^ My though too!

I would have robbed it but he still hasn't got it! Plus he is using twin and I went for single strand. Must say, I'm impressed with the adhesive lined heat shrink, creates a nice seal over soldered joins. Also, the heat shrink adhesive crimp spade connectors work well too. I've got as far as all but the lights under the console wired this morning (interrupted by visit to Kayak classic at Swanage) just the under seat wiring to go - structure scan, sound system, bilge pump negative & bait well pump. Just the fuel line to finish (check valve and new bulb & connectors). The ready for Dartmouth next week (no sharking though, too early this year).

Ready for inspection tomorrow? See you then.

Yes, tinned all the way Terry!

So, I have measured carefully and made up all the power leads, let's hope I measured correctly!

I think the lure is your imagination! I think you need yellow barrels, wire line and tie it off to one of those coffee grinder things on Frisky It is intriguing though, has to be a common skate or similar surely! So, big hook, and a bit if wire, 10ft of 500lb rubbing leader, 2 or 3 maccky whipped on, then hope for the best. But you know if you drop that down, it'll take your bream rig!!!!

Top Dangler!

Calm down ladies, we can all be friends!

And I was going to offer to get there early for a bit of tinkering before anyone would notice!

Great mate! Any joy with the switch panel? Can we sneak an hour in on Sunday!!!!?!?!?

I'm excited, you must be insufferable !

I did ask tony, but he still isn't!! R

Tidy job buddy! Hope the flowcoat, flowed better than last time!!!! [emoji2]

Enjoy! Get those boats out!!!

^ Bloody Hell it's the Rozzers!

Today I have been working on the new logo for JV:

Another 12 hr day at chez Franklin for me today. There was a lot of discussing, more discussing, measuring and the we bloody went for it!!! It does seem a shame to break up the veneer with some instruments, but I guess they all go towards making her a great fishing platform! We cut many a hole, slot, opening, drilled holes and even some floaty gel coat white stuff done (I would have missed the smell if we hadn't!). It is looking great and some changes to original plans were made but I'm pleased and it's not even mine!!! Action: Now, post paella, a beer!

3 now Stuie!!

Weigh it in perhaps!

Ok, so I'm fitting a Lowrance sound hub - radio, MP3 noise maker to JoJo. I chose this as JoJo has limited space (some what) and the soundhub is all tucked away and controlled from the plotter. Anyway, I thought I'd bench test it before install to see if I was to keep the speakers supplied in the kit etc. So, connected it up, power to this power to that - dead! Called the supplier, they said I had tested all they would expect and to perhaps call Navico and ask. So I did, we went though everything (nearly) and all seemed ok. They suggested I sent them the unit. But as based in Romsey, I could pop it in. As I was collecting materials for JV out that way I did. I was offered a drink and to sit and wait whilst the tech fired it up on his rig. All ok! Bu99er! We at least the issue was eliminating the new unit! So, I also found out, if the nmea2000 network must be powered and until the unit is seen by a plotter etc, the power light won't light up!! So back home I did some reading and found that the NMEA network is powered independently on the HDS units and not as a pass through as per my boat. So in conclusion, it is now working, and now I need to install it! I got it up and running with a bit of fudging on the bench. I thought if I post this, someone struggling can use google and hopefully find it useful! That is all! Rob

Careful Charlie! Adam didn't inspire me, just delayed me by several months!!! Though, I had delayed myself by a couple due to the ruddy cold weather! Yes, waterproof, has a seal all the way round and clear lid. The back just has the blades sticking out. I'm making a bus for the back.

I am splitting the power distribution, with one fuse box under the centre console and the keeping the other under seat one. New: Nice thing about this is that when a fuse blows, the led next to it illuminates!!!

Well, all this helping on JV has made me neglect JoJo. Serviced a few weeks ago before the "Turbo Time" on the Shambles and I also had fitted a water separator due to these rumours of water in fuel due to ethanol content. It was the ideal time as the bulb on the fuel line was failing. New rod holders too on the stern: I had been planning a rewire for a while and measured this and that and bought the bits. Was going to make a loom then install, but I am now just getting in with it! Cutting the old: Remove underseat fuse box:

I'll bring the hole saws!!
