Hi, The mechanics are doing compression check, service etc on a 35 HP Honda on a 26X.
I have only seen some pictures, not complete, but told the pedestal has been removed and the wheel is now on the starboard cockpit bulkhead. For whatever reason, they said visibility, it has been done. I need sun protection, so will get a bimini. Also maybe sides and back because the SF Bay gets wet.
Am considering even making some kind of nice looking semi permanent enclosure as the boat is only to be used as a power boat, price might be similar to canvas. Does anyone have any experience for a dodger/bimini as a hardtop? Anyone seen the wheel moved to the bulkhead?
Considerations for either are visibility, deck access, and time of removal and attachment for trailering. Also, the new steering location in regard to whatever enclosure I mount if I buy the boat. Thanks, Stuart
