2016

Things that are in the planing stages for next spring.

First ,the starter motor is giving me a hard time with a dead spot, so that will be overhauled.
I have a new waste fitting that needs to be replaced.
A fresh water vent line out of the side of the hull under the rub rail, i have the fitting
a charger system that i found in a junk pile in the marina, I fixed it and that will replace the old one there now.
The new furler furlex series a which i picked up used.
I could not use the old headsail ,and the one on the furler was just tooo far gone ,so i picked up another one on ebay and i think it will work
I still want to reset my safty stanchons with a more secure gate
The biminy needs to be serviced and if i still have time im going to design a new dodger.
All this in 3 months , lots of luck.

2015 summer

Here is all the stuff that happened this summer,
the trip up north when the isolator failed and I lost all power.
the broken shift cable. but all is fixed and the season was too short

 Otter Creek

 Champlain Bridge

 Fort Ticonderoga

 Chipmans Point

Rafting up with Rick

 Amtrac

 Eagles Nest

Inside the cabin and the trip north

The cabin is getting its electronics reworked , LED lights new stereo and 14 inch TV screen
all hooked into the xm radio and through my WiFi hot spot on the phone.
Also I found the ground short for th UHV radio and that works fine now
 Pictures to follow as well as my 3 week trip up north.

Shift cable failure

I couldn't shift the boat last fall and it got worse and worse
I thought it was the atomic 4 transmission but no its fine
Then discovered the cable was jammed. This is not easy to replace
Pulled out the old
The ericson with the Edison Pedestal and Atomic 4 engine uses 6400cc series cable
5/16 -24 threads
a 12 ft cable costs over 170.00 plus shipping

This is a Teleflex cable ,Teleflex bought out just about every cable manufacturer so a one stop scource.

Under the lump in the cable this is what i found

The cable is quite heavy and expensive because of the diameter there is no cheaper way

launch for 2015

There are still some items that need doing but those can be done in the water

We have new spreader bars
the water packing gland got serviced
oil change
new led lights in the cabin
and a new shift cable the one in the boat is no longer working
