Continuing to move forward with the instruments plan. Installed a backing board and painted it with basic white bilge paint. Then mounted all the connectors for both the N2K and SeaTalk buses. Started hooking things up and organizing the cabling. Getting there.
In preparation to testing the effectiveness of the new dehumidifier, I want to baseline indoor humidity and temperature in the cabin. Following the plan, I installed the combo sensor from Yacht Devices in the saloon and wired it into the SeaTalk NG bus.
Continuing to put electronics in place. Removed the dummy plug and installed the actual speed+depth+water temp sensor.
And installed exterior temperature probe into puka.
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.
