This first one is probably pretty basic, Mac might have intended it to be done, but I rigged up a 5 or 6 ft. length of 1/2 inch yacht braid between the 2 cleats of the in deck fish boxes. It makes single handed lifting of the boxes a lot easier.
Also on the transom bait well system......Mac made a couple modifications for me. I have a drain on the upper port side of the tank. A low profile inlet on the starboard side. The stand pipe drain is eliminated and the "end of day" drain is a bathtup type plug at the bottom of the tank. It makes for a more open tank with less obstructions for the baits to run into. I also sealed up the inner top rim of the tank where it meets the lid with Life Seal so there is no water draining into the bilge. And finally I replaced the blue 1/2 inch high pressure rigid tube from the pump to the inlet port with 5/8 flexible reinforced hose and the Shurflo female fittings to the pump and inlet. This cut the noise from the bait pump by 100%.
Art for arts sake........I replaced the vent in the cabin. I opted not to get the air conditioning, seeing as how the weather in So. Cal. is always perfect.......except for the occasional earthquake, firestorm, flash flood, landslide or 60+ knot devil wind. Anyway, my new "non vent":
