My progress has slowed recently as I work on the bilge plumbing and wiring. Just having all the fittings and hardware required is a challenge given that I am really only able to work on the boat during the weekends. Here is the state of my bilge as of today. I still need to better secure the wires somehow. I called a time out on myself from drilling the hole for the strainer. I was going to drill the hole and then just apply liberal amounts of 5200 but I think a more technical solution is appropriate.
