- Purchased new house battery, a DC31-HD group size 31
, from Pasco Battery Warehouse
. Voltage read 12.80v immediately before install.
- Scrubbed out the under floor area for the house (aft) battery.
- Sprayed down and rinsed out the bilge.
- Installed the DC31-HD in place of the existing DieHard house battery.
- Purchased Schaefer 10" Standard Grip Aluminum Winch Handle
from Fawcetts. Best price once shipping costs are included.
- Installed PL-259 on RG-8X from masthead after cutting to appropriate length.
- Tested receive and transmit. Requested "radio check stating my location as Spa Creek". Received confirmation from a boat at the end of 3rd street in Spa Creek. ;)
- Removed strap eye from lead for the port side traveler control light cam cleat. Replaced it with a Harken 14 mm Lead Ring
. Need to test and need to create a guide to hold the line against the lead ring. Perhaps a piece of plastic about 1/2" in width wrapped around the ring from side to side.
- Used test leads to connect 12DC (anchor light) to compass lights. Not able to detect any light. Verified that anchor light was lit. Possible issue.
- Removed unneeded lengths of line from boat in preparation for the 2020 Ted Osius Memorial Regatta
.
