Ever wonder where to put your sunglasses in your H180 so it won't roll all over the place? And no, the stainless steel cupholder is for my beer.

$5 at Target in the Auto Accessories section.

Post your pix!

Nice. Unfortunately, if I took my sunglasses off I wouldn't even be able to find my cold drink. :evil:

I was looking at getting a nice steering wheel. There's the adapters on ebay to mount a standard car wheel.....which for some odd reason are the same ones for boats just half the cost

Also, probably a Garmin 421s

I installed a new Garmin 740 with a Lowrance fuel flow sensor. The data is sent to the GPS via NEMA2K network. It tells me GPH & MPG!!
I also installed a AIS receiver to the network. Not as good as radar, but it helps with some of the very fast ferrys going though Boston Harbor.

Nice Paul! You sound like a Maritime Sea Captain by trade.

The coolest floating key chain I've seen so far. I got it at Academy Sports+Outdoors for $3.98. Also comes in orange.

•Floats up to 5 keys using its vinyl-coated 1/2" foam buoy
•White life ring style key chain showcases the Jim-Buoy label
•Corrosion-resistant chain for durability
•Features white grab lines for an authentic look

Be aware the metal clip will rust and leave a nasty mark on the windshield. I've tried a number of different clips like that, even ones purchased as a boat store. After three different kinds, all of which rusted, I've given up. Yes, it seems like a good idea, but not when the convenience ends up making more work to clean up the rust stains.

when i don't need them they go in the glove-box...or hang them in the grooves on the windshield support.

I have gas hogs. Its an accessory that came with the boat. Basically, they are 5.0L engines in my engine compartment. Strangest thing.

No room for an extra battery? No problem- get a 400 peak amp jump starter! It fits nice and snug in my bow compartment.

I have one of those cool something I don't have to buy for the boat I will carry it even with two batteries.

I also installed a 2000 watt inverter. I use it to power the microwave for very short periods.

In the head, the last boat was a vac-u-flush. This boat come with a hand pump. I coverted it over to a electric pump. Works great, it put water in and pumps out the waste at the same time, like at home. It is noisy I must say!!

Coleman LED Spotlight. I'm tellin yall its the best bang for buck spotlight out on the market right now! It's only $54 on walmart.com and $49 at Academy Sports. LED doesn't overheat like those cheapy $20 and under spotlights and drain a full charge in 15 min. This one has a 2.5 hour full charge runtime. The only draw back is that it's a bit heavy but it doesnt bother me at all. It is ideal for all you boaters!

This past off season I had some stainless steel cross bars installed on my tower to hold a water tube above the bimini. I strap it down and the kids can go wakeboarding without deflating the tube. We stayed 7 days at the lake at the end of June and it was priceless.
