AC and fireworks

 

Finished improvements to aft AC unit. I added a three inch hose to free up the constricted airflow. I made up a new plenum to permit a second hose. It exits at the base of the bed. Sat on the boat and watched the July 4 fireworks along the river. New curtains for front windows coming along. I have an issue with the water tank meter. The sender works fine but the float stopped floating. I'll have to add something to it. I tried the radar today as there was a big storm rolling through. It is original to the boat but hasn't seen much use. It really works well and I can't see replacing it. Hell, that is the second time I ever turned it on! 

Steering wheel blues

 The problem with my steering is solved, I replaced the helm pump with a new unit. The wheel needed 14 turns, lock to mushy lock. No more! 7 turns. Very happy, The Autopilot is working well. I think that headache is finally solved. Working on improvements to the aft AC unit, it doesn't get enough air on the intake side. I plan to run a 3 inch vent across the bed to draw in more air the bed to draw in more air. We are fitting custom curtains into the front glass and getting rid of that wrap around bra. I hate those things. 115 degrees here today. I had one AC unit running, Saloon unit, it was 82 downstairs. Not bad.
