I am starting to get the upper hand, but it has been a month (or so) of constant battles.
I had quite a punch list from the first year of ownership, basically things to get the boat more 'dialed in'.
Here are the things . . .
.
Fume detector (the boat did not have one )
.
Secondary Bilge pump (I added a low profile pump in the bilge right at the transom to get most of the bilge water out)
.
Microwave (useful for overnights, this is the OEM style installation that I copied)
.
Bow storage (another owner of these boats found a large unused space in front of the cabin wall. Using his discovery - I cut an access hole and made the cushion removable)
.
.
.
Trim tab indicators and Outdrive Trim Gauge fixes (As if I didn't already have enough gauges at the helm, I added 2 gauges for the trim tabs (port/starboard) and got the outdrive senders/gauges working again.)
.
Bathroom Lighting - I had a previous fail of getting a PIR sensor to turn on the bathroom light . . . I came up with an alternative to the PIR with a 'night light and a pilot light indicating the location of the light switch when the cabin light CB is activated. The bathroom has no source of natural light, so it is pitch black when you close the door. Most guest struggle finding the light switch. This should be a decent solution. I also added an extra overhead light, since the OEM lighting was inadequate.

EDIT:
I forgot the water system mods . . . Mixing valve and a new water strainer for the pressure pump.
Anyway, I am hoping these improvements prove worthwhile for this year's boating.
