thinking i might buy a tent the size of the cockpit and remove the floor ... it might be easier and way lighter.....

Just sail the boat and make changes / improvements one at a time.------Or look for a boat that has all the features you want.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! well as it turns out my solar panel kit is complete junk. i will be buying a renogy system . in the near future. i have got now for everything i ordered , blue led courtesy lights, led lights for the cabin and berth, anchor light, wiring, led nav lights, airhorns, switches, and i will also be recieving the stern light and new radio with 200w speakers . the new stern light will be in jan, and the radio and speakers are here on wednesday dec 28th.

well, here is the start to the new panel. new switches are installed, next is the battery switch. battery switch will be mounted on the right side, then a cell phone charger and battery meter will go on the left side of the switches

 

[1975oday22]

here is an update on the panel, have not got the charger or monitor yet.

 

[1975oday22]

only way i could install the lights. and 2 is plenty bright .... one for salon and one for vberth. next i will be wiring the courtesy lights up. also have to figure out where im going to install the air horn system.

 

[flashback]

If you plan on sailing the boat the Air Horn will be a problem.

how will that be a problem? care to elaborate? what are my options to mount ? was thinking of mounting on top hatch in vberth, or mounting just in front of it. ?

 

[1975oday22]

here is a pic of the front , just in front of the hatch is where i was thinkin.....

 

[flashback]

The sheets and foresail will get tangled on it when tacking, people will trip up on it when working on the foredeck. Etc etc..
It will be in the way. If you gotta have it hang it off the transom..

 

[1975oday22]

blue lights are all hooked up . still doing alot of wiring . waiting on new stereo to come in.

Looking good my friend! Those lights do seem like they light up the cabin quite well, were those the only lights on in those pictures? Recessed switch panel looks very nice and convenient. Is the battery switch a master shut off or a selector?
