some of the electrics under the console, i have glassed in some marine ply, then flo coated over the top to ensure all blends in and then have attached the electrics to this to save on drilling holes thru the console which looks a bit unsightly to me. you can see the amp for the stereo in the picture. i have two waterproof 3 gang switch panels that are fused but because i want everything fused separately then i am running separate fuses to each item of equipment as well hence the busbar running to another fuse gang. This is temporary until i fine the right type of fuse holders but i think they will do for now. i am going to try an mp3 player running straight into the amp then powering 150w jvc waterproof speakers. quite a bit more wiring to finish off yet and need to trim off the tywraps.
round bit under the console is the air temp sensor

here is the fuelfiller assembly now all nicely glassed and flocoated in

speakers are built into the base of the console

seems to have been pouring down with rain recently so have built the console out indoors in the warm!

paddle wheel and water temp sensor and garmin transducer now fitted, i have run the cables thru the elephant trunks so a shorter run up the transome and then the wires will go horizontal into the transome boxs, all will be fibreglassed and flocoated in so they cant be seen and to maintain the waterproofing

trunking for the engine and the steering pipes, not finished yet properly due to the weather, so is hanging down a bit at the moment, but no pipes or wires will be visable!

thanks for the pm

yes all cables are crimped, tinned and soldered to prevent salt water ingress

Tony, thanks for the comment, must be all that spare time on my hands after taking a well earned break from ribnet!!!

actually i was an aircraft engineer for 10 years so all this type of stuff is a nice bit of fun and an nice diversion from my current business role in life.

is one of the reasons why i was keen to build out the boat myself, so everything is done to my spec...same as the house extension i have built/finishing.

Nice fit out - it will be a shame to get it wet after all that work!
When do you expect to finish it?

Ok as Garfie cant let on his source and he probably does not know what he is referring to anyway and probably picked up the glassing issue from my signature then I will share what i did wrong anyway as those who know me know if have nothing to hide....

ok a couple of the mistakes i made that hopefully you wont repeat if you need to do glassing
do
rub down any flo coat to remove any waxy layer that come to the surface as it sets, this will give the new glass/flocoat a good foot hold
keep the glass resin or flocoat reasonably warm, ie not stone cold or minus temp
keep it all dry and out of the rain while it sets and is still "green"

dont
let water mix in iwth the resin or the glassfibre mat get wet while applying
dont let the mix get tooo cold if doing outside as it will take an age to set
dont glass in the rain!!

mistakes i made

when putting some extra boarding in the console base for the first bit i did it outside in the cold and expected the hardener to do its work but it took ages to set, also i may have swished in a bit of water into the glass fibre by mistake as it was wet outside or the constant rain just got onto the resin and caused the problem that way, trying to catch up on time and doing it outside at midnight is not the best option. Luckily i had only done the first of 4 bits.

so when it set there were patchs that were soft from the water and mike explained that it just wont set ever so i took it all out, cut away all the new resin, re prepped the surface, then put a heater in the console, re glassed in some resin treated marine ply and allowed it to dry in a warm dry environment which had a fan blowing on it as well with some gentle heat. then i flo coated over the top after all had set nicely and the jobs a good un.

as i have had to work outside it has been a bit tricky but a halogen heater with a fan dispersing the heat around and keeping the temp to around 20-25 degrees works wonders

all the other glassing i have done has been inside in the warm so that is the best place believe me!!

Hve done quite a few bits more glassing since and it is going well so hopefully you wont make the mistake i did initially.

oh and ps, i havent cut any holes too big as originally mentioned by garfie!! well not yet anyway!!
