[Rhodes22-list] repowering Fretless

[Mary Lou Troy]

Joe, Lou & all,
I've posted this before so if it's a repeat sorry.

Our cockpit controls are mounted on a board that is clamped to a post 
that fits in the table leg socket in the center of the cockpit. This 
means they are removeable (we just take out the post and store it and 
the controls under the seat). We got a spare table leg from Stan and 
originally planned to cut it off but we never have, still considering 
it a work in progress - plus you can still put the table on top of it 
if you want.

The beauty of this is that it puts the controls right under the 
tiller. Pictures attached.
