Whats the black square thing to the left of the vent? And why the round access cover on the hatch?

The black square is a trim switch. It's real handy to have when getting the boat ready to travel, etc. Instead of undoing the canvas and climbing up to use the switch on the throttle.

The round access cover is to disconnect the hatch actuator. Normally my sunpad is covering it and you don't see it.

Thanks. I also like the 300x on my old 24 with the trim switch on the engine, Something to think about on the Y2K

Hay KRAK!
How do yopu open your hatch if the battery is dead, I know you have the electrric hatch lift?

Dave, would that drive shower work on an XR drive/ THe XR has a finned top cap

Boat looks really nice Dave. All your winter slaving is finally paying off. Way to go!

Glad To See Your Progressis Coming Along !!!! I Used The Same Blue On My Boat..........

Gary H -
JC did it right on the hatch, he installed an access panel in the underseat storage/ice chest area, and installed a very nice T-pin quick release at the base of the hatch lift; first class.


Dave M - I like that helm! What system did you install?

The helm is Marine Machine, the rest of the hoses and fittings is from IMCO.

Thanks Keith

Hey Dave,
Nice job raising your hatch.
I am going to visit JC in a few weeks. I would like a new flat hatch without the sun pad. What do you think?
How did she run?
Are you going easy on her for the first few hours?
I am not sure if I will be capable of holding back when mine hits the water...
I like your new vent covers! Eddie Marine?
I ordered something similar with handles...
