Hi Joe, it goes to the back of the ISSPRO Ammeter. I've followed these wiring instructions:

There is a much better way - search for voltmeter threads

A beautiful day yesterday here on the Chesapeake. Almost got up to 80!

Spent the day on the boat beginning in ernest a long overdue project to rip up and replace the rotted teak/holly veneer plywood sole in the cabin.

As you can see from the second photo, some of it was rotted way beyond any hope of refinishing!

The AIS works

I am the only Coquina in the entire world ever seen on AIS. In contrast there are 22 pages of "Serenity".

Joe, Is that a C&C? If it is, I may need a tour. The project boat I am trying to rebuild is a C&C 30, and I have no idea of how some of it is supposed to go together.

Coquina is a C&C 35 MK I. The 30 MK I is her little sister - very similar construction.

Been there, done that. What are you replacing it with? I wish I had gone with NuTeak or one of the other synthetics.

I think Neil mentioned a synthetic replacement many posts ago which struck me as much preferred for a cabin sole.

Yes I did, Lonseal. It's a high quality material but sickeningly expensive. Here is the cabin sole I replaced with it on an Ericson 26. The second picture is for camparison, a real 8/4 edge grain teak cabin sole I did in my Westsail.

winter projects and repair

I've been working on a teak anchor pulpit for our triton. I'll post pictures when I have it installed.

over the last few days, winds have been very strong, 50+ and waves and tide have banged my stainless rub rail on the port side. Today I witnessed the lowest low tide at the marina in my 10 years being down here. When I get hauled out, the rub rails on both sides and transom will have to be re-installed, and topside will have to be repainted. I'll also be able to put a bootstripe on.

Blow-out tide

Right now, the water in Langford Creek is the lowest I've seen in the 18 years we've lived here, and low tide is an hour away.

The winds have subsided from yesterday's gusts in the 60's out of the NW.

The first underway test of the AIS was a success I ran into two minor issues, the first one being the choke cable seems to have frozen up since the last time I ran the engine. It took all my strength to pull it out. The second issue is the CP180 GPS plotter in the cockpit does not seem to apply any common sense to CPA alarms. I was getting alarms for violating 0.5 miles CPA because I was aimed at anchored ships 5 miles away on the other side of Kent Island OpenCPN adds in a time function too. I'll have to see if I can set something to only warn me 10 minutes out.
BTW - AIS source 4167 is me. (https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais...a249c3c2c5be1d)
I got marine traffic to send me a receiving station. This is fun to have at the house and free if you can cover an area they are interested in.

Hard lesson

I had secured the forward portion of my lowered mast to the pulpit on our Triton nearly three months ago, but had not properly secured the rear portion to the pushpit. no biggie until about a week ago or whenever the big blow came through Bivalve. By the kindness of a stranger and the heroic manager of our boatyard checking boats in the 60+ winds, they properly secured both ends of the mast and Friday the boat was hauled out to be set on stands at the yard in Tyaskin-- minus nearly all of the pieces of the jumper strut. It was all torn away by the piling it rammed. I can rebuild it.

I get to use my MIG to weld stainless now that Hannah Elizabeth is on the hard. I have to rebuild sections of the stainless steel rub rail bent and broken by the wind, and then try my hand at a mast tabernacle.

James, have you talked with your insurance carrier?

A couple of years ago we had a freak 70 MPH wind blow through our marina that caused its share of damage. My genny partially unfurled and it was shredded, masthead VHF antenna and windpoint were launched into orbit. I was at my insurance carrier's office on another matter and asked about my watercraft policy's coverage. The agent didn't know but said to file a claim and it will be determined through that process. To my great surprise it was not excluded therefore was covered.

Thank you AAA for a brand new genny for the cost of my $500 deductible. In my boating history I've had a variety of insurance carriers. Every aspect of dealing with AAA has been three levels above the rest, a complete pleasure. I encourage everyone to give them a look.

I guess this is more a spring project...

Got down to the boat after work, put the coil wire back on, opened the fuel petcock, opened the thru hull and turned the key. 15 seconds later she fired up, belched a little MMO and settled right in to a steady idle. Oil pressure came up but I didn't have time to let the temp come up to normal.
I love this little motor. Next comes spring cleaning and de-winterizing the rest of the boat. Sailing season is almost here!

Nice John! I am hoping to re-install sails and fire the boat up this weekend! I also bought a pile of stuff from Defender during their warehouse sale, so now I have a shiny new Manson Boss and a anchor roller I need to mount to hold the anchor..
Got a few other goodies too...some of them might require cutting up fiberglass.
