well dodger is installed, and I for the most part I am happy with the end result.
The outermost corners of the panels can catch lines, so I am going to tie a simple line across that gap (1") where the lines can fall between handrail and corner.
The forward end can also catch things, like sails or lines. To fix that I'll tie a small line from the bottom of each corner/stanchion base up to the corner of the handrail. A simple fix.
The panels work great, I've been running my fridge solely off the batteries since I hooked them up.
I had some issues with running the cables, and ended up not liking what I did (ran 5 RV sockets through deck and combined panels below deck. I should've gotten a waterproof box and combined them above deck so I only had two wires, albeit heavier gauge, going through the deck).
Another thing I would change is how the feet are. They should have been kept separate so that they could be mounted and caulked before the frame was mounted. I did it so the whole thing is one piece. Although the frame is all 316 tube and cst fittings, I had a friend tack them together with a TIG welder so there is no wiggle.
The frame is very sturdy, is an excellent handhold, and with the elastomeric caulking down the seams between the panels, it is waterproof (from above). I haven't tackled wind/rain barricades for the perimeter yet.
