Getting ready

Installed a new 150Ah battery today, i also ran the cables and connected the two Big Jon electric planer reels, while i did this i was taking crimps & wire from a box when I noticed a strange small wire.... When I pulled it out I found a raymarine tethered remote for the autopilot :-) i can steer it from behind the wheelhouse, happy, happy....
