Panelled and painted

Engine room is now repanelled, and second coat of paint on last night.

Managed to relocate the accumulator and mount the water pump before it got too late as well. The water pump previously was just laying loose on the shelf, held in place by nothing more than the length of the attached water pipes!

Removing the remaining bits on the engine room bulkheads was 'fun'.... Several things were nailed (yes, thats nailed) to it...

So today will be reconnecting the water supply and providing a properly routed power supply to the pump. I'll only do the cold side until i've got the calorifier... Will mean a trip to the chandlery for a bit of extra pipe, and to screwfix for a set of tap connectors.

I also mounted the new battery isolators. Only practical place is belpw the companionway steps, which isnt ideal from a 'getting wet' perspective, but i figure that if they are getting wet enough where they are to cause a problem, then we've probably got bigger problems!
