Well its been one of those "simple' projects that only took weeks to complete. We have never had water tank gauges on a boat in all of our 15+ years of sailing.

We ordered a new one (7 gallon like the current one) and set to replace. Hahahaha. In typical boat project fashion … Continue reading You say accumulator we say …. what the ….

The title says it all ... I fully expect to be doing a bit more prism rebedding, because a) the other may also leak at some point (the one above the chart table did last year a bit - so thats already on the list), and b) We are not convinced this one is going … Continue reading Prism Rebedding # 1
