    There's a long curled hollow section in the interior liner a little over a foot above the cusions. With a little effort, you can push wires up for a hidden chase from stern to midship.

    I have a 26S. My battery is under the sink. Better central position. I have an idea for a fridge or cooler under the starboard settee. A few obstacles so it might not happen.

    Great mods and repairs. A lot of people put their battery under that seat as the factory location under the sink is hard to reach.
    Im rewiring mine now. Nav lights didnt come on so I decided to do it over the right way with new wire and led lights.
    Also like the tent shelter. I park under a hemlock tree and its very very messy so I must cover up.

      We have a stupid banyan tree. They're beautiful but make everything dirty. If I don't cover the boat, it looks like we live on a dirt road with high traffic in no time.
      Rewiring was pretty easy and it made me feel better, knowing it was done right. Glad to hear you're doing the same and enjoy the videos!!!

    Heh. I recently had my cushion covers cleaned and they were such a pain to put back on! Nice work!

      It was a bit easier with two of us, but yes I agree... Pain in the butt!

      I took apart all my cushions and washed the covers and bleach-water dipped the foam. It took like a week to dry. I like your new foam. As you know getting the covers BACK on is hard.
      Question: do you find that your cushions are a little small? I wonder if my covers shrank. The big berth cushion could be 6" longer and still fit.

    We just acquired a Macgregor Venture and it’s missing the bow rail. Any suggestions on fabrication of that? Thank you for the inspiring video!

      Congratulations! If I were trying a bow rail, I might try bending the rail myself and attaching a few fitting that allow a connection at 60 degrees or so along with two that shoot down at 90. From those, you could shoot legs down at that 60 degree angle into other attachments which connect to the bow. The good thing with me is that I found all that metal for $25, so if I screwed it up I wasn't out too much. Good luck and please post your progress!!!

      I found a used bow pulpit on Ebay once. Many are not very boat-specific.
