Vira - Sailboat rebuild, Irwin Citation 34

Interior  Made and installed cover over the back side of the cockpit display. Made from tinned acrylic, and black painted on the back. Looks good? I can use it as mirror :-)   Also added, small plate below the countertop. It covers hole where LPG power switch was installed. Now it is on the main panel.   Lockers Installed handles to my locker doors. Little bit not in color, but shape is what i need.    Navigation table Added display control buttons. 3D printed parts. Electrical As I wrote before all wiring on my boat was original, made using bare copper stranded, wire, but 7 strands wire, and I replaced  all wiring after switch/breaker box to meet modern UL 1426 standard. High flexible stranded tinned copped wire. For some time I left "battery" side wires "as is". So, now time is come.  Spent 3 days to make new high current wiring. First day disassemble ond wiring, second gay inspect engine wiring, and started new wiring assembly , third - finishing ,...

Interior  Companionway steps refinished, new teak mounting blocks cut and finished. Engine room access door (over the steps) completely rebuilt.  Small Lexan 0.25" thich door to "inverter compartment" added   Deck Hatches, how small project to couple hours may quickly grow to midsize one. I decided to replace ugly looking, leaking and in general bad constructed, as well jib sheet catchers original hatches with new low profile aluminum ones.   Original one.   In the Irwin owners forum one guy recommended these and tell he installed them on IC34. Maybe he has different IC34 than me, but ... link to hatch Low Profile Extruded Hatch, 17-3/8" Square, Silver Frame & Smoke Lens I spent to source them almost 3 months. go2marine.com shipped one and back-ordered second one and it took a lot of time to get it. Ok, I get them, bought 4000UV and butil tape to seal. and.... I found the round does not fit in square well. Opening in the deck is square, hatch frame has round...

 Electrical, and small things. Picture of the day :-) Open plotter runs on installed hardware. Inside electronics compartment What was done? Installed Raspberry box power.  Installed Raspberry box. Tested (unsuccessfully) IMU (looks like connection was bad). Routed wires from pedestal to nav table Added Resistor boards to maintain lower brightness on indication LEDs on main switch box . Connected remote control to deck lights. Installed "secondary" GPS. Found place for it to work through deck (single layer deck part).  Checked dual screen configuration, looks like I will need to add HDMI splitter to make effortless display mirroring between cockpit and nav table. Cockpit display and Raspberry cross powering each other over HDMI. Issue will be fixed with splitter. Ran engine to check idle speed and Full throttle RPM. Measured Idle - 850 RPM, Full (but not full) throttle 2800 RPM. Engine runs stable but pretty strong white smoke. Need to confirm how it smells (oil or water)...

 New year, New official :) pictures. Galley Drawer under cockpit settee (starboard) Irwin boat has strange hard to use cavity accessed from galley located under cockpit settee. It is strange, because has any barrier to prevent stuff from rolling out of there right to stove surface. Original design: Who has IC34 Know this place. So I made made a drawer there to be able to keep stuff  from rolling out and also to be able to keep it in order.  It appeared pretty big size. ~20"x16"    Due to no straight walls around to put rails to keep it on place I had to invent some way. So, I put drawer on roller blades wheels and they just run over countertop. To prevent side movent I put  stainless full extending rails. Here is other challenge, I need to extend drawer about 1.5 length of it to have good access to it.  So, I connected two rails together to keep it on straight path and prevent from sliding side by side Electrical Nav table Electrical panel, Water tanks...
