I like that Tod. That's the good use of space. Right now the our M17 has an electric panel like the one you have mounted on the V-berth bulkhead, but mounted where the drawers are. The battery shut-off is about in the same place--maybe closer to the galley structure. I've probably seen this on the M site but because my head wasn't into the problem, skipped right by it. Ever thought about losing the sink? And I see the logic on weight distribution. t Tom Smith & Jane Van Winkle Sandpoint, Idaho M15-345, Chukar M17-064, Unnamed -----Original Message----- From: htmills@bright.net [mailto:htmills@bright.net] Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 4:05 PM To: 'For and about Montgomery Sailboats' Subject: RE: M_Boats: galley mods Also, Tom Busca's outboard is on the port side. The galley is on the port side. The battery is on the port side. Do you see the pattern? I try to store only light items in the galley. Heavier canned goods go nearer the ctrline in a storage tub under the cockpit. Water is stored in 1 gal plastic jugs under the v-berth. Initially they are loaded to stbd but they tend to migrate to port... Tod _____ This message was scanned for viruses!!
