Default Re: Phase one of my could be major overhaul

well since its raining its ass off here are a few more-

first here is a pic of those screws that punched the hole in the fuel cell vent line- i have rerouted the hose so it doesnt come in contact with them but I need to put some chafe protection for the screws before I resecure the wires.



Im getting ready to foam (uhhhggg) in the tanks in a few spots and am putting some wood wedges back in to keep the tanks/cells from shifting when the foam expands. The tanks are the same shape as the bottom so it is important that they stay in the right spot- this is the way they were originally installed- i could also strap the tanks down but havnt decided if its even worthwhile-



Here is the new fuel line and vent line from the tanks forward



Next is the inside of the transom cleaned up- the hose is for the remote bilge pump yet to be installed- it sux that there is no room for a standard pump but thats just the way it is- I am going to rig a "Y" valve into my seawater intake so I can use the motor to pump out large quantities of water if needed (hopefuully never) That aft pump is really not much good. water never gets back that far of any appreciable quantity- great design feature



Just a couple more pix before I foam them in and replace that deck- hopefully before that next tropical event (shhhh) maybe it wont come- knock on wood





thanx again- craig
