Post Christmas update

I found my missing Groco head on Christmas Day while cleaning out a locker.  While it was rebuilt not that long ago I decided to rebuild it again and ordered the parts today.

My friend Sven had offered to help install my reconditioned Inverter Charger.  He had time on Xmas day, so I met him in the morning.  I rewired the cross-over switch--not needed because I have two Isolation Transformers, and I rewired the AC panel to split it into two independent sides.  The second side will run future shore powered Air Conditioners.  Sven installed a rail system that makes servicing the inverter easier.   I am not sure if this is what I want in the long run, I may need to switch the two sides at some point if I want to run European power when I travel to Europe.  Nothing I need to worry about now.  I will need another two more meters to monitor voltage and amperage on the second panel.

My new starter is installed.  I would like to have the spare rebuilt but can't seem to find someone to do that for me.  At least I have a spare solinoid.  There is a oil return line, part pipe/part hose that passes close to the starter. It was almost impossible to remove the starter without disconnecting this.  I don't think the lower of the two brackets is necessary, so I plan to lop it off, which will make future service easier.

My Force 10 Stove is mounted but not yet plumbed.  The gas disconnect is not yet wired.  I am waiting until I built a ladder and mount in the cockpit for the propane tanks to finish this off.  That will take some careful measuring to design this.

I have a comfortable dry bed in the V-berth now.  I still need to wire a sub panel forward to provide power for lights and fans in the V-berth, forward head, and forward locker.
