Well, after all the hoses and wires were connected the toilet appeared to be dead. As I started troubleshooting, I realized that an inline fuse holder was wired into the +12V wire from the battery but I never actually put a fuse in it! Once that was fixed, we were in business. No leaks, no troubles. Happy!
The 2nd set of tiles is ready
Picked up the second set of tiles today: an octopus, jellyfish, whale tail, anchor, crab, Golden Gate Bridge, and the Big Dipper pointing to Polaris. Looking pretty good.
First test of the plumbing
Performed the first test of the pluming by connecting a hose to the city water inlet. Almost everything worked just fine. So awesome to have faucets in the galley and head working! A few leaks showed up but I think all of them can be fixed with adding plumbers tape. Off to a good start!
Head sink drain
Plumbed in head sink to seacock.
Galley sink drain
Spliced in a Y joint into the drain line and connected galley sink to it. Royal pain
First set of tiles is ready!
The first set of custom tiles is ready: a lighthouse, seashell, starfish, marlin, mermaid reading a book, seagulls, and a horse running through water.
Installed galley table
Deck shower / city water inlet / galley faucet
Ran the plumbing for deck shower, city water inlet, and galley faucet. Getting close to the testing/debugging phase.
Head wired in
Finally, chainplate covers!
It’s been years since the chainplates were put in place and all these years I’ve been missing the chainplate covers. Things started leaking so I couldn’t wait any longer. These were hard to find as the chainplates are pretty massive: 2.5″ x 0.25″ in profile. I finally found a pair at Hansen Rigging!
