I added an additional temperature gauge, one with values, a volt meter to compliment the amp meter, and in the center a fuel pressure gauge. I have an electric fuel pump and have realized I need one with more flow.
Here is one of the SeaSense #50023755 LED dome lights that I have installed in the front cabin, but still need to replace the units in the rear. The switch has three positions, to the left is RED LEDs (0.08A), center is OFF, to the right is WHITE LEDs (0.16A). They use are sold at boating stores or online. Compare this to an #1156 bulb that is 2.1A, so using 7.6% of the power. They are a different color and not as bright, so I suggest you add these next to the existing lights, you can use one or the other or both.
Another addition are two new 6V Trojan T-105 batteries in series for my auxiliary battery bank (replacing two 12V batteries in parallel, which was a no-no). I switch this bank in with a perko switch to the chassis as needed. I can also connect the generator battery to the chassis if it needs a boost.
