We completed the reinstall of the table on the starboard side settee. We went ahead and installed a second mount for an additional table in the future.

Good day! Yes! We increased the size of our starboard settee and installed a Mabru 12KBTU. We love it! So far we've mainly used it for heat as we installed it last November, but its amazing! Please see our post - here. The Mabru install was simple! The unit is insanely efficient. 12VDC heat...

Hi Christian, We're just on the other side of the hill from you. If you'd like to swing by one weekend and run the boat to feel the Maxprop, say the word!

Our dive also services the prop in the water every May. He says its very easy. We put together an ammo case with the tools / supplies as well as a canvas bag to take under with him. He didnt use the canvas bag... lol
