As winter turns into Spring there is a lot more that can be done than working on the car! I've spent a certain amount of time on my proper boat even going away on it for a few days to avail myself of licensed premises in England while Welsh pubs are still shut.
All the big heavy jobs are now done so its now a matter of doing all the millions of little things that make finish it off.
I've started off by washing the areas in the fo'cstle that were contaminated with brake fluid and repainting them.
The fuel tank and filler are now back in.
Something that needs to be addressed at some point is to fit and cable up the radiator cooling fan. The radiator is not going to be subjected to any great airflow either ashore or afloat. The fan needs to be arranged so it can be set to continuously on and this can easily be done by taking a feed from the ignition switch to the fan relay. The current plan is to move the relay to the back to avoid long runs of cable taking a high current and trigger this from the ignition. Plan A.1 is to have a switch in the trigger cable so it can be set to 'off'. Plan A.2 is to take a feed from the original relay trigger to override the 'off' switch. Should cover it!
No photos this week but a wiring diagram for the fan
