Hey, there, Willy,

Thanks for the heads-up. Back in Marsh Harbour, shipping boxes off the
boat, off to dinner to celebrate, and the work begins in earnest tomorrow.
This PM I'll do some little stuff belowdecks, like install the NEW uniden
radio I had to buy because, now, 5 weeks after shipping it to them, Uniden
STILL hasn't even logged it, let alone touched it or analyzed or, if needed,
repaired it. So much for only a $60-something repair. I thought that a
month ashore would have been ample time, but no such luck!

New chartplotter and pod (wiring will be a bitch!), with new GPS integrated
(the [separate] puck GPS is already in and talking to the Cap'n), AIS and
splitter, all of which I'll have to integrate with my autopilot and other
gear, new serial cables to go with the 3 additional RS232 ports I had put
into my computer while in on warranty for a new BIOS and more USB ports (now
total 6), which will have to be integrated to my (new) AIS, Pactor
(currently with a USB-Serial adapter) and something else I'm forgetting at
the moment, high-output alternator (with spare regulators for my, now, 3 {!}
spare 70Amp alternators), new helm radio integrated with DSC to the new
GPS/chartplotter and the remote extensions (trying to figure out where I'll
put them...), new kitchen faucet (old spray pull-out head snapped off,
"lifetime warranty" at HD required sending it off rather than in-store
exchange, so I bagged it), new mast-top antenna cable as discussed
previously herein, new fuel end for the dink tank, having arrived with a
Merc rather than Johnson head, leading to air intrusion, rewind spring for
said outboard, and a bunch of lesser junk-chores, one of which is to review
one of our 5 backup and storage (music, movies, pictures, regular full
backups, yada, yada) hard drives, investigate why our inverter kept flaking
on the way down here (maybe the 16.1 V we were generating is more than it
likes?), and so on.

Looking forward to all that, and really enjoying the sweeter sound of the
rebuilt injectors we have (no wind, but we wanted to get off the dock, so we
drove the 10 or so miles to here) now...

Skip and Lydia, hungry

Have I got an alternator for you! Take a look at these guys:

http://www.alternatorparts.com/Extreme%20Duty%20Dual%20Rectifier%20CS-144%20type.htm

They are good for about 150 amps continuous with dual belts.

Heh. I got a 120A for about 129, and it fits my slot...

Skip, successfully pulling the new VHF cable today with no issues other than
an exploding 101 cartrige; on to the chartplotter/GPS, new radios, and all
the integration...
