Otto's brain is alive! We finished installing and wiring up the S1
Course Computer. Rudder sensor in wired, Flux Gate Compass wired. We
had to lift the floor board to run the cable. ST6002 Control Head
installed on the pedestal guard. Stopped at Harbor Freight on the way up
a got a set of Cobalt drill bits and a set of center drills and making
the hole in the pedestal guard was remarkably easy. Snaking Seatalk
cable was not quite as easy. The pedestal guard was pretty full with
the Seatalkng cable, we ended up pulling the pedestal guard and working
the cable first to the floor and then through the floor. Finally got
it. Powered up and we have life! Next trip up will be to put the drive
motor cable through the floor and install the Seatalk to Seatalkng
converter, fish the GPS power/data cable down the port side tube and
adding the NEMA lines to the S1. The Seatalkng cables are significantly
bigger than the seatalk and the PO ran separate cables for the wind and
tridata (on either side of the pedestal guard).
We are getting close to commissioning the new installation. More to come.
