Still plugging along. Have been chipping away at completing all bottom tasks before I am able to paint the barrier coats and bottom paint.
Spent a few days getting all of the undewater valves and thru hulls for the engines serviced and completed, ready for installation. I modified the strainers so that they can be removed for cleaning without hauling the boat (no holes through the bottom) so I can have a diver remove for cleaning if I desire.
All new thru hulls, backing plates and a combination of Groco and Buck Algonquin plumbing for the other two thru hulls, salt water wash down and black tank discharge.
Remaining thru hulls are the 3in1 NMEA sensor and the fish finder transducer, putting me at 6 holes under the water line total. All of the other ones were glassed over.
Prepped my oil drain/fill solution for the port engine.
Have been going through the electrical panel and cleaning up wiring, removing old unused circuits, pulling old unused wires, making sure all circuits are properly fused, and decided replace the old burnt out incandescent bulbs in the panel surround with something more modern.
Sea strainers have been overhauled with new seals throughout. I left the patina on them, didn't see the point of making them shiny.
Everything requires a lot of time to complete!
