Re: My 1st Hatt - 1984 52C
Thanks!! That's just the time-saving tip I was looking for...will order those clips right away. But which clip??? https://www.sailrite.com/All-Hardwar...tem_popularity
I went on Etsy.com and just searched "vinyl fabric blue gold" and couldn't believe the selection. Everything is vinyl so it can just be wiped-off. I got the white version of that quilted diamond fabric to cover the big wall mirror in the master stateroom. That should really lighten it up.
But damn - I was afraid y'all would prefer the fabric to my mahogany veneer!
Edit: This must be them....look perfect for the job. BUT, it appears I'd have to make a hole? Hope I don't drill through the other side. https://www.sailrite.com/BeauClip-Pa...g-System-BlackLast edited by JuiceClark; 04-13-2021 at 09:45 PM.

The little gizmo is a sensor for one of those weather stations, it looked familar because i had one here at my home. Very handy when needing to know how long to warm my truck up on those Januaury mornings.

You're a good man.
We all know my wife is gonna force me to do the damned fabric. So, I just appreciate the sentiments.
A-ha! Yep, there was a weather station clock on the boat I took off during the big cleaning. I wondered why the damned thing didn't work - that must be the sensor which sends the clock data.

I was converting the nav lights over to 12v at the switch yesterday and tested the switch for the Ray-Line while at it. It's getting voltage but the switch is toast. That little resistor connecting the slow and fast power is rusted away.
A new switch is $250. It just so happens there's a used one on Ebay I just bought for 25 bucks! What are the odds it works? I'd guess about 8%...felt lucky.

What do you do when there are gaping holes to fill? (careful)
There was a giant stereo system in this one. I can still hear Frampton Comes Alive oozing from the components.
I already have a big ice maker and full reefer. The edge moldings don't even match and it's hideous. I really don't need a drink fridge...might have to get one just to fill the hole.

Then there's that other cabinet which held an ancient tv with built-in VCR. I've got so much other shit to do. Wouldn't it be great to find a cabinet door that size?

Mystery solved. There's a single, big ol D 12v battery sitting in the way of the steering pressure cannister and the genny. Since day 1, I've wondered "why??"
Well, I finally traced the wires on Sunday and found out that big battery was only wired to a cigarette lighter on the bridge, one big cockpit light mounted on the bridge (the cheap black kind that belongs on an old truck) and another cigarette lighter mounted in the box with the cockpit controls. That's it!
I'll rip that junk out next weekend and give the battery to my buddy for his trolling motor.
