Connected the CCU and GHC 10 to NMEA 2000 network

We connected the CCU to the NMEA 2000 network along with the GHC 10 display.
We also staked some wiring down and re-positioned the NMEA 2000 network.

Some of the NMEA 2000 network by the fuel fill hose to the diesel tank below the cockpit.

This is not permanent. It may be a good location but until we get the autopilot drive installed we just do not know. We are hoping for the end of next week on the autopilot install.

Some of the wiring to still be connected. Not as complicated as it looks. 

Some of the wires are not used. We will cut them off and tape them up, the ones not used.

AIS wiring that needs re-connecting and routing etc.

Back of GHC 10 display in cockpit.

Also added another fuse to the 12v plug in the cockpit.

There is still some wiring to be connected.

Also some NMEA 2000 cables to shorten but the shortening will wait till the autopilot is working and the setup is confirmed.

Looking into the starboard lazerett.

Of course to do this work we need to completely empty the lazerett each time so we can climb in. Yesterday I was in there for at least two hours. Not all at one time but close. At my age or physical condition or both I need to plan on how may times I can climb in and out and how long I can stay folded up etc :)


Now we need to connect the yellow wire from the CCU to the yellow wire to the GHC 10 harness. Then run the wires to the alarm. The alarm is not necessary to get the autopilot to work though. It does make the autopilot easier to trouble shoot.
 We also disconnected the AIS wiring and will re-connect it permanently and shorten the wires and stake them down. Also the same with the power to the Garmin 740 chart plotter
