Default When were y'all going to tell me ?

Getting ready for summer... checking it out all over...
found a few surprises !

Looking up under dash... I found bolts holding down windshield frame were missing a few...
Then I see this black box ?
Going up front I see the seat tops open to a glove box I never knew was there, plus access to back side of dash.
Also found the battery switch just slids off, to make removal of engine cover simple.

I had less than 80 hours on this boat, so the windshield bolts should be checked by everyone.

Added a 4 bow bimini top to offer some shade.
Down south it is easy to find the Sun, not easy to find shade, so I got a big top.

    We all thought you already knew!

    If I had not have been shown about the seat tops opening, there is just no telling how long it would have been before I discovered it on my own.
    Very clever idea about the glove box there on the port side. The other side opening to the back of the dash is priceless when you need to do something in that area.

    Yeah, those t-style dash bolts work their way loose quite easily. The problem is trying to retighten them without breaking the moulded dash. Be very careful !!!
