Hello all, I spent the day wet-sanding the bottom of Callisto and she is nearly ready for a coat of paint. I also cut out the old keel joint rubbery sealant, in preparation for some Sikaflex 291. I plan to scrub the gap a bit more and clean with lacquer thinner before letting dry.
All the through hulls look good, bronze with marelon valves. I have two depth transducers, one for a Standard Horizon DS30, and the other for a Garmin 140 Fishfinder, both working. There is a plug for the old B&G speed sensor, but I was pleased to find another newer speed sensor in good shape, it appears to be a Garmin like this: http://www.airmar.com/productdescription.html?id=103 The specs show either a NMEA 2000 or analog cable, but I haven't traced it yet to determine which one I have. Of course, the B&G H1000 system I have only does NMEA 0183, so I will need a signal converter, I think. I'm hesitant to spend any money on the old B&G system until I verify the pieces I have actually work though. Also, the plug for the old B&G sensor is very thin plastic, about 2mm thick. I'm thinking of filling the hollow plug with epoxy so it doesn't sink the boat if it ever cracks. Or maybe just find a better one? It's 1 3/4" diameter. -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com
