Seems like there is always something going on that keeps me from working on the boat. We have company coming over this evening so I better post now.

Backing plates cut for the radar arch and cleats



table for two




Fuel/ water fills and vent on the port side. There is another fuel fill on the starboard side




Most of the wiring is going to run under the gunnel cap on this boat but I wanted to put in a chase tube so I could easily run whatever after the deck is sealed up. The boat had a hole cut inside the cabin beneath the helm for the steering cable. I ran some 3" abs under the deck to the engine compartment from this hole. I had to put in a round access deck plate so I could do the plumbing. This is a just in case chase tube. A couple shots showing this:








Installing thru hull fittings these are for the two bilge pumps











Installing thru hulls for the live well overflow and the end of day drain for the dead fish box and live well. These are 1.5" thru hulls:



Epoxy is used to seal the wood




Lots of 5200 on these









Bronze valves on the transom. It's going to be fun trying to avoid the manifolds when turning these on and off but there was no other place on the boat that I could mount them. Just going to have to be careful I guess.








Finally I was able to get the radar arch mounted yesterday. Thanks to Bill and Butch for coming over and helping me with that project.
