More work on the ICOM 803 SSB and Pactor mount

 We had to sand down a bit for the SSB mount because the previous spot was a little high. Then we used 3M 5200 to fasten the SSB mount to the hull. The mount being attached is only three stringers.

Re-fitting ICOM 803 SSB radio into space under nav station..

We will then remove the SSB bracket and plywood. Then using 3M 5200 we will go around the stringers where there may be voids etc. Then some paint and we put it back together.

 We could have fiber glassed the stringers in also but the 3M 5200 should hold this fine.

On the hull.

On the stringers.

Set in place till the 3M 5200 sets up.

  Then we used the paper template for the Pactor modem to mark off the four holes behind the radios and drilled them out. We made them big enough so we could adjust the Pactor modem to be aligned straight with the shelf.

 While doing this I ripped a wire off the terminal block that goes to the Standard Horizon Matrix GX2150 VHF radio.

I was in too much of a hurry to disconnect the radio from the terminal block as it was getting late.

Not a hard fix and we aill need to go back in and clean up the area and fasten the modem securely etc. It got late so we called it a night.

Drawer still opens fine!
