[SAUERKRAUT]

I did by the Baystar hydraulic system and it was simple to follow the instructions and fit it to the 115 E-tec. The hydraulic cables are run, but I am awaiting delivery of the consule to do the helm portion.

Electrifying the stbd. rubrail to wire in a bowlight worked well also as the middle portion of the Whaler rubrail is just a black rubber tube and made to pull out, and to hammer back into the molding (with the wires behind it).

For the better, I believe, I managed to stuff the battery, oil reservoir, fuel/water filter, bilgepump and battery switch under deck aft through the splashwell hatch opening. Access is a hassle for maintenance, but it sure makes for a neat clean boat topside, and preserves absolutely critical weatherproof, waterproof under consule space, which is always too small already in anybody's small boat.
