I have enjoyed being on the forum and great full for all the advice from all the experienced owners. As I’ve answered and asked questioned on various threads I thought I keep a thread for my upgrades to show where I am and hopefully do some videos & post pics once I work out how to make the file sizes smaller. I can provide more info if anyone is considering doing similar.
HMEX - I now have the system fitted and will be testing it when I get out hopefully one evening this week. I’m doing a couple of hours berthing with an instructor due to this being my first twin engine boat.
Sharrow Props - all fitted correctly now and waiting to test.
Fitted carpel - arrived and I’m doing it today after I spend a few hours cleaning inside and out.
Sound system - I’ve upgraded to the Fusion Apollo, including the blue neon light up XS sport speakers and wired colour remote in the outside area seating area.
Just bought a remote to link to the Side Power bow/stern thruster already fitted
Garmin camera installed to monitor reverse and eventually link to an analytic detection system. Luckily I work for a company that specialises in this and it won’t cost anything.
Engines have new covers (without vents for berthing).
Garmin gWind unit on the way and I’ve already installed a GMI20, connected to the NMEA.
Simarine battery/electric systems monitoring unit installed.
I have a Digital Yacht 4G Extreme router which I need to fit which will provide the data vpn connection for the detection system as well as providing WiFi onboard.
Lastly I have a 2 transponder sonar anti foul unit to install.
I was looking at Flir but have been put off by sheer size of them and will go radar but not until next Summer before I venture over the English Channel to France.
Pictures would have been helpful but sadly most have been over the size permitted and I need to work out what I’m doing with this. YouTube videos will be coming especially as I’ve just got a drone.
