V Berth Modification

Hi All,
   I was able to complete a modification of the port settee and v berth to facilitate not needing to lower the dining table.   This increased the length of the v-berth making for a comfortable sleep.

1st I made a box  frame out Poplar and used a 3/4 inch plywood on top .  This is needed to raise the port settee area level with he V berth

Later I will make a 2 or 3 layer storage system underneath.  Next I added a ledger board on Settee side and cut a board out of Birch plywood to span the space.(Under the red cushion)

We will need to make a cushion to fit this space and then a 3" memory foam on top.  Should make the Admiral and me very happy.

In case you didn't notice I can get side tracked.  I still haven't mount the battery charger as I am undecided where to mount.  O well sooner or later we will get there.

Thanks All
Tom
Wind Wager

So I started getting Wind Wager to go back in the water . Beginning with little work on the stearn motor mount area.  I noticed a gap inside the lower mounting bolt area and decided to fill the gap before re-tighten the bolt.











 Then I removed the intake manifold and Carbs to replace all the vacuum and fuel lines.  I had some issues with the #3 carb vacuum.

Seems to be running good but I will not know for sure till I get it in the water and under a load.

    I plan to mount battery charger next and was thinking I may mount it on underside of the hatch over the batteries.

Well Have a Great Day,

  

Tom
