Cleaning up

All of the electronics appear to work now, the old toilet waste tank is out & the macerator was dead, starting battery fitted in the correct place. And a hundred small jobs completed....
A Perkins mechanic will be paying a visit to service the engine in May before the Salmon season starts in the Stockholm waters, all of the trolling equipment will be fitted before then.
The electronics will be "Old School" this season but there will be some interesting add-ons for 2014 ;-) watch this space....
John.

More "stuff"

Today I bought a second hand Yamaha 8hp high thrust outboard as my trolling engine, it already has a controllking throttle control so that's another item off my shopping list. Almost there ;-)
