[C38] Best upgrades

[Max Soto]

Couple more things:

1-Replace the risers and  traveller with a garhauer or harken....It usually
takes two people to adjust it, as you can see on the clip that I sent
yesterday, I was pulling the boom while someone else was adjusting the car..
and get a streight one, not a curved one.

2-I also use the boat as a cabin, so when I installed the air conditioning,
the boat is great for sleeping while on the slip.
3- A battery monitor with amp meter is great for keeping everything under
control
4- That reminds me of another thing: get rid of the amp meter on the engine
panel.. Catalina recommends it...too much current going back and forward!!
