050325 frustrating day

 a busy day as Clwb Hwylio Aberystwyth Boat Club is being formed so had to be at the boat for 1pm to meet Tom to discuss our plans.

when i arrived i couldn't open the lock despite it all spinning nice , so i had to break the lock retaining clip.

never mind a few rivits job done

task 2 was check my wood template was correct for switch box   was it hell  way too small

so in the end i put a piece on the side and waited for that to cure then i can fix the panel to it and custom do the rest.

then i did the rest of my blocks around the window this went better 

next task was to use the 5 way wagos the way the wiring was done initially i removed alot but it all still seems long , i then tested each switch and nothing worked , so after tracing and starting again and tidying i add each circuit on separate. this worked 

so now they are labelled as well, also added the led light above on  the cabin roof , opposed to it being on the side , i cant move my solar controllers until the window is done 

Launch date planned

 well the best time to officially launch is On the highest tide which coinincides with a few things

as long as the boat can sail and the motor works and mooring setup anything else is in material 

need 4m to get it to its mooring 

wago 221 5 way

 should have bought these much sooner to make things easier and tidier

Another sunny day 2nd March 2025

 well the weather was forecast good again and it was, off to the boat by 0845 to watch the highest tide so far  5.61m at 0915 

first job is always unload all the boxs from car, then make oxo drink

then wonder what thew hell im doing today.

plan was do the bilge pump, so it was tested and worked, then it was positioned and zipped tied in place and bigger duty cable run to cockpit , this was made off ready 

next was to further tidy the electrics , this will be an ongoing process to the point its installed withing the cabin unit and switch board.

then talking of switchboard i got the one i purchased a year ago and decided how to wire it up , yes more wiring alterations 

1. the trip log and depth and new wind all on one switch
2. so far the nav lights front and rear are on a switch together the mast will be added in latter,
3. bilge pump on its own 
4. vacant 
5. vacant 

these were all tested and pleased its now easier to know whats what

next up was see how the shape of the cabinet might look so started to take angles 

time was getting on so called it a day at 2pm 

G3 at high tide

new 5 swich panel trying to be installed
