Sorry to keep posting pics of my new purchase but I wonder if anyone might know what the phone is that's on the bulkhead wall it's got me stumped!
Could be but I doubt it. It's most properly intcom to the cockpit that's a joke. I will move it and it could be a space I will hang my babies on!
What did I do to my Boat
Primed my hatch cover and waited and waited for my epoxy to dry on the Instrument pod once the Hatch cover has hardened up Ill sand the primer down and see if its ready for a second coat. its really thick primer
Ive epoxied the back on the Instrument pod and waiting for it to dry tomorrow Ill attend to the ends
cheapo speakers first Yes Ill eventually buy new instruments
I think this will be it
I am thinking of removing the ends Ive epoxied on there and utilizing some curved pieces I have here I think it will look a little better and keep it out of trash and move permanently into treasure.
Ill place a start stop button in there maybe my engine gages Ill make a weather and theft proof cover so it preserves the gages . Well do my best but I guess if some one uses a crow bar Ill loose whats inside but Ill know about it as soon as there on board
Hi HG
At one stage you were looking at a multi information screen
Is this still in the plans
Also have you decided if the mizzen is staying
Regards Don
HI Donk
Yes eventually I will use a multi screen .
Well I took the hatch cover and trhe Pod I made down to the boat and Im not sure it it will fit in as far as visually speaking goes I can reduce its height by maybe 25 mm and perhap radius the front panel it would reduce its capacity
Rememberingit will have either a spray dodger or a home made windscreen
if id put some under coat on it ity might not stand out like dog testicles
So at the moment its either trash or treasure Ill think on it for while see what happens . Ill back to sanding and painting the hatch cover so Ill chew the fat for a while on the pod and its shape
rear view I don't mind its the front(meaning look from the bow back) that has me wondering still .
Might try changing the radius on the back of the pod and see how it looks.. You would not see it with a spray dodger I guess
@ HGO2............Yachts have an inherent acoustic quality which obviates any need for on deck speakers unless you want to ping your neighbours off.
I had a pair of el cheapo box speakers screwed to a timber batten that I could tie up to the boom or wherever for party nights. Noise carries over water at night so in a popular anchorage you will be sure to get complaints no matter what brand of music you play.
That being said, if I decide I want to listen to the five Beethoven Piano Concerti and the neighbours prefer Eminem, they can get nicked.
The point of my post here of course is that you do not need to put that console over your companionway to accommodate speakers.
So that is one reason less to do it. What else have you got??
I have a pair of bookshelf 3 way bass reflex speakers in the main cabin, $10 from the Salvos. Sounds good even when I'm under the boat using the hookah.
