(Sunday 26-April-2015) Painted the transom with topside paint. The wooden battery box and its support base was rotted so we built a new one using composite decking lumber and installed it.

When the boat was hauled out last fall, one of the stanchions was bent somehow. I suspect the travel lift’s belt did it. I had it straightened at work and we re-installed it and the lifelines.

Over the winter I bought an “hour run time meter” for the engine. I designed a cutout template to make it easier to install in the electrical panel. The template was laser cut from steel and I used it and a “rotozip” to make the cut in the electrical panel.
Installed engine run time meter and template.
