Charlie's pilot house control panel

The control panel has not changed much in th 28 years of Charlie's life. We have added controls for the electric anchor winch, the electric toilet, the wind speed and direction indicator and the bow thruster. The original Ritchie compass and the autopilot are there as well as the GPS and the new computer with plot charter. There is a intruder alarm and battery chargers for the video and cell phones. The "best" item is the control that shows the position of the rudder, which makes backing up very easy and this is useful when tying up in a harbor. We added a new pilot's seat for comfort after the old seat broke its back.
