This week we go over the new fuel system and share the design, considerations and draw and return process. While normally you think fuel is not all that complicated, and ours isn’t, there was still a lot to consider. 3 diesel tanks, electric fuel pump, dual Racor filter boss, generator, primary engine and return fuel, it all needed to be considered.
We show the beautiful welds that Nick dod on the stainless steel handrails. I put together the mizzen traveler carr and teak supports as well as clean the metal from years of old varnish.
I also sanded and applied an additional coat of Awlwood MA on the toe rails, cap rails and spindles.
Oh and some bloopers because apparently talking is hard. lol
