Comments by Doug
On a cold winter day, it's nice to have the heater warming up the cabin.

Yesterday, I rebuilt the Henderson MK V, Whale Pump. It was an easy enough task. I just hope I put it back together properly. I had a couple of "wait ... now which way did that part go?"-moments. It's a two-person job to re-install the pump in the cockpit; one inside the boat and one on deck.

Last week, Dave mounted the remote battery switches and connected some of the wiring on the Isolation transformer. Most of the major components are in place, now its time to get things wired back together.
