During the evening the webcam went offline, so a mad dash to the boatpark, it was still there but the mmpt controller and mifi was looking abit lacking of power.
had taken a spare batt just incase , at first the batt seemed ok abut when connected was not, with no solar and mifi the controller was ok , so i removed everything to bring home, in the end i left the battery charging only.
maybe a mifi and the camera is troo much drain but the battery on camera showed full
i am going to resort to a bigger battery and maybe a better solar panel , at home it worked ok but no mifi added
task 2 , remove the centre column for the mast foot and plate upgrade , luckily all the screws came undone and post was removed along with the table , the wood block the tabenacle screw bolts went into wasnt glued in but enough for the bolts to recess into.
with everything removed a few measurements made of the footwell and keel housing to see how wide the oak support piece will be
6cms wide plu,s 50cms plus 6cms , so some more oak was ordered as the piece i had was only 20mm thick so laminate it to 60mm then shape to roof shape allowing for the tabernacle backing plate epoxy it all in bobs your aunt.
task 3 remove the stanchion on starbord side, no why its non removable from the safety wire due to the swagged fittings, oh well never mind
plan c epoxy it in place with jb weld , supposed to be goodand butyl tape to seal it, also removed the gaffa tape and spent ages cleaning it off .
task 4 go home ive had enough , but remembered to measure the mast width for George doing my repairs
68mm
