proper routing



I am very proud of this because of it's simplicity... I used simple plumbing supplies because the deck pipe I needed for our set up is so large ( the shackle is so huge) that I couldn't buy it in the store. I built this one and it'll be a good test as to how long it'll stay.

new location



battery box has been made and relocated to it's final spot in the galley also serving as a bench or night stand... it was previously in the engine room making work very difficult especially in the rear and adding unneccesary weight to the rear which is a real big NO, NO!

getting rid of the blue





slowly but surely we are painting the ugliest blue out of our existence... note brass window frame for the wheel house has 80 screw holes ... that is 320 holes to be plugged with epoxy and wood, since there are 4 of these puppies. See hatches waiting for the new plexi to be installed. Aluminium rings to follow for sure.

safe and ready for expansion





This is the new AC panel with the associated new plugs and new wiring for the AC side of our boat... all very neat and safe and protected from surges and spikes. Still have to make a panel for it because the box I made early on is not what Pete (the electrician) had in mind. Oh, well it'll be a great little medicine cabinet for the guest bath. All plugs are GCFI protected by the way. We have no electricity on our floating dock but that'll change soon. The galvanic isolator has been on my list of things to install for a year and so.
