Albeit at a very slow pace. Yesterday I spent the better part of 9 hours at the boat working on the pre-launch list. But, it seems like every project gets put on hold until I get another part.
I got the conduit in the mast for electrical wires, but couldn't fasten it in because I had the wrong size rivets. I installed the 110v electrical plug in the side of the deck house, but couldn't wire it without the wire. Was going to install a temporary engine control box to mount the panel in, but it needs an 1/8" shaved off with the table saw. Well, you see where this is going.
I did managed to get the hull washed and waxed. Red made up a topping lift cable for my mast, so now I don't have to use the rope, I can turn that into a spare halyard. I ripped out some more wiring, the old instrument transducers and the VHF antenna cable. Tried to determine how much room I actually have for a fridge. Which by the way I have decided to build in place. So much for the time and expense on the first fridge box, but I learned some things along the way, so not a total loss. I also finally got the front hatch just right. Now I can glass that up and get it installed.
Today I want to finish up rigging and wiring the mast. The VHF will have to wait until I am finished at Pride Marine so that I can get one more fitting, but I think everything else can be done. Maybe build in the cockpit seat that is cut out, and start putting the cockpit drains back together. I didn't take any pictures yesterday, because nothing really happened. Sad considering the amount of work I put in. Maybe today will have more note worthy progress.
Later
Rob
