We decide to put the Magic Box (electrical box) on the hull screwed to the Ceader lining. We were thinking of putting it up under the shelf but it got too complicated and hard to get at. I would also be hard to get at any wiring etc if something went wrong, it never does but just in case J
The March pump and the 110 volt wiring with the 20 amp breaker connect to the magic box(MB).
The MB will need to be secured better and the wire connections will get water proofed with liquid electrical tape when it is proven to run OK.
We made up a 20 amp breaker mount and painted it up.
We used some marine 1/2 plywood.
Because we can not get at the wires if we installed them between the drawers and the hanging locker we chose to have them run out from the breaker and directly to the magic box. This way we can secure them properly behind the breaker and onto the mount and then onto the hanging locker bulkhead.
We found another spot
to foam, around the dorad hose going into the engine room. It passes under the
AC to the bilge and at that spot needed to be sealed. Debbie did that and we
secured all the wiring under the AC platform and installed the platform with
six screws.
We wired up the 20 amp breaker and somewhat secured the wires to the MB but ran out of wire tie screws.
We also ran out of screws for the breaker mount.
We then put the AC unit back in and screwed it in with one screw. It was past time to quit by this time, after 7:00PM and it was hot especially leaning over into the hanging locker for some hours.
After admiring our work we relized that we forgot one hose. So darn it we need to remove the AC unit and the platform again and remove some foam so we can run a air bleed hose through to the bilge.
Oh well, more work on plumbing and ducking today and maybe we can fire it up. We are having a heat wave with temperatures in the 80’s +.
