We had a few nice days last week and got to work on the boat. Cleaned up the mold and mildew in the monkey hair. Came out pretty good considering how bad it looked when we started. Just need to go over the monkey hair with Resolve carpet cleaner to remove the stains from the glue use to apply the monkey hair to the ceiling of the V berth.

Installed the V berth teak and the teak strips for the sliding hatch along with the fiddle sticks on the dash. Haven't installed the V berth doors yet because of a crack in the gel coat. Seems the boat might have been a victim of theft at some point by the looks of the damage.

Got the steering cable out of the boat (had to cut it at the motor). Everyone was correct..the motor will have to be removed to install the new steering unit and cable. The cable and steering unit was original with a date of Nov 1986. Looks like I'm at a point where I will have to wait for warmer weather to do the steering installation. While I have the motor off I would like to seal the transom under the aluminum trim. I removed an old transducer from the boat an didn't see any water dripping. Might have gotten lucky and have a solid transom.
