And deployed for use:
Then I stuck my head under the crew seat and finished off all the wiring and venting for the Webasto heater. There are only two tasks left: fitting the exhaust skin fitting and the fresh air intake. Both outside jobs, and driving rain is not required.
When the boat arrived it had a Navico multi function display with through hull transponder, speed, temperature and timing features. It was removed to make way for the Garmin set-up. I decided why waste it, it has useful features and could always be a back-up. I took the cup-holder off and installed it in its place. That should have been simple, but behind that bulkhead was the black box sounder which had to be moved, and I had run out of fuse spaces. So I had to put in a new fuse block and another ground bus-bar, but that would come in useful later.
My Icom handheld VHF came with a charging base, and it makes a secure holding-place. I screwed it to the side shelf and routed the charging cable back to the electrics behind the bulkhead, making a permanent fixture.
And then...the rain eased off! Time for a quick outside job before home. I had bought two sets of rod holders which were fitted at the stern. Did I mention I love this work so much I do it twice? First time round the rod holders were fitted upside down. Lucky I noticed before looking at the photo! You can also see the life belt and holder fitted previously.
The next major job will be lining out the cabin. Watch this space
