Interested to see if your phone slides or jumps out of that when under way.

Not so far, it slides in tight. On the other hand, my phone flew out of my pocket jumping to the dock and sank into a swamp yesterday. Couldn’t believe a buddy and I were able to scoop it out with a Muskie net from 3’ of muck. It was still on and works perfectly. Guess the iPhone 8 really is water proof.

Got all the speaker lights working.

Going to do some Blue LED mood lights. I learned on the first boat that you need to have the bow lights on a separate switch or circuit from the rear. The bow lights were too bright and compromised my night vision. (also too bright of a LED bulb in the instrument gauges was an issue as well)

So this time I used the lowest .5W LED bulbs in the gauges. And I'm going to be able to run bow and stern or just stern lights.

Sadly, she is back in her storage unit for winter. :(

On a good note, it's modification season..... :)
