Cockpit Modifications and projects
Looking aft with camperback window rolled up to expose screening. We are told that the screening blocks visibility from the rear, although we see fine from inside. Fan clamps to transom bars and makes a big difference in hot weather. Nylon mesh bags sit down inside bars to hold drinks, water jugs, and propane cylinders kept in a porous nylon bag. Any leakage should go out of the splash well outlet. We normally lash a large cooler on the bars when underway to free up floor space. Rear panel goes behind lazerettes to free up significant space.

Led rope lighting installed under both port and starboard gunnels draw only .4A. Only one side is needed to illuminate the cockpit and much of the cabin. The rope over the cabin is just for fun.

Coleman chairs are comfortable and have a handy pull up shelf. Chairs are stowed under gunnels when trailering.Also note the cleat added inside the cockpit at the end of the gunnel tray. This is used to tie off and adjust the middle fender and to tie off the forward and aft docking lines so that they are in hand as we step onto the dock.

Ladder stowed up under gunnel

Collapsible oak boarding ladder for my bride is sturdy and stowes compactly.

Another view of transom bar storage. Folding coleman chair fits over porta potti to save space.

Added washdown pump under starboard lazerette and waterproof 12 V outlet. Bracket to hold magma cooking surface mounted with starboard spacer. The washdown is configured to take water from either the fresh water tank or externally. Added the red switch cover to reduce chance of accidentally energizing pump and to give visual indication that the pump is powered on. The water source can be easily switched between internal and external with a simple valve. Nylon strap / snaps in front of washdown hose secures starboard Coleman chair for trailering. Life buoy at far left is mounted to starboard aft wall of pilot house for quick deployment.
