Ready for 2008
Old School is ready for the 2008 season. She should be splashing down today or tomorrow. Here is a summary of the changes and updates I made.
First off was the new 40 gallon INCA tank from Ebay, same one that fishingwithblue and randleman also have.  Along with the new tank I ran new fuel lines and installed my new Racor filter ($28 shipped from Ebay)  and Lowrance EP-60 fuel flow meter.  Here is my LowranceNET backbone with EP-60 fuel flow meter and EP-15 fluid level sensor connected. The sender on my new tank is attached to the EP-15. I am in the process of doing the 5 point calibration. Just need to calibrate at full.  I tried to clean up the wiring a bit. Here is the BEFORE:  and AFTER....still a bit of a nest but pretty well organized.  I also installed a couple of busbars down by the batteries so I didn't have 7 wires connected to the negative post of the battery.   Previously none of the 4 small gauges I had worked. I replaced the voltage gauge and water pressure gauge and fixed the trim sender so now 3 of the 4 work. The gas level is shown on my GPS unit along with fuel flow so no need to fix the gas gauge.   I built a contraption out of PVC to hold the canvas front and sides for my bimini so they could be stored rolled up nice and neat like.  New anchor tensioner installed....not sure I am using it correctly since it won't lock down properly.  I repaired the bow eye.....BEFORE  and AFTER....I used a scrap of black starboard since it has good compression qualities.  Also, due to an unfortunate incident that involves me having to cut my anchor line last year, I got to master my braiding skills to reattach my anchor chain.  A little bottom paint, wax, and elbow grease and she's all cleaned up and ready now!!!

Lookin great, whale!!
Seeing what you've got is giving me some ideas (would do something about the hole in the tank though, use it for an umbrella stand or something).
