Day 113, 11/11, Preparing for varnishing interior in main cabin 10 hours.

-

 Interior

Main cabin

Patched all finish nails marks, and sanded trim.

Cleaned over-paint on edges between painted area  and wood intended to be varnished.

Put masking tape and freezer paper everywhere to protect other surfaces. Sure outlets and electrical panel will be removed on time of varnishing.




 



Nav table

Installed link to display door to prevent screen to hit desk.

Screw wall supporting nav table To desk and inliner.

 Front cabin 

Made prep work for glassing  small knee to mount plate covering hull over cabinet in front cabin. (no picture)

Couple more problems need to be addressed.  :-(

1) Found fix windows leaking again. looks like it will be infinite fight if i do not change the design. 

2) Small leak in toilet ceiling on the bolt holding cabin top handles. Tighten the bolt, likely it will fix this leak, if not... will need to open ceiling panels and redo all handles bedding.

3) Still see some water collecting in bilge after rains, however in  living all around in dry. suspecting chain locker or cockpit area.

4) Old wooden hatches drip leaking if rainy, and definitely will make waterfall if wave will run over deck, so a decided to replace them with real hatches :) - will be Low Profile Extruded Hatch, 17-3/8" Square, Silver Frame & Smoke Lens

Engine Take engine from the boat and move to home garage. Easy to say, hard to do. Water level in the lake now is 40ft below normal level. And total height drop between parking lot and docks about 70-80ft.  Marina has no lift, ramp or crane to move something more than 200 lb up way. Only way is very long stairs with 140 steps.   View form the parking lot...    Staircase we climbed up. Yes, you can see the lift, but it is only 200lb capacity and no way to use. Picture was made on the middle of the process. Based on engine spec it has to weight 400 lb. It is a lot but should be more or less bearable weight for 3-4 people. Challenge was accepted, but looks like it is heavy enough to do a problem ;-) Moving from boat to dock was very easy, just hook chain hoist to boom lift it  and swing boom to the dock. put on a dolly and roll it to staircase. After an hour of planning we (My son and I) decided to use blocks and ropes to slide it up. We mounted engine on the plywo...

 Deck Spent a day to wipe all to clean, then de-greaser, then solvent, and then priming.  Surface area is not too big, but still be ~400 sq.ft.    I did wiping and cabin top at one day, cockpit and area next to toe rails in second one. Primed only area plan to paint glossy. non-skid paint does not require priming, just washing with detergent, but it will be later.  Observed two problems  first - rolling and tipping leaving brush marks  even when 25% solvent added. Second - (actually helps to maintain first) I need second layer because  one layer of primekote does not covering well. So, I plan one more gallon of primer and one mode day to of sanding and one more day of priming.   End of day1     End of day 2
