COCKPIT

PROPANE BOX TOO HIGH

This box was added by a previous owner to store propane tanks, but the cushion height was too high. We decided to remove it along with two smaller storage boxes located under the combings and replace all three with one long bench seat.

BOXES REMOVED

With the side boxes removed, the scuppers can better handle deck wash.

DAVITS ADDED

The original davits had been lost, but I was able to find these '50s era Wilcox/Critteneden aluminum davits at a used marine equipment store.

TANKS AND WINCHES

Propane tanks are bolted to the cockpit floor. The propane grill (overhanging transom) stows in port compartment. 12V dinghy winches await installation to transom framing.

FLYBRIDGE LADDER REPLACED

New storage uses cockpit space more efficiently and offers comfortable seating while underway or at anchor. A new ladder replaces the basic factory ladder.

WINCHES HIDDEN

Dinghy winches are hidden and protected in the compartment under the seat.
