They are electricity seperate systems.

    And you don't have an override like on a house generator breaker, you just make sure all switches except your master/battery switch are off while...

DSC01384 I keep these 2.5 gal. containers with food stuff in the compartments under my quarter birth mattresses and it takes two hands to remove them. This means that I need to lift the mattress each time and hold it with my head. Ya know what? I'm getting tired of doing this each time I need to get at the containers. My next mod will be to cut each of my mattresses in half and recover them them with new material. This way, all I have to do is lift the mattress off the cover and move it out of my way or place it on the adjoining mattress. I may use Velcro to keep the mattresses joined, as I have omitted the two quarter birth mattresses that were under the cockpit seats in those cubby holes. I plan on doing the same thing in the V birth section. These mattress covers are in bad shape and need replacing anyway. Also, it's going to be easier to cover four short mattresses in this area of the cabin than it would be to cover two long mattresses. I think it's a plausible idea. What do you think?

DSC01385 I've got about six of these containers which are chock full of can goods and dry food goods. I usually buy it in the spring and store it in the containers and keep replenishing the food stuff as needed during the season.

DSC01108 I used to attach my yacht ensign to my backstay years ago till I got an idea of making a flag staff out of a short 1" S.S. pipe. I took the pipe to the marine fabricator one day and had him put a bend in it for me. I made a round cap out of a piece of Teak and attached it to the top of the staff and bored a hole in the other end of the pipe for the Fast Pin to hold it to my fore way fitting. It came out real nice. I keep the flag attached to the staff and I usually remove the staff and stow it in the cabin when the boat is on the mooring.

DSC01042 The curved pipe that the welder made up is about 30" high from the top of the transom and it leans forward in order for the mast crutch pipe to fit in the 90 degree base flange on the sole plate with the pipe straight up and down. The guy did a superb job I think and he only charged me $230. The straight mast crutch pipe stows pulls out of the four way fitting and is stowed down below in one of my settee compartments when not in use.

DSC00450 This is a mast crutch attachment that I had made up for me years ago by a marine metal fabricator. I made the wooden crutch and later install a small roller in it. The weight of the mast is being supported by the 90 degree 1" base fitting which is screwed to the cockpit sole just in front of the self bailing well.
