T&T: 12 volt receptacles

[Keith]

You know how surveyors are... they just HAVE to find something to write up. 
Some of these things you have to push back on with your insurance company. 
At my original survey, he wrote up that my wing doors wouldn't lock 
properly. The insurance company was going to require me to "fix" this, until 
I explained that there were open decks on either side of those doors. 
Wouldn't matter if they were open, closed, locked, etc. Another time the guy 
wrote up, without even asking, "no compass deviation card spotted. Recommend 
one be made." Now there's not even a requirement for a compass, much less a 
deviation card!

Feel free to push back on some of these silly things and discuss it with 
your insurance company, or even the surveyor.
