    New Helm Seat for 330 Express

    It's the Mako model. not Marlin, Llebroc doesn't make a seat called the Marlin as far as they list on their website anyway... https://www.llebroc.com/product-p/4bmk3001.htm

    Too Short to See Over Windshield! Step Suggestions?

    I don't know if I saw it on here or THT, but someone had a helm riser built out of starboard that was hinged so you could store some stuff inside it, and had and EVA helm pad on top for some cushioning. it looked super slick but i'm sure it was $$$. custom boat outfitters job I'd guess.

    Underwater lights?

    The other thing about lumitecs is their CS is fantastic. If your light does crap out they will replace it.

    Group 31 Batteries in a Seafarer 228?

    What's the problem you are trying to overcome here? Are dual 27's not enough juice? Did Bluesea's advise you against using their ACR with different size batteries? If you aren't using an ACR or AUX charging cable from the motor, how are you keeping your house battery charged currently?

    Computer Literacy Question

    Yep, I use chrome as my default browser. Prob most browsers have some functionality like this, but I've been using chrome for a long time so it's just second nature.

    Computer Literacy Question

    I bookmark my threads of interest in Chrome, and therefore can adjust the name or put them in various folders as I see fit to keep things organized. The chrome bookmark manager (control + shift + O) works well for this. This way I can have threads from here, The Hull Truth, or local forums all...

    Then I cut a big hole in the deck

    Man that looks awesome. How difficult was it to re-route the wires etc. in that rigging conduit? Has anyone ever made a flush fitting fiberglass hatch for that area? I couldn't do it but thought a proper shop should be able to, right?
