Made a custom cover for the wires running to the mast along the bulkhead in the head. They were bugging me for quite some time. Nice clean look now. Just did a dry-fit for now, will stain and finish the teak later.
Conduit for mast wires
Headliner for the head
Organized wires and installed headliner in the head. Looks so much cleaner.
Secured head items
Made a few teak blocks with 3″, 4″, and 5″ curves to properly secure head fixtures.
My previous mounting method that used magnets at the bottom of these didn’t pan out. They weren’t secure enough, especially underway. This new approach is much more secure and gets them more out of the way.
Added floor liner for head
Pretty basic improvement but feels so much better on bare feet than cold fiberglass. Looks OK as well.
Air ducts for dehumidifier
Ran ducts and installed intake vents in the v-birth, head, and saloon. Not the best material for marine environment but I figured with humidity and temp stabilized these will be good to test out the system and will last a few years.
Trimmed head door and dry fit lock
After I rebuilt all the panels, I haven’t yet tried to put the door back. Surely, it did not fit. Had to trim both sides of the door and make a small lip to hide the hinge. I was also lucky to find the original door handle and lock, which I installed into the new slimmer door. Will need to hide old hole with some small teak bangs.
New head sink light
New outlet / head
My friend Viktar helped wire in a new outlet.
Toilet paper holder
Installed toilet paper holder into the front panel.
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!
