- Stopped by HomeDepot for Rust-Oleum
one quart High Gloss White
and box cutter blades.
-
- Removed manual bilge pump 1-1/4" thruhull by placing the 18" crescent wrench on the retaining nut and using the Groco thruhull tool to spin off the thruhull from outside the boat. The hose had been very difficult to remove and did not yield easily to cutting a box cutter. Used the Groco thruhull tool to force the hose off the thruhull. Outside diameter of threaded portion of thruhull is 1-5/8".
-
- Removed the forward lower and upper chainplates and backing plates so that I can paint the knees, bulkhead section, etc that will be either covered or inaccessible after final installation of the forward lower and upper chainplates and backing plates.
- Taped the deck opening for the forward lower and upper chainplates closed to prevent possible rainwater instrusion.
-
- Moved the depthmeter inboard to the location of the knotmeter below the windmeter.
-
- Installed the Blue Sea Systems
MRBF-1 Terminal Fuse Block
with MRBF Terminal Fuse - 100A
on the forward, #1, battery. Added the same fuse holder and fuse to the aft battery, #2, during the previous week. Both batteries now fuse protected.
