Bilge blowers and cable runs


 Carpet long gone, I want to wrap up odd jobs prior to laying the new stuff. On the right you see one of the original bilge blowers, It is fried! There are 4 and only one works. On the left, I machined up this nice replacement. Everything is mounted on the plate. Two 40 amp relays and a fuse box. The existing wiring is a mess but I figured it out. This set up should work a lot better and look more professional. I had to run a 4 wire cable from the transom to the helm, took me 3 hours to route it. Carver does not make it easy. Now I need to machine up a base to mount the Raymarine rudder indicator on, followed by the installation of the Autopilot. Then I need to cut several holes under the swim platform to slide a hidden support bracket in place for the dingy lift. Pitter patter, lets get a 'ere!
