    Removing padded headboards?

    Hi I was told that you could remove the padded headboards above the windows in the forward berth. There is evidently access to the navigation wiring. Has anyone ever taken them out? Is it glued or screwed? Thanks Michael

    Fuse panel

    Does anyone know where I could find a schematic for the fuse panel located on the back of the drop down hatch under the helm. It appears that it may have been labeled at one point but can no longer be discerned. Thanks Mike
