PROJECT-A-PALOOZA!!! -- Galley stove mounting and shelf

I used a narrow piece of plywood and glued some small drawer organizers onto it. I added a few bits of teak trim and then screwed it to the narrow ledge that the previous fiddle was attached to. Nothing fancy, but very useful!

We do very little cooking on the boat. Usually eating out or grilling something outside in the cockpit. A little butane stove works fine for us (canisters stored out in cockpit).

I needed some way to keep it in place, and I also wanted a cutting board of some type.

I glued some cleats to the galley top that fit the outside edges of the butane stove. The stove sits down in the cleats and doesn't move.

I found an appropriately-sized cutting board and glued some mating cleats to the bottom of that so that, when in place, the stove cleats held this secure from the bottom.

I lined the cleats up so that the cutting board overlapped the sink edge when it was in place on the stove mounts.

With the stove in place, the cleats on the bottom of the cutting board sit right down into the sink opening, square, and hold it in place there, adding a bit of extra counter space!

Nice job (as aways with your work!). It appears that you have a volt/current meter on the far aft part of the "fiddle" outboard of the galley counter--what brand, or source is that.

I notice a 110 V plug--is that factory stock? Does it have GFCI?
 
Hi Bob!

The battery monitor is a BEP Marine BM-1 "Compact" model.

It looks to be outdated a bit now. This industry changes like the weather. I bought it on Ebay a year or so ago for about $65 bucks.

Wasn't interested in counting coulombs or anything, I was just interested in an instantaneous reading of V and A from the house battery. Seems to do what I need it to.

The outlet was already there when I bought the boat (used). There is a GFCI version protecting the loop elsewhere in the AC daisy-chain.

Best Regards,
Ray
