Winter Projects


I use an old set of linesman's pliers and dip each jaw into liquid plastic and let dry. This is great for wire bending as it will not nick the insulation.
 
Everything looks great ! We are working on getting the new fridge installed. Saw your previous about how to get out the companionway door. Fingers crossed all goes well.
 
Attached is a pic of dash all together and working. Couple minor bugs to work out. Jus need to install new steering wheel.

Started a few winter projects on my 2002 41 pc. Removed all original electronics which meant new dash panels. Panels are being made by ?Boatoutfitters? in Fl. Should be done in couple of weeks. Will post pics later. Changed rocker switches to push button switches. Removed cockpit fridge and replaced with drawer fridge. ( hated drinks rolling around when opening door underway) Removed galley fridge which had a cracked bottom and every 2 weeks the frost from freezer would push door open. Several other projects like replacing shower head with rain shower head and handheld. Will try and post a couple pics of mock-up.View attachment 11900View attachment 11901View attachment 11902View attachment 11903View attachment 11904

Was it difficult to get this shower head off? I've been meaning to tackle mine but it looked a bit daunting compared to a regular home unit
 
I was a little a little concerned when I took it off by hey it had to go together so it must come apart. Wasn’t hard at all , if my memory serves me slide the plastic cover towards the shower head to expose the set screw, loosen then pull shower head off. Then unscrew the brass piece that has o ring and your ready to install new

Thanks for getting back! After taking the shower head off I noticed it's not a threaded fitting, did you need to get a specific type of non-standard shower head? Which model did you end up going with for the rainfall shower? And did it install the same way as the factory one where it slides on and there's just a set screw?
 
The piece you pulled the shower head off has an o-ring correct? That will unscrew from the fitting in the wall leaving male threads so you need an adapter to extend it out to put whatever you install for shower head. That piece where the water came out is a hex so an Allen key will remove it
 
See attached photos of the shower head piece you need to remove

Finally finished with new thru hull intakes, seacocks, check valves, hoses, strainers, bonding wire, bilge pump and discharge hose. Bilge pump was the last piece finished today. New shower sump is 50% complete. Will complete Saturday. Sump was leaking at a broken intake fitting and around the hose to pump fitting causing grey water from sinks and shower leaking into bilge. Got the black scum out with chlorine tablet in bilge water. Nothing else would remove the stains.
