Plumbed in head sink to seacock.
Head sink drain
Seacocks and thru-hulls
Backing plates
With no access to CNC due to TechShop closure, today was the day of going back to the roots and making backing plates with hand-held tools. Took forever but turned out great!
In parallel, continued to do surface prep on topsides and started taking gelcoat off the cabin top in prep for new fiberglass layer.
Finally, drilled out and dry-fitted transom thru-halls. The exhaust hole will have to be glassed over – electric engines are zero emissions 🙂
While I was slicing and dicing, Nadya sorted through old hardware and rounded it up for a trip to Duke’s Chandlery.
Getting ready for seacocks
Fighting with CNC
Was ready to make test backing plates for Marelon seacocks this morning. Spent several hours trying to make CNC ShopBot Alpha at SF TechShop cooperate with my tool paths from Fusion360. No luck so far – will have to troubleshoot some other day.
