These are very convenient. Driver and passenger side. I'm thinking of putting 2 in the back. Also in the cuddy. Fit perfectly into old lighter holes.

Spent time prepping the bilge for filler and realized I was running low on filler. Gotta order some tomorrow. People crack me up who say the N95 mask’s are uncomfortable to wear in a store. They need to do some hard standing in a confined space while wearing one!
