Day 89. 5/6/23, 15" nav screen, Galley base rebuild, 10 hours


Navigation

Removing leaking window port and prepare bed for new 15" 600-800 nits touchscreen.

It will work in parallel of main nav station, secondary screen (7" 1200 nits) will be on nav pod (maybe another raspberry, but not sure) 

Pulled port out, it was no watertight at all, as soon as i took screws it fall out from hole. Cabin wall is not flat. To be able to install screen I would need to make flat surface from the cabin side. I put thickened epoxy and compressed with 3/4" MDF plate wrapped in freezer paper.

External view

After plate removed I see couple wrinkles. However i think they should not be a problem to adhere screen to place.

Hole is temporary closed with PVC masking tape to prevent water ingress.

Internal rectangle - display  frame.

Display opening will be cut by template in cabin plastic. Window opening will be enlarged about  2.5". I do not anticipate issues with structural integrity.


Galley 

Decided to redo galley front side. there will be new drawers frame and shelf area on the left side.

All mounting was very unstable. I took walls out and then reinstalled 3 back panes on glue and new screws.

Plan is to replace front panels and make new set of drawers. Original are very small and not practical at all.

Before demo.
