Gauges all in and op-checked. GPS speedo finally works. I tried to build my own gps antenna, but ended up needing one from the company that built the gauges. Bluetooth stereo in the bottom center sounds great.

Here is the “nearly” finished helm. I still have a small bit of wiring left to do. The fuel gauge isn’t centered & looks kinda dumb, but oh well. I’m building this thing for family fun, not to win at boat shows.

I started wiring up a more modern “blue sea systems” fuse box under the helm. I ran 4AWG cable from the battery switch to the fuse box. The boat previously had glass barrel fuses.

After gutting a half mile of useless & broken wires out of the boat, started rigging up new wiring. I moved the battery switches out of the engine bay and put them under the seat. I built new 0AWG cables and laced them more conveniently than they were before. I put shrink wrap on all the ends.

I sealed the acrylic to the plastic body using automotive RTV. It was leaking from the seam. I drained the nasty old oil, and refilled it with 3 little bottles of J&J baby oil. I had to use a med syringe to fill it. Total spent on the job was $12.

I also finished “rebuilding” my compass today. These things are like $300 new, which is asinine. I used a headlight restorer kit to cut & buff the acrylic. It was so yellowed & hazed you couldn’t see thru it initially. It took about 90 minutes.

Once I pulled all the harnesses out of the gun whale & got them to the engine bay, they were relatively easy to identify between: Fuel sender Hatch opening ram L/R drive trim pumps L/R k plane Stereo (looked like a 15 year old installed the stereo) The actual engine harnesses are still a mystery. It’ll take a couple days to sort that out.

All the helm stuff was relatively easy to unplug, cut, and remove. I’m not gonna reuse any of it.

I gutted the boat’s wiring today. The amount of hot, loose, random wires in the helm and engine bay was alarming. I decided to start over from zero & cut everything out.

Cockpit. We’ll put in new front seats & reupholster the rest.

Cabin. Needs all new upholstery & a good cleaning.

Steering and throttle linkages are in good shape. How do I clean up the finish on the throttle box? It’s got lumpy, sharp corrosion spots all over it. I wanted to replace it, but wife wants to keep the vintage look.

Helm. Only the tachs function. I pulled all this stuff out yesterday. It’ll get replaced with autometer marine stuff.

Other side of transmission. Is this a velvet drive 71C or 72C? Can you tell from looking at the outside?

Transmission and starter. Kinda hard to work on with the engine hatch in place. I might pull off the engine hatch for a couple months.

Is this a Rochester carb? Should I replace the filter in the front case? How do I refill the bowls since they’ve been sitting?

Twin 454s. They have crane gold rocker arms. I don’t know too much else about them. I’ve heard them run, but it was over a year ago. They have big cams. They both freely crank & turn over.

TRS drives. Looks like they spin in opposite directions. Do the motors spin in opposite directions too? Or do the transmissions take care of that?

The exterior is in better shape than I thought. The top white area needs a heavy cut and polish/wax to shine again. The rest of the boat really just needs a wash & wax.

I’d like to put in modern race style throttles with trim switches, but that looks intimidating to rig up. These are ancient, but they work.

A good vacuum and cleaning will suffice in the cabin for now. I won’t overnight until I move back to the east coast.
