Got to spend some time on the boat at the dock today. My wife joined me and her uncle helped clarify for me the rather complex electrical system.
Since we're not at a marina with a bunch of other boats, we're able to keep the shore power going which means a dehumidifier can run constantly and batteries remain fully charged. We also have the ability to leave the refrigerator on if we stock beer (and maybe some other stuff).
We also examined the Yanmar diesel to find out where to replace the engine zincs. After much searching we couldn't find anything that looked exactly like the diesel's manual showed for zincs. Thanks to some online searching by Thom, we learned that's because there aren't any! The 3GM30F is freshwater cooled (the F) and apparently doesn't have any zincs. Cool. One less thing to maintain.
We brought some other stuff to the boat today, too. The rest of the life vests, a hot water kettle and related "just add water" food stuffs, a toolkit, a couple shoe hangers which make for great closet shelves for rolled up clothes, and cleaning supplies.
So that was a good couple of hours. Looking forward to having the new interior cushions and just hanging out at the waterfront guest house.
