Posted by Steve Botts on 2/6/2005, 8:00 pm, in reply to "Re: Odds and Ends" My electric bilge pump (located at the top of the bilge photo) is disconnected in the photo of the bilge. It is a small round Rule pump that has an L-shaped mounting bracket. I don't know the model. My manual bilge pump, whose 1.5" hose you see in the bilge is a Whale Titan. The little work table to the left of the stove is propped open with a decorative triangular support that is hinged and lies flat under the table when not in use. To use the table, you lift it up and swing out the support. Its handy and very sturdy. I got the idea from a sketch book of boat projects written by Bruce Bingham. --Previous Message--

I like the later interior of the Mark III too. It is very open, which is nice in such a small boat. As to your questions, the cables are held in place with cable ties that have a hole for mounting them with screws.
: Steve,
: You have a beautiful boat. I like the new
: and improved layout. The removal of that
: partial bulkhead just forward of the
: companionway, (with the two support posts),
: really opens up the saloon.
: Question: In the picture of the bilge, there
: is a cable bundle attached to the port side
: of the bilge..how are the clamps attached to
: the fiberglass? Also, what make/model of
: bilge pump are you using? Looks like a nice
: fit.
:
: Also, there seems to be a hinged panel
: attached to the stove enclosure...for more
: working space? How is it propped up when in
: use?
:
: As to under the cockpit, you're right, there
: is a ton of space.. the challenge is to
: organize it. From what I've seen so far on
: my boat, a wheel steering mod should be
: pretty easy....or as easy as anything is on
: a boat.

: My fuel tank is under the v-berth and came
: from the factory that way. I have two
: batteries. One mounted in the engine box on
: the port side of the engine. That's my
: starting battery. My house battery is in
: the bottom of the cabinet under the
: electrical panel, just to port of the
: companionway steps. There are photos of
: Amigo that show where I'm taking about here:

: I've also seen a battery on the shelf you
: mention.
:
: Have you thought about all of that space
: under the cockpit. With no tank under there
: you've got all kinds of space for something.
: Just poor access.

: I'm starting to have some respect for the
: Atomic 4. When I spun it up (without
: starting it), the compression was
: 60-70-120-80. I don't believe the 120
: reading..I think the gauge is off. After a
: shot of Marvel's Mystery Oil in each
: cylinder, and resting for a couple of days,
: I started the engine and ran it for about 15
: seconds. After shutdown I rechecked the
: compression and found all cylinders to be
: with 2 pounds.
:
: Now my question: Where do you folks mount
: the batteries? I want to install 2 group
: 31's. There's only two places that seem to
: make sense...under the aft dinette settee,
: or aft of the companion way steps. There are
: two shelves there, which would reinforcing,
: but a nice fit for group 31 battery boxes.
: Any thoughts?
:
: I plan to mount new AC and DC power panels
: above the dinette...where are yours located?
: Does this location work ok?
:
: My fuel tank is in the V-berth...is this an
: owner mod? I think under the cockpit is a
: better location...any thoughts?
:
: Like other posters...the iceboxes are a
: mystery to me. The port one requires leaning
: over the stove to get something from
: it...doesn't seem too practical. But I can't
: think of a better use for the space. I am
: thinking of moving the stove to a spot
: forward of the sink. This wipes out two
: berths I know, but sure would provide a
: better gallley. If I do this, then maybe a
: proper nav station in the old stove location
: would work, as well as being a better spot
: for the new power panels. Now the old icebox
: becomes a large pencil holder..
:
: Any and all thoughts and comments welcome.
