Sunken boat project.

Can i confirm…..everything electrical is going?

Those push switches are on ali express for pennies. N2K cabling might be saveable as its meant to be ip67 but thats shallow submersion for 30mins

Cheap Chinese switches in a marine environment is going to be troublesome in my view.

But you pays your money and takes your choice.

Great project BTW

I thought that but they are stainless (allegedly). I often wonder where the main stream ones come from anyway

Stainless, an ambiguous term.

Good luck to you, not difficult to replace later on anyway.

Just buy cheap, buy twice.

Not nerissily.....

The nav light works. Horn, plotter gauges all seems ok.

The wiring and switches will need replacement.

I actually doubt that a replacement loom is available.

I suspect they run cables during construction then terminate as required.

I'll need to remove the plotter and sound amplifier to get better access, it's tight.

I was amazed that nothing went bang when I connected the battery.

Tomorrow I'll see if I can rig a fuel tank and put bigger battery back after charging.

I need to tighten the spark plugs as I only hand tightened them after inhibiting cylinders.

I've rescued the table and it's new as the previous owners bought a teak one.

The helm seat and pedestal are ready to attach, the lift mechanism was stiff so a squit of cf50? Corrosion inhibitor worked.

Update

I mostly fixed the helm seat and pedestal before the driver bit shattered..

The previous owner was short and had a custom pedestal fitted. So the original one was left in the boat.

I tightened all spark plugs, refitted the ignitors and connectors.

Tried starting to no avail. But it turns over nicely.

I also thought the fuel tank was full of salt water but when I pumped it into a container it's all petrol.

I'm ordering a new 110 a battery as the original ones are 5 years old and even showing 12.8 v after charging they are weak.
