No more hull banging! Each pool noodle has an equal length of thin PVC gardening pipe run thru it to add some stiffening to the noodle

New custom helm seat from Bentley?s Mfg in Portland, OR. This is their ?large? Sport Deluxe. Well made, comfortable with good support, and easy to install. It is soooo much better than the original seat!!!
I have a latch connecting to the mooring ring. The latch came from a winch strap that I had replaced on the trailer. If so desired I can simply loop the latch thru the ring and attach it back on the noodle lines (depending on the nature of the mooring attachment).
The system looks a bit peculiar but I?ll take that for a quiet night?s sleep. Plus it?s kind of fun when folks tootle past in their dinghy looking at it.

The hose simply extends into the forward cabin by a few inches and is held in place by a bungee cord. This allows quick assembly/disassembly and also facilitates some directional placement if so desired. I was amazed by the strength of the air flow, which quickly cooled the area
The 3" diameter hose is a separate 3' length (although stretchable as desired) that easily slides onto the funnel cover. The 2 separate parts came from Lowe's and were in the area where you find dryer parts. By keeping the funnel cover and hose separate parts they easily come apart for storage.
How to cool the v-berth area? The small Frigidaire AC is place into the center opening window. I then made a funnel cover that fits over 1 side of the AC. It literally snaps on using 2 magnets. Holds fine and I then slide on the hose that runs into the v-berth. The air blows in quite strong and nicely cools down the forward cabin while the other side of the AC unit is still cooling the main cabin.

New Drawers... each piece was modular and we actually ended up placing deeper drawers on the top parts of a less deep rack (to fit along the angle of the hull). Note: we have now been using these for ~7 years and still love them. They still look and work like new with absolutely no signs for wear or rust.
