OK, so I was leaning over into the ice box trying to
bend the copper tubing when, POP, went the bicep in my
right arm. Been 3 weeks and I still have trouble lift
a pot of coffee let alone turn a wench. Even going to
the bathroom is a chore. (guys joke). Going to see a
doctor this week, I am extremely worried about the
upcoming season and my winching arm.
Sucks to get old and stupid at the same time.
Rum and Vocodin anyone? Although even that hurts as I
am a right hand drinker.

Just so I have an idea how long I have before falling apart – how old are you?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reminder on the hatch boards. All of mine have also been off
for most of the last year. In the back of my mind, I have always known it
was another accident waiting to happen, especially when I leave the boat at
night in the dark, after turning off the AC switches and move forward to the
salon companionway. I have half fallen in twice now, but have managed to
grab something both times before going all the way in. As you said. I would
feel pretty stupid if I did serious injury to myself, knowing the hazard was
there all along. I knew wearing socks on deck was a safety issue, but
didn’t take the time to put on my deck shoes, as I seemed to be up and down
the ladder and companionway 10 – 20 times each day. I slip off my winter
boots or street shoes at the bottom of the ladder and would go up the ladder
in my socks. For a while, I was slipping on my deck shoes as I got on the
boat, but had stopped doing that lately.When looking for a boat to buy, I came across a few where the owner had been
injured while working on it and now had their retirement dream up for sale.
Our Workmen’s Compensation Board has a campaign on now stating that there
are no accidents, just preventable injuries. It is easy to see many examples
of this while working on the boat. I know that I am just one of many of us
that wants to get to the position of Joe, and to be able to sign off my
e-mails saying I am at anchor in some paradise location.As far as Alan goes, being a left handed person, I invite you to come over
to the dark side. Try using your left hand. Sometimes the change feels good

Hello friends. Boat was launched this week. After 7 years I have most of the
kinks out. The one thing I cannot figure out is, there must be an easy way
to get water out of the icebox in place of a bailer. In addition, I have a
pump pedal on the floor below the sink. There seems to be a multi function
valve associated with the pump line. Can anyone fill me in? It appears the
page describing this is missing from my owner’s guide.Many thanks.

If yours is like mine (#99), The foot switch is for pumping fresh water from the tanks to the faucets in the event of an electric or pump failure- Some valve changing ( gate valve under sink) is required.
But, to pump the refrig/ice box out one uses the hand pump on the sink ( that pumps sea water ordinarily for rinsing dishes) after throwing a valve on the after wall of the undersink space ( toward the center of the boat) Sometimes that hand pump is hard to prime and you have to open it, stretch the rubber plunger and put grease or vaseline on it.) I had a Pearson 35 for 20+ years and it had the same system as the 424 so it may well be the same on yours.

JON, thanks for the speedy response. I am printing it as I leave now for the boat. God bless and thanks.

Torn rotator cuff. I guess from lifting the 50 lb inverter while lying on my back trying to reach in the wiring closet. Makes it hard to sleep, but the advice from the docs at the bar ” you just gotta work through it “. Also like Joe said, only they suggest red wine instead of rum and vicodin.
I have to agree with Bob Fine’s comment about Jack Rabbit marine from his blog. Peter was very helpful when I was looking to buy. The web site is helpful and encourages you to call for advice. I purchased a Victron Multiplus inverter charger, remote control, some fuses, buss bars, battery switch and an ACR. I received most of my order in two weeks. The inverter did not show up for a while. My emails did not get answered and by the time I finally got through on the phone I was worried. I received the inverter and remote and the next day I got another inverter with a packing slip that said the remote control was on back order. I shipped the second one back and they reimbursed me for the shipping. When I got to the boat with the battery switch the breaker for the house power was broken. After two tries I got a replacement that would fit in the panel. At this point I realized from being in the service sector that I was becoming ” that customer “. I finally got the inverter in and wired on Friday. The installation instructions are minimal but it is fairly simple to install an inverter. The temp sense was the last thing that needed to be wired and the screw blocks on the circuit board of the inverter are missing. I was in a hurry because I needed to get back home to work and got frustrated and just left. It’s possible that the blocks are in the plastic bag that had the fuses and instructions in it. But I didn’t look, in a hurry you know. Now I think that if I don’t turn on the charger the temp sense wire not being hooked up will not matter and I still can go on with the engine install. Hopefully the blocks are in the bag. No joy, I checked today and they are missing. I called at 09:30 and again at 16:15 and no answer. Maybe I’m paranoid but I think I’ll borrow a waitress’s phone tomorrow and see if they will answer.
I have stripped out a ton of old wires. The wiring from the Lectra San is going to lighten the boat enough to even out the weight for the extra batteries.
I just gotta say I envy Rich for having the boat in the back yard, I have to drive an hour and a half to the boat; and Pete for his organizational skills he gets more done in a weekend traveling from Colorado than I get done in three months. Pete someday I’d love to see the air compressor/ generator installed it looks like a fantastic item.
Just needed to vent, hope I didn’t tie up your email
Today is the day! I tossed ten gallons in the new tank and then on to the boat yard to drop in the engine.New engine room with muffler and air cooled battery box.
I had to extend the back wall to hang the inverter in the wiring closet.
The pins above the battery cable is where the temp sense should hook up
I’ve never had an original idea but I steal the best. Mirror copy of Rich’s design.
Finally made it to the boat yard

Jack Rabbit has a lot of great technical material and
such, but the prices are way too high. I prefer to
read all his ideas and then buy at GenuineDealz.com.
Nice work Linus…
