Oxnard - Day 14


Started the work on the through-hulls.
Idea was to remove it all and inspect.


With a heat gun, it was actually easy to take the hoses off.

The seacocks were another game.
Frozen and rusty, and bad accessibility.
Not fun.

Eventually, got them all.
Good news, they seem ok to me.
(But I will have to call on the experts to check).

Here are the old bronze valves.
Not too bad after 35 years.

Going modern.
Switching the navlights to LEDs.

Stern LED.
Small and design, it looks nice.

Overall, a good day, with some work done, and good news as the through-hulls look in a fair state to me.
Crossing fingers.
