I thought the whole idea behind cali was year around boating.....
Flip those gears over and you can probably get another 3 years out of them.

- The black foam backing falls apart if you touch it. The third pic shows where I rubbed lightly with my thumb.
- The round wood blocks are where the recessed lights go. These are stapled on (a problem I had years ago with the headliner falling down). We are redoing all of these with 5052 and screws.
- I was considering replacing the "yellow" foam cushion areas but the foam seems fine (for now) and doesn't fall apart.
- We are going to add audio and HD video cables along the roof from the new Kenwood DDX719 head unit to the new flatscreen going in.
- Replacing all the bulbs in the cabin with LEDs LINK
Easy stuff!

Nort, do yourself a favor and cut down any edge of the outer panels that slides behind a wall or bulkhead to no more than 2" of overhang. This is particularly true over/behind the TV panel. This will make re-installation far, FAR easier.
Also, get two of those thin plastic sheets that are used for kitchen cutting boards, and put one above and below the ceiling panels as you slide them back in. This will prevent bunching up the foam rubber into a big log, and will protect the new vinyl.
Another thing that helps is to remove the mirror panel at the front of the v-berth. Lift up the front cushion and you will find two aluminum brackets screwed into the floor with two screws each. Remove the four screws and pull backwards on the bottom of the panel. It will pivot out until the pin at the top disengages, and then you can remove it completely.

Thanks Chuck! I passed it on.
