The entire lower deck was filthy, particularly the floor boards. So the morning was taken up cleaning and returning tools to their proper homes. We'd found some amazing cleaning spray from Andreou Brothers, pink in color it cuts through the oil and grease and the boat is beginning to look like it is a yacht again.
In the afternoon Ken came down and took more measurements and worked out an idea for how the elctric drive chain and the battery bank can be mounted in the engine room.
One little job to complete for the day: Fit the controls for the new winch. Fitting the foot switches went much easier than expected, making them work was not. The wire for the 12 volt control for the foot switches was dead. Nothing at all... eventually I worked out that it was actually coming from the pump control under the for'ard heads, where I found it totally unconnected to anything.
Under the for'ard heads there was also a red wire also connected to nothing at all. Tracing that wire back I found it under the port locker, still connected to nothing. So we connected it up to the 12 volt breaker panel, connected it under the for'ard heads and then we had control power for the winch!
