1971 Newport 30 Sailboat
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!
Plumbed in head sink to seacock.
Spliced in a Y joint into the drain line and connected galley sink to it. Royal pain
The first set of custom tiles is ready: a lighthouse, seashell, starfish, marlin, mermaid reading a book, seagulls, and a horse running through water.
Ran the plumbing for deck shower, city water inlet, and galley faucet. Getting close to the testing/debugging phase.
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!
With help from my friend Viktra, the fireplace was wired to DC so that blower works and the propane hose was connected. Can’t wait to test it out.
Installed water level sensor and bibs for fill and vent hoses on the water tank. Also updated the outflow hose and added a shutoff valve. Connected the fill hose to deck fill and installed the vent hose loop but haven’t yet attached to the tank (waiting for sealant to set).
Also installed the water level gauge. Not wired in yet.
