So, after determining that both engine's rigging and the steering hoses would fit in the rigging sleeve...



Here's what I have come up with, albeit all totally temporary pending approval...and new rigging sleeving...,







Keep in mind, no primer bulbs in the pick as that involves cutting fuel lines, and I don't think we're ready to do that yet.

This ain't gonna be easy, especially getting the holes cut in the sleeving for each break-out point.  And I STILL don't like poking holes in that pretty transom.  Had to drill 2 today (don't worry, c'sunk, no gel chipping) to secure the rigging and give it the "look" I wanted...

Bob, it looks excellent, very nice job!
Scott must be so happy.

[seabob4]

Great job Bob!  Why not put the bulbs in the same place you had them on the first rigging attempt?  

Scotty, the tortoise is approaching the finish line.  

That will be up to Scott, Nando.  You, like I, prefer them in easy reach, in other words, exposed.  Some like the cleaner look and want them below decks, or, in Scott's case, in the starboard box.  He'll make the call on that one...

Now, off to order some 2" rigging sleeving.  That Frenchie in Quebec is gonna love this!  The reason I buy from him is that he sells it by the foot.  All the sites I have looked at that carry the T-H rigging sleeving (not the zippered sleeve) only sell it in 50' spools.  This will probably be the only boat that I rig that will use that.  What the hell am I gonna do with the other 42'?  

[seabob4]

Ha!  I found the T-H FLX-200 at Great Lakes Skipper, $14.95 for a 10' piece...EXCELLENT!!!

Bob, want to reiterate how pleased we all are with your engine rigging job today

Yep, since I can choose without ABYC considerations...gonna go with the primer bulbs close together in the box. I'm left handed, will be a piece of cake to reach in and pump them before each trip.

Went by Best Buy tonight and listened to speakers. The Bose 151 Environmentals....are a POS. NO bass at all, and the highs, where you'd expect Bose to shine...are hollow and tinny.

I do have some ideas. Same footprint. I'll holler. Back to "family night"

[seabob4]

Scott, you need not fear the ABYC police coming after you, the bulbs are perfectly within "recommendations" inside the box.

Just a little reminder to all.  CG regulations, per CFR 33.whatever, are what you NEED to adhere to.  ABYC?  Simply strongly urged recommendations.  I try to adhere to them because that's the world I come from...

[seabob4]

Think this would work guys?



Basically $500 for the nights of the 5th and the 6th of April...or we can just do one night.  Made an inquirey, it's open for those dates.  Here's the details...http://www.vrbo.com/436885

It's in a development called Hernando Beach South, just S of main Hernando Beach (like a mile), about 8 minutes down Shoal Line from Bayport, and has a dock and Gulf Access...

I contacted the owners, will probably hear something tomorrow...

I know the neighborhood VERY well.  And there is one of my favorite Publix's not even 10 minutes away...subs and...FRIED CHICKEN!!!

[dburr]

Clean, simple, uncluttered.  This fits Miss D to a T.....

Perfect

Hey Lew!! Hot Tub  :bounce:

[seabob4]

Getting to the point in the game where there are no real break through, "hey, look Ma, that's done!" type of pics, but none the less, played a little today.  Electronics are permanantly installed and wired...





Figured, while I was in there, may as well do the battery trays and terminate the cables...



Now this pic may not appear to be much to any of you...



What it shows is what is left coming out of the rigging chase up into the console that has yet to be hooked up.  The shift/throttle cables and the steering lines.  Exactly what I used to have at the end of wiring an Osprey console way back when 16-17 years ago at WC/Aquasport.  Guess some old habits and processes stay with you for a while.  If I had all the parts, the console would be done.  But, shortly I will, and shortly after that, the console WILL be done...

Looks really nice SB!

Picked up the switch panel today....finally. Bozos around here had cut it wrong...twice. One shop blamed the other, other shop blamed them. So the victim had to pay twice. That quote we got...was cheap compared to what they hooked me for. Reminds me of two divorce clawyers sending letters to each other.

Expect my NC Numbers in tomorrow

[Gonzo25]

Looks nice man...i might have to make the drive to see the first splash...short drive for me...if Eugene finishes my seacraft in time, I may take it...jk Eugene...please don't rush!

[seabob4]

Scott, can you get a pic of that panel?  I'm a bit nervous about the switch cutouts...since they couldn't seem to get much right, and they were a "bit" unfamiliar with Carling Contura switches.  Just an industry standard, you know.  Make sure the switch cutouts are 13/16" W X 1 3/8" H...

[gran398]

Come on, that would be great!

Shortpants may be coming too

What kind of Seacraft? They're all sweet....

[gran398]

Uh..no.

They are 15/16th's W by 1 11/16th's H

[seabob4]

Uh..no.

They are 15/16th's W by 1 11/16th's H

Are these people brain dead??!!  Call me bud...
