Back by popular demand...The new "shitter" and holding tank are in.The real question is, how’d that new shitter tank work out for ya? Would Eddie from Christmas Vacation be proud??
Ya, 6 per side to support the cushion and the 5/8" backer board. The legs snap/unsnap easily using the Beauclip system. I did not want it falling down under any conditions. Whether it is just us "Rolling in the hay" ya, right after 30 years married but more likely both of us and the dogs all on one side, about 450#'s, I did not want to have any spring in the 5/8" board. I usually design for overkill until I find out I did not need to during the use. I did not want to sit on one end and have the other end pop up or bow in the middle.That's a lot of support legs! Those cushions must be designed for a lot of "pushion".....
Thanks Tim. Yes, I am proud of what she put together based on an idea that I had. They came out very nice and change the whole look of the interior.I am just amazed at the overall look of the cabin there. I remember how it started. Whole place is a different feel and look. Marvelous.
You folks should be very proud. Very nicely done.
You are right, the last 4 years (22 pages), have been quite a journey. I have learned a boatload about marine systems as many of them needed refitting on this 30 yo sailboat. Even the lesser known aspects of knots and using a midship cleat with a spring line to dock in windy conditions. I have a good partner who can hold her end of the line, with her modifications too. I wonder what our next boat will bring us. The Yamaha brought me to this boat forum.Oh, but it is so much more than just this one piece! That center console thingy. The floor. The whole cabin is amazing, particularly remembering how the whole thing started!
I am amazed, and I saw the whole thing happen.
that is cuteDocumenting the new dinghy cover in this thread. A few pictures of the dinghy and motor cover. I am psyched that I won't have to bail out the boat after it rains. Boat vent sewn into the cover with an adjustable pole. Don't mind the icy conditions.
I think it looks like a boat shoe on wheels.

We used hooks to terminate the shock cord. And hog rings to attach the cord to the hooks.

The adjustable black hook on the motor sets the tension along the ridge. Adjustable strap in my fingers.
