Title: Boat prep is moving along...
Post by: Sam3 on March 31, 2008, 08:07:19 AM
Spend the good part of the day yesterday wiring the new Garmin 540 and getting it functional. Installed the freshly charged batteries and powerwashed everything. Man, was it filthy.
Checked all the lights, horn, pumps, VHF and other electronic items to make sure everything works. The washdown pump was the only item not working, so I'll get another one and throw that in before I take her to the marina.
Need to stain the teak wood and give her a good compounding and waxing and she's good to go.
May 1st can't come soon enough!!!!

 ;D

Yup. Joe has the box and info though. No biggie, I'll pick up another one for now and return that one. Good to have a spare.
