This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.

New Windlass Foot Switch

In preparation  for the reinstatement of the electric anchor windlass I installed a new deck foot switch. 


Hole Cut Through Deck

New Switch in Place
Switch on Bedding Compound and Finished
When I had the boat re teaked in Mexico I elected to leave out the foot switch pending the reinstatement.  Thus the first task after purchasing the new switch was to cut a hole of 63 mm diameter through the deck with no mistakes.

Robert,

It looks like all will be well in the end.

As to "Mr. X", after following your blog for many years, in cases like this you've been right far more times than you've been wrong.

Best wishes,
Simeon
