10 Meter Projects - UPDATE

Post by gdcardoza »

Hey all,

Figured I'd share my spring projects for my 10 Meter! I will obviously follow up with photos of everything in the coming weeks, but here's the list;

i. Installation of new A/C unit
ii. Installation of new interior (being redone as we speak)
iii. Installation of full Fusion Audio system with remotes
iv. Installation of full Lumitec underwater lighting (upgrading from SeaBlaze3 to SeaBlazeX)
v. Installation of Lumitec interior and exterior courtesy lights
vi. Installation of synthetic teak/cork decking

In the meantime, have a look at the Powerboat Television episode I was featured in explaing/installing my new cork flooring product.

I'm featured at 16:30 in the program

Graham, a couple of observations for what it's worth; that is not the type of hose you should be using for any raw water intake system, I would not recommend the plastic seacock, the vent duct should be the insulated type, all hose ends need to be double clamped, and when you mount that raw water pump, it should be just above the water line as they have a small plug in a water passage that could pop off, seen this happen several times. If the plug pops out and the pump is mounted below the water line, you will take on water. The result is a small stream of water about 1/4 inch diameter but water none the less.....for what it's worth :wink:

Yup, that intake hose will over time start to collapse. If you need to keep it try a 90 degree fitting at the seacock to prevent that crease that seems to be forming from the weight of the hose.
