The latest addition to Carmela is digital cabin lights. I added 4 of them. The brightest and lease power hungry light is the one from Dr. Led dome light. That sucker is really bright (like a 60 watt bulb) and barely reads on my amp gauge. I would not believe it unless you saw it. Also two of the interior lights can be switched to red for night operation. I tried them and they really work well. You can read by the red light and not be blinded when looking at a dark horizon.
I also added a second outboard bracket (overkill) but I don't want to have to man-handle my heavy 4 hp 4 stroke dinghy outboard when transferring it from the boat to the dinghy. Now i just unbolt it from the outboard bracket and install it on the dinghy when I'm tied up to the stern of the boat. An added bonus is I can run the 4 hp outboard as a secondary engine in case my primary 9.9hp outboard quits. Just lower the bracket and use it.
This is the rebuilding of a 1975 Cal 2-27 sailboat. The interior was striped to a bare hull less the bulkheads. Enclosed are the photos of the progress and a lot of how to do stuff for the do it yourself boat builder.
