Just about done with the winter projects. Since we were leaving so much at "O Dark Thirty" this year I wanted to install a Spot light on the bow of the boat but make it removable. So I broke out some left over Starboard and went to work on designing a removable mount for a ACR RCL-75 spotlight. "By the way BOE has them at a great price right now."
Then I ran the power wires and radar cable for the new radar scanner then mounted the radar mount Harbor Welding in Wanchese made for the boat. Now I just have to mount the scanner as soon as it gets here. I also took the plastic collars off the outriggers and put some of the new Aluminum one on from Rupp as well as re-rigging the outriggers.
And last but not least Brown at Fin-Addict Marine cut me a new Starboard panel for under under the t-top. Its been a busy few weeks and I am almost done!!
Here are a few photos.. Mark
This is the spotlight mount base which is through bolted. I made a T slot so the light and the cover could slide in from the back. I put disconnects in the anchor locker so all you have to do is open the locker and plug in the light. I also fiber glassed the hole that goes into the anchor locker.
This is a photo of the base with the slide in cover:
And a few photos with the light mounted on the base:
A photo of the remote location:
A few photos of the new radar mount. I had them put a 5 degree angle on it while they were making the mount. I also had to redo the mast for the all around white Nav light it was two short so I tore it apart and made it taller and it now folds down for travel. It is two feet now before it was 6".
And a few photos of the new starboard panel for under the T-Top:
