Congratulations also to you! It sounds like Barb's suggestion was a great one.
I will be watching for what you come up with in four years to match the plumbing adventure and hope you have many more anniversaries beyond it.

I can't believe no one is demanding pictures.
Tough crowd.
Cheers!

I wish I could figure out how to add pictures to these posts, I seem to have no problem adding or editing my album section which has been a lot fun. Maybe because I am using an Android phone for everything?

That might be the issue. I am not able to do anything with pictures on this site when I use my Android (Samson) tablet.

Finally found some time today to do some wiring cleanup, added a NMEA 2000 buss, added a NMEA 2000 cable to my 90hp ETec, and installed my new Garmin 74cv chart plotter/sonar, also connected to the buss.
Pics are in my album under "Mods".
Oh, also replaced the fuel filler hoses. The previous owner had purchased them but didn't get a chance to install them before we picked up the boat. The starboard hose was leaking a bit when filling the tank. Port was ok but it got replaced too. They're both shiney new now. |

As of this September 2019 we have virtually replaced every system and added some new ones to Sierra. A little bit of original wiring is still in place. Last week we traded out our old Ranger Tugs Rocna 22 roll bar anchor for a non roll bar Rocna Vulcan 25 and changed the windlass gypsy from a 1/4 chain to a 5/16th one and changed up the chain and rode.
Today we drove up north and picked up our new Spectra Ventura 200 watermaker, soon to install for our Baja trip. |

Yesterday replaced Ray 54 VHF with a Standard Horizon GX2200 Matrix AIS with GPS White. Networked together with my Lowrance HDS-9. Now I get AIS targets on the Lowrance. Trying to keep up with Harvey on the VHF frontier

Chromer,
Don't be surprised when a very loud alarm goes off and you think the world is coming to an end. The weather alert goes off when a storm is near you and the alarm, well, is VERY alarming. When it goes off and you realize that all other systems are okay, press any key and the weather report is announced.
It is a very good radio and I too enjoy having the AIS overlay in my normal steaming area.

Nice and clean! You wouldn't imagine how much of a rats nest of wiring we have. Was the lighting for compass OEM or did you add it? I don't think ours has a light, but I'm going to looks to see if we can add this feature. How did you access the filler hoses? We may have this problem on our 25 |

Very cool, I think you can set up proximity alerts? We just installed a GX1500 but I just set up an alert for used GX2200's that a feature worth having. |

Just back from 40 days up the length of Vancouver Island on it's east side with time in the Broughtons and Discovery coast. I spent probably 24 hours in zero visibility conditions, (That would be seeing less than about 100 feet.) the combination of multiple VHF radios, active AIS - B and radar are a Godsend, and IF you are boating in the PNW, FOG will be a factor. Being able to listen on 16 and 71 (the Vessel Traffic channel for the area) and have an active Fog Horn with amplified listen back all working at once make working in the fog an acceptable and doable challenge.
Dwight, hope you still have that Ray54. Put it (back) in and use it for your talk radio, while SH will listen on 16 and work the fog horn and listen back.
(Interestingly, I found that the Standard Horizon will not power the hailer horn as loudly as my old Raymarine 218, but the listen back feature on the Standard Horizon has a better "listen back" amplifier. Go figure.) Also, the Standard Horizon cannot be used for VHF communication when is the Foghorn mode SO you need something to talk on to avoid having to go through the fog horn start series every time you use the fog horn.

Thank you Kaelc.
The compass lighting appears to be OE. It's a Richey compass and the small red LED is in a hood that can pivot over the top of the compass.
The fuel fill hoses were super easy to change out on my 22. The tanks are fully exposed under the splash well, so that end is easy enough to get at. The starboard fuel filler end was accessed thru the lazerette and the port side (the most difficult of the four but still easy) was accessed just reaching up under the gunnel.
Man, you just really have to appreciate how these boats where designed. They're SOOOO easy to work on. |
