Re: Klondike Build
The relays seem to be similar so now you gotta have a spare which you will never need.

Re: RowMe
glad to see you on the board again. Hope senior moments are rare and past experience fuels this high octane build
I am, especially in these times enjoying my boat, maintenance is easy except in instances when I forget what exactly I had wired and its purpose( senior moments)

Re: Klondike Build
currents are described for the direction the are going wind on the other hand is named for the direction it came from. A head wind is no problem for you since you are already going with the flow. Great going Steve.

Re: Building The Vera Cruise
Everything looks really great and strong I thought some of the scantlings for my build seemed small and not being an engineer didn't know of the idiot factor that goes into design eg if its made to withstand x force it could possibly withstand x plus, so my frames were the nominal thickness. I paid ...

Re: SEA KNIGHT
Do not despair sleep on it sometimes that is all that is necessary to come up with the solution. I know the feeling I think we have all been there especially in areas we know going in is not our strong suit.

Re: Christmas present……….some assembly required ! !
Kens I just placed you in the furniture builder category for future reference. some of us build work, play, jewels like Seaquin, award winning etc boats but now you have gone and built water bound furniture. Absolutely beautiful. Kens do not put a big block in her

Re: Building The Vera Cruise
As usual looking great now old buddy you are at the 10% stage. It is often said that 90% of the build takes 10% of the time and the other 10% takes 90%of the time and it looks like you are way into the 90% so keep on keeping on you are doing it right.
