Hoses, hoses and more hoses…

I had originally left all of the plumbing intact when we started this refit in order to be sure that I remembered where everything ran. Well that was a big waste of time. There was absolutely no point to that whatsoever. Lesson learned. The plumbing in Akupara was a mess to say the least. There were more tee’s and joins than a city water system. Managed to rip out the majority of it yesterday and began running the new Pex tubing. Because I bought the rolls of Pex as opposed to straight Pex tubing, it took a little longer than expected as I had to straighten and fight with it a bit but it is all in place now not including the aft head.

I think I have decided to locate the manifolds and pump underneath the galley as there is a fair amount of empty space there to work with.

Also managed to finish up some electrical work yesterday which is nice.

Engine is still in – damnit – I wish they would hurry up and get it out or perhaps I will start taking it out myself piece by piece.

The boat show is coming up fast, another 10 days, I wonder if the Admiral knows how much this show is going to cost us??? 😉

Also spent some time this morning planning out the new system.
