More fasners to squeeze it more evenly? Clear adhesive so it's less visible?

I don't know.... But appreciate being able to follow along.

That is what I see most of the time when doing it that way. I think the trim idea is your best bet.

Well, update.

Tearing out the vhb windshield. Boat is too nice for crap like that. Going to redo it with the glass inside. May have to paint the aluminum some year; not now.

Side nets arrived today. Really spendy, but look good. Need to evaluate hardware needs for install. Need some screws.

Rooftop painted. Three coats, first two were too blue for the redfin.

Yeah, looking very good! You already have it running on shore power? I see a power cord looks like plugged in.

Cheater cord, but yes. Only I am a little confused about how much power I have really. I think I am only setup for 30 or 50 amps, which is plenty really; except for if I add air conditioning and it wants some 20 amps. I am using a cheater cord for now, so haven't been able to test to see if the system can handle 30-50 amps as I am only sending her 20...and not spent enough time with the inverter and the cerbo is not setup yet.

Once the solar and engine voltage converterd are done, the boat should be mostly self sustaining; except for shade or engines not in service.

The less than glamorous removal of the polycarbonate uglies.

Hey Fallguy,
