- Icebox deck access panel hinge needed attention. The flat head screws had worn the holes in the hinge oversize such that the head of the screws could pass through the holes in the hinge. Flipped the hinge end for end and re-drilled the holes. Started with a hole sized to the shank of the screw. Unfortunately, the screw stood proud of the hinge to such an extent that the access panel would not close. Re-drilled the hole 1/64 larger. Better fit, but still too tight. Need to enlarge the holes one more time.

- Tried bedding the depth sounder transducer in non-hardening modeling clay. Depth sounder display would not produce a result. Hanging the transducer overboard worked. Tried both on centerline under sole access panel in head/hanging locker and under aft access panel of starboard settee. No luck in either case. Next step would be to create an oil bath and try that.
