Could have been right, i always feel refreshed after a good jolt lol, Some call it electric shock theropy. I think they administer it in the nut houses. Hadnt better have too much of that lol.

First set back. The lower deck lighting has been a disaster, firstly i drilled one of the cables when fixing the handrails then i found that 2 of the 3 working LEDs flashed while the other stayed constant, then i decided to see if they would be brighter on 12v as 6 seemed very dim, guess what, yes you guessed it, i blew it. Now with only 2 working and one of them flashes i have decided to ditch the ones fitted and will make a modification within the hull to provide the lighting, this is a good thing as i can light up the hull portholes as a bonus.

I havent tried the wheel house lighting as yet but i will live with how it turns out. I have decided to fit as many rails as i can now ready for primer.

I can't believe you did that. well confessed to it. LOL-

Seeing that you have run the wires in conduits, cant you just change them?

Its looking very smart though.

Thanks Ian. Admitting your mistakes is part of the build in my opinion even if i do look like a plonker lol. I did think of a rewire but the CA would have secured the LEDs well in place and the other thing is that the light was a blueish colour also and nowhere near bright enough to light through the tinted windows. I think it has worked out ok in the end as 1 12v lamp in the hull will light up the lower deck and the hull protholes rather well.

Well i agree 415v gives you a bit of a wake up call :) been there done that ... more than once to my shame.

on the lighter side of it ... who needs an avo or multitester if you have a wet finger for testing live :) health and safety would have a field day if they saw half us sparkies working eh? :)

I'm actually rambling (sort of on topic) coz i've run out of new encouraging and positive things to say on this build... (between you and Ron my vocabulary is exhausted:))

Just get on with it and i'll look through me thesaurus for summot new to say :) :) :)

Ive done a little work on the rails and posts. These you have to put together yourself from 1.0mm and 0.8mm brass rod and some fine looking posts.

Put together with a little care and a keen eye and they look fantastic. There is no drawing to make these to so you have to go off the pics in the manual for reference.

I had made the air vent ducts earlier and now they are in place.
