Looking good Vas, ignore the naysayers
Fabulous stuff Vas. Much respect from here!
Are you sure gmi 10 will function as anchor alarm? I'm 99% sure that isn't correct. Please check x2 before installing it by you bed! At least, I never found that functionality working. Panbo dot com has, I vaguely recall, written about it but says it isn't functional. The sentences exist in n2k but afaik only maretron uses them eg in their dsm250 display

I never said it didn't look good, just that Vas's project management skills / forecasting seem to be lacking a little! Personally I think that working to a deadline can spoil the fun. I still have 999% respect for what Vas is doing.
Elephant in the corner time.....
My concern would be that getting it into the water too early might end up being counter productive (however strong the temptation is to tick that milestone off the list).

BTW, I shouldn't really say that, but my PhD was on construction management don't worry, never practiced or god forbid taught that, actually stopped bothering before even finishing it, and have been dealing with much more interesting stuff ever since
No worries, you are in good company, V.BTW, I shouldn't really say that, but my PhD was on construction management don't worry, never practiced or god forbid taught that, actually stopped bothering before even finishing it, and have been dealing with much more interesting stuff ever ince
I am 1000 percent sure that is ok. On match 2 I have some tees deliberately installed without any drop cables, for future ideasStill my main N2K question is if I can use two 2m drop cables with a T in between to lengthen the backbone between devices.

Yep, brilliant stuff Vas. The bow damage does not look good, but you have had a lot of practice at patching, so I'm looking forward to seeing the fix. I quite like your grey superstructure, but can't recall what your planned colour scheme is.
true, not saying that project management is not important, just not creative enough to keep me in it...I'm an IT Architect so can fully understand your desire for doing the interesting stuff and avoiding anything related to delivery / project management!
lol, true on very many fields MM, even some that traditionally employ management staffNo worries, you are in good company, V.
Each and every boat yard I dealt with aren't even aware of the construction management concept...
PS: I can only second the previous comments re. how nicely your project is shaping up, can't wait to see her finished...
thanks J, got the first bits of cabling in from the f/b down to the lower helm. Good thing is that I'm passing by the el/panel so will wire the NMEA2K 12V supply in there, good thing that the new GMI10s get their juice from the bus and don't need a dedicated supply!I am 1000 percent sure that is ok.

I'll look into anchor drag- thanks. The sentences exist so maybe garmin have started using them. I'm on boat now so will try it tomorrow. I don't think gmi10 contains any bleeper though...

Vas, all I can say is that you've got an awful lot more staying power than me. Tell us, has this refit become far more difficult and time consuming than you imagined or did you know you were going to have to put this much work into it? Have you got a relaunch target date in mind?
