First toilet flush test

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!

Starting work on the fresh water system

Designed the fresh water system with a few key components:

  • 25 Gal water tank (existing) with deck fill, vent
    • Water level sensor & gauge (12V)
    • Main shutoff valve
  • Water pump with strainer & silencing hoses (12V)
  • Accumulation tank
  • 6 gal water heater (A/C)
  • Inline water purifier / filter
  • 2 sinks & faucets: galley and head
  • Electric marine toilet (12V)
  • City water inlet with pressure regulator and a check valve to separate it from pump-based circuit
  • Deck shower

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.

Wired in few cabin lights

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.
