| The boat had a dinette and a pop-in galley. The way it was installed it appeared to be an option. Since it took up a lot of space I decided it would go, along with the dinette table. In the table's place we converted to a berth-settee on both starboard and port sides. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| The primary use I intend is day sailing and short trips. The galley will be replaced by a sliding counter that will dissapear under the starboard cockpit seat. A small single burner stove can be set on the countertop while a meal is being prepared. The old galley had a poorly insulated cooler built in and this will be replaced with a 5 day cooler that will live under the companionway step |

| To the right and below is the new fuse panel and battery controller. The previous location is pictured above just to the left of the small black switch. The old panel was made of cheap plastic with push pull switches. I filled the hole with a piece of glass sandwich taken from one of the door cutouts from the Catalina 25. See, save those bits, you never know when you'll need them. I think the repair looks good, you can hardly see any scars. |

| Below is the 600 watt power inverter wired directly to the battery with a 60 amp fuse on the positive lead. Very handy for small tools and for powering a cabin fan for quick cooling. It will also power a laptop or DVD player. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| To the left of the red switch is another view of the old power panel patch. if you look carefully you can see some slight deformity in the settee support wall. From most angles it cannot be seen, almost looks like a new boat. | |||||||||||||||||||||
