Well I would have been in the water by now under normal circumstances but with the horrible weather I am about a week away from splashdown. The only things left to install are the radar, which is now on hold till I get a wedge from BOE, the vhf antenna and a pair of rodholders. Hopefully they will be able to paint the bottom later this week when we are supposed to hit close to 60 degrees.
I will post plenty of pictures of the install, but waiting for everything to be completed and cleaned up before I start. The pump for the autopilot he was able to install in back of the starboard side seat. He also made up a couple of cleats out of starboard so that the pump will be raised one inch off the deck. He also made a pair of wedges for the outrigger bases which were installed this morning.
Last night I registered all the electronics with Garmin and then proceeded to do a 2 hour update download for my 1040xs. I will perform the long update before installing all my waypoints etc.
The anticipation is killing me..............I got a little light in the loafers today when I saw the outrigger bases, it made me think of killing tuna in about 2 more months!
Here is a teaser of the transducer hole :mrgreen:
