Plumbing and wiring needs to be tidy looking but also serviceable. No point in zip tying everything down if you just have to undo it all to make a change or do maintenance.
Supplies and other tools, equipment in storage, etc., needs to be organized and accessible so you can actually find what you need.

Pardon the pun but I’m hooked on double sided velcro strips (hook one side, loop the other) which are common in IT installations. You can cut them to size and secure all your cords very neatly. Very easy to remove and replace any time you need to do maintenance.

I use those too, but still get annoyed if I have to take it all apart!

This is a really nice, simple, medicine cabinet; thinking of putting it on the side of my (white) Marine X 60.2... where'd you get it?
