Add full hydraulic steering to my list of upgrades. Any 292 owner with out the hydraulic steering owes it to himself to add it. What a totally different boat. I fought the urge for one year but finally bit the bullet. 100% satisfied.

New headliner, went with white instead of the factory grey. Brightened up the cabin!

Replaced the old TV vcr combo with an led dvd combo.

Sorry for the poor pictures.

This is the Volvo-powered boat, correct?

That TV installation looks vaguely familiar... It's amazing how much storage space that you gain behind the TV, isn't it?

Nice job.

Looseconnection,

Did you do the install yourself? I seem to remember a thread saying you did.

Yes. I farmed out bellows and gimbal bearings durning process cause I was running short of time. I had a machine shop cut and install the hose ends. All in all I have around 5k in the system. All I need now is a newer steering wheel. Mine is not looking so hot, I guess I need to wash my hands more often, the old steering wheel is oil colored.

Nice job.

@ C Spray, Yes this is one of the Volvo powered boats!

I purchased the boat in January & am making progress on some repairs & upgrades.

I did use your TV mounting idea however your install is a lot nicer than mine. I like the mounting plate you made or had made for your TV & would have prefered the same TV but couldn't find it anywhere.

I have a few more projects in the works, will post pics as they move along.
