Light bulb moment

 While I was in the shower contemplating the meaning of life I had a light bulb moment or should that have been a Homer Simpson 'doh' moment, the reason for the need to swap over the autopilot motor power leads had nothing to do with the motor having been replaced but the fact that the tiller that it operates on is mounted aft of the rudder stock so that the actuator needs to move in the opposite direction to give the correct rudder movement.

I started this week by making the shelf for the space behind the dinette and also a cover to go down at the bottom of the space which has an opening into the calorifier space, these now require varnishing which I have started and will add further coats next week. I then went on to clean up the bulkhead inside the space it had previously been lined with something possibly the same textured vinyl that was used on the remainder of the saloon bulkheads, the adhesive appeared to possibly be some form of latex which scraped off fairly easily. I gave the bulkhead a sanding and used some spray contact adhesive to secure a piece of the same grey van lining carpet that I had used for the rest of the headlining.

The object to the right of the space is the autopilot fluxgate compass, I was thinking of moving it to the space under the shelf but to do that I think it will be necessary to pull the cable all the way back from the autopilot course computer and it has been spiral wrapped so it would be a lot of messing about, unless the cable can be disconnected at the compass but I very much doubt it. Next week I must really make the effort to finish the forward cabin sole and then the heads.
