Its hard to go backwards when some tired battery cables are the good stuff

Make up a bunch of dummy cables to get the length right

Photobucket

Photobucket


All toghter starting to look much better

Photobucket

But of course a 20" cable got made 20'

I ran a test charge and everything combined just like the instructions and opened right on time also

The 12 switch panel should be waterjet cut this week

Its amazing how much a faucet can cost and not even be all that good :rolleyes:

So after a relentless search i found these ECO PURE units as Lowes which are perfect in that there really well made and have a nice low flow and are setup with a 3/8 tube push lock fitting

To keep the women happy we went with the Traveler Self-Contained Toilet / Holding Tank as the 9 gallons fits are use of the boat without all the complexity of cramping in a holding tank in a boat that was built without one


Of course no good dead go without problems and ones under a heavy load the pump started leaking BUT it was on sale at defenders warehouse sale and i would have most likely regretted fixing a 30 year old pump as some bolts were breaking when i took it apart
