I was disappointed also. I expected that terminal block to be plated brass, but I know where to buy a strip with plated brass contacts as a replacement. Remember my comment about the raw (salt) water burbling down the harness; well this was the dropping off point.
The shield is stock but my Sunbrella snap on cover is missing so the Plexiglas was dirty. I hope the cover is stowed below. The shield is fixed and sometime the glare is a pain but the panel is in great shape. We haven't done a first sail yet this year as late heavy rains and my wife's severe allergies have pushed us back. She's finally able to stand some outside time (tree pollen has dropped off) so we may go sailing this Sunday.
