VHF

It is nice to be doing a few jobs that do not involve sanding or fibreglass. One of these jobs is installing a fixed VHF radio.

This picture shows where I have mounted it, in the starboard hull. I will be putting all electronics/switches for both hulls in this area so that they can be operated from outside by just leaning in to the cabin without having to go inside.

 

 

In this picture you can just see how I have made the hole for the cable. I drilled an oversize hole, then filled it with epoxy filler then drilled a smaller hole through the epoxy so hopefully this won't get water/rot problems later.

And here the aerial is fixed in position.
