Putting a crimp in my style
As part if the ongoing marine sanitation device installation I’ve been working on, I have some new wiring to do. Up until now I’ve been getting by with my barely adequate Klein crimpers.
Finally, a cheap project
Don’t worry, I’m still working in the installation of our new MSD. Work (the kind that pays me money) has been busy, so I’m sorta’ doing boat things on the weekends. The other day on my way home I stopped at Lowe’s and saw these hanging next to the check out line…
Wye not?
Happy New Year!! A few parts I needed showed up in the mail this week so I spent a little time working on the Electro Scan wastewater treatment system.
Two tears in a bucket
So while I wait on the Big Brown Truck to deliver a few more parts I need in order to finish installing the new Electro Scan treatment unit, I thought I’d build the salt injection tank system…

Oh yeah, about that bowsprit…(bowsprit part 2)
Remember back in March when I was telling you about how we glued up a new bowsprit? I mentioned the sprit again in June when we received all our bronze rigging hardware. Unfortunately, I never really wrote about how it went from a 9 foot long 6X6 hunk of timber to an expertly crafted and beautifully […]
Intergrip non skid
Yeah, yeah. I know it’s been a while since I last posted. Writing about boat projects has sort of taken a back seat to actually doing boat projects.
My Favorite Stripper
This weekend I finally started working on stripping the coachroof paint. Back at the beginning of Spring, I scraped off the top layer of paint. It seriously took me only a couple of hours because the paint was such shit.
