So medical issues, a baby being born, and selling a house really get in the way of boat building!
With all that mostly behind me, I am back at work on 'Lil Stream! Mid-Stream is stored away in a barn at my I had a quite weekend planned and got an extra free Hurricane Day off from work so I was busy working in the new garage.
I don't know what happened to the pictures but I took most of Jacques advice and cut some foam to relieve tension on the sides. A little persuasion from reversed clamps to spread the waves out and foam poured and hardened took care of most of it.
Not having installed a fishfinder/GPS before, I ASSumed that you could run the power and transducer wiring in the same chase tube. What I read on the subject convinced me it was a no go but I had already poured the foam! Nothing a multitool won't fix! You can also see the overdrilled hole that is now fillled.
I used coroplast (think political sign material) to make most of the blocking because I could not tape around the holes. Worked great! I could cut to fit tightly and just slide it where it was needed using the foam to hold it tight.
I needed to make a curved chase so I packed a irrigation pipe (thin wall pvc) with sand and heated it with a heat gun. Worked fairly well with very minor kinks! Regular PVC works better for bending but the walls take up room and weight.
I was getting low on breakfast sandwiches and a bit tired of them. I bought the fixings for breakfast burritos and turned to the skillet when it was too hot in the garage. They are my family's favorite breakfast.
