Day 282, Finished refrigeratior lid, Shacles puzzle, Complete cockpit measurements to model it, looking spot for solar power setup

Windlass

After 4 years I decided to replace windlass motor with brand new one.
My motor sometimes dropping power during  long hard run. I know the problem, when i repaired it i could not find right brush springs and installed what I had in hands. Very likely one of springs is loosing strength when brush at getting hot. I plan to replace springs and keep old motor as as spare.

During that work Vic found the both shackles on the anchor chain are cracked, When I have undone pins i was able to break them in half by hands. I can't imagine how i did not lost my anchor!!!!!



Replaced with Zinc galvanized. Really no sense to have stainless shackles in between galvanized anchor and galvanized chain. 

Refrigerator

Finished build a lid. Refrigerator project officially complete.
