Difficult battery locations, engine mounted oil filters outboard when a remote sender would make things cleaner. Yacht designers have no sense of what the word functionality is. It's more like 10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag with them. It takes an engineer qualified captain (I was an engineering officer in the US Coast Guard) to keep an eye on the details. It is not my intention to redesign the wheel, simply keep it in balance.
