A few years ago, started project to strip decades of varnish and apply teak oil to the companionway boards & trim. Made Sunbrella covers to protect against UV and contaminants/rain. Used snaps lining up with existing snaps on perimeter of companionway. (Covers shown below teak oil photos.). Spring 2019 completed same for all exterior wood.

Also made covers for coamings using Sunbrella mate, dowels held in with grommets and Spring Clamps to hold in place.
Replaced Marinco-Nicro Fan Jun 2019. Many years ago, I bought a Nicro Vent on sale, purchased the $12 extended warranty and since these fans have failed every 2 years or so, I return it and get a replacement for free and a new ext warranty ! This has worked for me since original fan was $99 and they continue to base the new ext warranty on my original purchase price ! These days, a new Vent is very costly and the ext warranty, proportionately much more costly. Have noticed that Marinco has made substantial improvements to this latest upgraded Vent design - Still fits original hole. but old support plate must be removed.
~ 2018. Replaced cockpit cushions. Also, all interior upholstery replaced with Sunbrella matl !
Spring 2019. - Replaced Porta-Potti and made supports to hold in-place.
