Little by little things move along. Window installation has started and the windscreen wiper set up and going.

Electrics
Almost everything electrical is up and running.
Still awaiting an anchor light, switch for the light under the sink and need to install the fridge.
Oh yes. Have to fill and test the hydraulic steering before trying the Autopilot. GPS & Radar seem to work well. Very pleased with Furuno.

Pipes and Wires
Our Beta 35 is mounted in our 10m motor boat, Spindrift. Now installing fuel lines and hoses also supplied by The Engine Room - Our number one Marine supplier. Thanks for the first class service.
The hose is off at the fuel transfer pump as I want to suck up measured amounts of diesel so that I can calibrate the fuel gauge and mark the amounts on the 80 litre header tank at top left of the photo.
I am also pulling electric cable. All the heavy cables are run and terminated. The engine cranks and the windlass runs. Moving on.

Main Cabin is mostly finished
I just have lino, another coat of varnish on the cabin beams, (Melva will do this) and lights.

Windlass and Spice Racks
The Nilsson Maxwell RC10 windlass is installed. The black things in line are skids for the chain. The bow roller is three metres from the windlass. Tested for auto release of the anchor and all works well.
The last picture is of spice racks for the galley cupboard. Currently being painted. They were originally music tape racks on the old Spindrift. Now modifies for the new Spindrift
