the boat has 3 nasa target 2 instruments none of which were wired up to show working
after cutting away all the connectors and crimps and tieded to a suitable lenght i googled what the colours were to make sure
Red - +12v
Black - 0v
Green - Alarm negative (alarm positive goes to Red on the terminal block, yes it's an external unit, any low current 12v buzzer should be fine)
Orange - Backlight power (optional)
so now i can wire them up safely

parked up in the gap with notice on windscreen
arrived at Bala in a good time roads were quite
loading was a bit of an art
we had the jockey wheel too high so lowered it right down in the end
we moved the ramp to centre to get the jockey wheel up on deck then moved it back to get the rear wheels up, it was touch and go width wise.

well today the harbour mooring started
transport was arranged back in july and was ok with guy to do
however in the last few days he never answered his phone to give me a meet time
i went up regardless as i have a nother plan,
at the club for 9am and i made measurements of how the trailer was for lenght
this was relayed back to Tudor and agreed it was ok to go on flatbed truck
i rerang the recovery truck still no reply
i set about finding the wiring and first off was the speed and trip log , this was easy and that led me to remove any other wiring, im not using a big 12v lead acid battery or all the connection and switches that were on the boat
most were removed wires cut back ready and anyother wiring removed
the Switch panel also removed and all nav instrument wiring tidied or removeed
my system is to use small 12h 7ah batterys and remove them if they need full recharge
i have a solar panel and controller that i will wire up to charge the banks
then a few measurements of the area to be paneled for this to be all housed
then the instruments in the cockpit all trial and error
plenty to get on with , but better when back in aberystwyth
hopefully sunday will be move day

hopefully be gone by the 1st Nov
after seeing the picture of the cockpit covered in leaves and water today i went upto BaLA and met with "Sailing with Dave"
an early start 0630 frost on the ground and -1 the other side of Corris
lake was shorouded in mist till just before 11am
plans altered slightly because it was so cold we didnt go on the green rib to be safety for daves mirror repair test
as his bearing was playing up so he turned around and came on his own
aftera long catch up about boats we strapped the boat down then started cleaning
what a difference it made
Dave had a good scout around the baot as well as hes hunting for a cabin cruiser for sea sailing as well
after a few chinwags and enjoying the sun dave headed home and i finished off bimbling around with mr elbow grease to make Aguila clean
still some todo but that can be done next time
hopefully sort this week
