Further Progress

Over the last week I have been fitting the guard rails and the pushpit,  put the last bit with the boarding ladder on this morning just I seem to have mislaid one of the stanchion bases so not quite complete yet. The pulpit is yet to be fitted I was going to do it today but got fed up working out in the rain I need to put a couple of draw wires through the tube, before installation, so that I can pull in the new cables that feed the navigation lights.

The rain did show up a couple of small leaks round the toe rail bolts easily cured with a grommet under the nut and washer.

The next job is to make up the cockpit drain plumbing so that I can dry out the engine space in order to get it painted and then start on reinstalling the engine. I stripped the raw water pump in the workshop over the weekend the impeller is shot so while its out I will replace the seal as well.

Couple of pictures of the repaired port forward toe rail section which I forgot last time, turned out quite well not totally invisible but saved the expense and effort of having to make a new section.
