Some additional electrical work

06 December 2015

Finally got around to cleaning up the Hurricane II hydronic heater electrical wiring (more about how great Hurricane folks are later).  Now it is time to label and fabricate a protective cover.  Box for the rotary selector switch and dryer breaker fabricated and installed.  Twelve new Trojan t105 batteries were installed in 4 battery boxes in series/parallel 12 volt system.  We have also begun to add structure in the center and  next to the steering room doors on which to mount the hinges which are being fabricated.

Radar arch completed and equipment installed

04 October 2015

Completed radar arch was back from powder coaters and installed.  Bulk of equipment was installed on the arch.

Head sinks and plumbing

27 August 2015

With the head and galley countertops recently installed, we installed the head sinks and plumbing.  We finally have something other than the showers for water and cleaning possibilities.

Under-galley sink filters and plumbing were installed, along with the galley cooktop and the propane system.. 

Bow Rollers and radar arch

11 July 2015

Began modifications to starboard bow roller so it would self-deploy and reset, along with fabricating a second bow roller for a larger anchor for the port side.  Radar arch was now ready for dry-fit before completion and powder coating.

Installed blackwater tank sensors

03 May 2015

Modified the blackwater tank vent cover plate to accept a Ferriello inductive level sensor on both sides of vessel.  The voltage output will be converted to 4-20 ma output and fed to a NMEA 2000 back bone system.  Both sensors were calibrated outside the black water tanks.

Installed port head

28 April 2015

Builder had only installed head on the starboard side.  Installed Vacuflush head and vacuum generator on the port side of boat.  System has the benefit of being nearly ideal installation with the head directly above the vacuum generator and the generator sitting on top of the blackwater tank.  Less than a total of 3 feet of sanitary hose from head to blackwater tank with a continual gradient downward.

Rails protecting stateroom to head stairs

28 February 2015

After a slight miss-step it became an imperative to fabricate protection for the stairs from the staterooms down to the head and shower.  They were over-designed to match the vertical post installed by the builder.
