This was last years shop high temps. The upper reading is the attic temp, or the epoxy post cure oven. |

This was the lows. |

Bad plug. After running the cooler for a while I un plugged it to run the sander. When I plugged it back in there was a pop and..... |

Fitting installed. |
|
|
|
Looks good, but it's in the wrong place. |
|
|
|
So I chisled off the doubler. |

|
The Sofo Scoop and attached Y valve. Yes the valve is big. |
|
|
|
The fitting for the scoop is a tight fit on the 1 1/2" hose. |
|
|
|
But the thru hull fitting is too small. |
|
|
|
Same with the fitting on the bilge pump. |
|
|
|
And the Y valve is somwhere in between. |
|
|
|
Doubler for the water ballast tank thru hull fitting. |

The vinagar is used for cleaning up uncured epoxy. |

Ran out of clamps. |
|
|
|
Holes in the water tanks. These are for water and air between the 3 chambers. |
|
|
|
Starboard side. |
|
|
|
Port side. |
|
|
|
Drilled the middle hole before thinking about it. Boat will be heeled when the tanks are filled/emptied and holes at the tops when heeled would work better. |
