Through November I've carried out a number of Commincation Enhancements, removing the old 0.9M VHF Glomex Aerial for a new 2.5M VHF Shakespeare Mast, that should sort out the comms problems we've been having.
I also changed the mast mounts to Glomex Heavy Duty SS adjustable mounts, so the aerials can be dropped when underway or navigating low bridges. At the same time opting to change the old 0.5M DBTV Mast for a new Glomex 1.2M GRP/SS Ferrell Mast to improve overall TV reception, (that will keep the crew happy).
In addition, I removed the last plastic fitting by upgrading the Shore Power Socket to a SS Merinco Unit.
Then finally, I removed old Transducer for the new Garmin GT20 (designed for our Chart Plotter) with Down Vu technology, this provides both traditional Sonar and Actual 3D underwater imagery!
That completes a month of techy jobs, now need to crack on with the Hull & Leg.
