So that's a "no"...got it. I'm missing a stainless one.

I was missing both.So that's a "no"...got it. I'm missing a stainless one.
My boat's battery setup is a single port side starter, and a dual starboard side setup, wired in parallel for the house. (I think). I would like to add a 4th in parallel to the port side single, to match the other side with dual batteries. That extra battery would run that starter, and increase the capacity to install an upgraded pair of amps, about 1200 watts, to keep it off of the house circuit. Has anyone done this? Is this a simple plug and play as far as the battery isolator goes and the charger? Works on one side, shouldn't it work on the other?
After working the whole weekend on putting my new floor in (still being sore) , I got most done in the kitchen and salon but it's still work in progress. I'll keep y'all updated...
That looks awesome! I dig the compass rose, and like how you took the joint for the stair removal out of the equation. I wished I would have figured something out for that. I hate that joint... Are you going to put new pull latches in for the hatches? I spent some money on nice Perko's because they would be exposed, and then saw some knockoff's that looked identical at Wholesale Marine for 1/3 of the cost.... If you're not doing it already, you could leave the clean look that you have, and just push them up from underneath by crawling through the lazerette hatch when you needed to access the engines from the salon.
I tried to put mine in tight enough to not need trim. There was no trim from the factory vinyl floor to the vitricor wall in the galley, and I liked that clean look. I did keep the carpeted toe kick under the sink cabinet that you can't really see.
If I were to go with trim, I would definitely loose the carpeted base boards and do something like a small flexible quarter round that I could match closely like this:

For the stair nosing, I used the plastic trim piece that Plasteak sells. Don't love it, but I can live with it...
Their stair nosing trim is 3/4" Our stair treads are 1" thick, plus the 3/16" thickness of the flooring. I ripped some panel down to glue to the nose, and then put the plastic trim over that to cover the joint.
I left the edges raw and sanded them smooth on the dinette step and floor under the table.
Juergen,
Where did you get the compass rose from? That looks great.

Ha! Most of mine is my wife's idea! I'm just her personal laborer! I've told her that this Saturday is "amplifier" Saturday... That one is pretty much just me... I ordered 2 amps this week to replace the ancient factory 240 watt Clarion that's trying to push 10 speakers and a sub up hill. I picked up a used 6 channel 600 watt RMS JL off of EBay for the 6 outside speakers, and a 600 watt RMS 2 channel Kicker for the sub, and adding a second sub, that I'm going to mount on the opposite starboard side of the helm. All of my speakers have already been replaced with new JL stuff. The previous owner had already dropped in a decent Fusion deck a few years ago. Nothing like cutting a 10" hole in your fiberglass to make you pucker. I've "toyed" with adding (2) 6 1/2's facing rearward somehow in the transom for when we're getting our float on. Most of the new boats incorporate them. I'm not seeing a great location for them, and doubt I'll do it. I would like to see if anyone else has done something similar, or even pics of other 400DB stereo installs that are a little more than stock. I don't need to be the party cove DJ, but would like great sound bumping down the lake at 10 miles per hour with friends enjoying a beverage.Jeeze. You guys are all stepping up your game! I thought I was doing well with updates to my boat. Not so much anymore.
