MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Hi y'all
   I have been able to do some upgrades on Wind Wager thanks to some great weather.   I dropped the centerboard and replaced the hanger.


Also, replaced the stock cable for the centerboard control but took a couple gyrations. I used the original cable to pull through the new line.

1) tried to use 7/16 Spectra line but had clearance issues.  I thought it was the line so next
2) Tried 1/8 Dynema line good for 1800 lbs.
Same issue then found the new bolt and nut I used was a 1/8 inch to long and was hitting cavity side stopping centerboard from going all the way up.  Had to go back to original bolt for now....

I also found a great deal on a Norcold 40 qt fridge / frezzer. This was made by Engel for Norcold/ These can run off 12v DC and can make Ice!!!  Now to get it mounted... More to come..

Another great find !
     
Updated motor and control.  Found a low hour 2013 Honda 50 hp
 to replace the current 1998 Honda 50 hp.  Will be selling my old motor and maybe control.

Needs a little welding
Will also replace the current side mount control

with a concealed control.

I guess that's all for now,  Spring is coming!!
