In keeping with the theme of covering up sharp edges I decided to do the galley door
Makes squeeks go away as well
Definitely doing it...One could ask why this is not done at the factory, especially on the QX and Q series?

Ummm wanna watch a 100k boat go to 110k for no reason! LOL. I think 9 out of 10 people don't give a crap or would never notice things like this. This is where people like you and I care do the mods yourself
I would feel like most people here (that don't seem to wanna do anything) this would be a mod that is right up their ally ya know somthing "easy to do and cheep"

I like it when I take delivery of our boat I'm going to take a look at our edges. It is going on my "things to do list."

...My point was it should already be included in the cost of the $100K boat . Being from the automotive industry, I understand the importance of cost controls in mfg. Amazing what you can take out of a vehicle to save a few cents or a few bucks. It all adds up over large production volumes. Coming from the sales and marketing side of the industry, we would fight with the manufacturing folks and bean counters all the time on product quality and "right sizing" issues. Or, they just missed it and us OCD folks found the "area for improvement".

I feel ya. I was complaining in another thread about the Dash switches on my Q. They are not lit at night and the first thing you have to do is "hunt" for the switch to turn on the Bimini lights so you can light up the dash and then choose your switch.
another "to do" item and I'm sure I could make a list of things that should come stock but never will. I enjoy tinkering so to me it's no big deal but i do understand what your saying.

I like the looks of what Mr. G did and will probably do the same thing when I get some time. However, what I did is to buy a package of small felt pads at the hardware store (just like what you use for home cabinets) and installed them in strategic areas so my doors, helm, etc. don't slam closed or rattle. Works good but just lacks the "finished" look of Mr. G's approach.
