Outboards OK (Knock on wood) and Misc.

Today was the 3rd weekend in a row that my outboards have started and stayed that way!  I think that is behind me and looking forward to getting out more often.  In the last few weeks I have been tending to some minor stuff.

Last week I went up the mast to retrieve the masthead wind transducer and the anchor light.  I was not getting any readings on the wind display.  After testing the voltage drops, I was about to send the transducer and display in for repair, but I decided to try and rewire and calibrate.  It worked! Saved a bunch of money and now it is working.  Next step is to network the displays with the newer i70 autohelm and E80 chartplotter, which I believe are NMEA 0183, NG, and Seatalk respectively.

I bought the teak binoculars holder used and mounted it below the magazine rack as shown.

Now that the wind tranducer is working, I can close up this box. I decided to add a new cabin light under neath.

And added molding  Cleans it up nicely!














Till next time!
