What's your winter " to do" list for the V ?
Besides the winterizing and trailer hub re packing, I've just got a few ideas:
1. Convert front port seat from fixed facing forward to swivel. 2. Enhance snaps on side curtains to avoid risk of flapping / tearing when trailering. 3. caulk bottom of hull rub rail -because I believe it's a possible source of water intrusion when waves are banging up against the hull. 4. re install cuddy door lock, and move hinge/door hook in to catch just a little easier. ...........and maybe some other things.

Change the spin on fuel filter. (The old one is getting a bit corroded) The new one has a petcock on the bottom to release any accumulated water.
 Go to a dual battery system on the V21. Right now it's just a single and I like the idea of a second battery. Investigate a solar panel recharging system and see if it's feasible.  Upgrade the front bilge pump from a 750 to a 1200. (The main is a 2000). Choke on the cost of an enclosure for the V21  and decide to get one "next year" .Switch from Bourbon to Rum.

Whups.... Guess it's still available if you enter the correct info.... it's a 1.5 watt solar panel, not a 15 watt. My bad. Actually, that unit looks like a good thing to use for my garden tractors and some other items that sit for long periods of time. Reading the reviews it's great at maintaining a fully charged battery. I may just buy a few of them. Again, thanks for the link :
