1971 Newport 30 Sailboat
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.
Got a few more components mounted. Faucet and its future connections, water filter/purifier, and pump with strainer & silencing hoses.
Constructed a new shelf for the water heater and did a quick dry fit.
Designed the fresh water system with a few key components:
The goal is to get most of this under the head sink so the space will be pretty tight and new shelf would need to be built to support the water heater. Will be super fun to get that all installed, connected, and working.
Well, today was the day that my Raymarine instruments were finally working. It’s hard to believe that I ordered that set in April of 2014, installed it in 2018, and connected it all together just 8 short years later – TODAY!!! For 4 years, that masttop spinner was measuring wind speed for no reason at all and just today it was finally shown on the display.
Added a few additional 15A toggles to the DC panel and used one of them to wire in several of the interior cabin lights. One went up over chart table and another in the galley. The lights were from Amazon and ended up looking pretty cool – with a white/red toggle, long flexible neck, and a USB outlet in the base.
