extension for on off switch on the system board
Posted: Thu Aug 13, 2015 11:34 am
I like the removable system board, but switching on and off takes too much concentration - finding that little toggle switch on the board with my finger.
I shared this with a friend and he thinks it might be worth a try, so I will post it.
I slipped a 2 inch long piece of aluminum tube over the toggle of the switch. Now I can just wave my hand forward or aft inside the boat and turn the boat on or off. I pinched it a little, so it is a friction fit over the toggle. Make sure sheets cannot snag on it.
That fiberglass winch cover with the big plastic tab at the bottom. I needed to put a piece of scotch tape over the tab (taping it to the hull) to keep the jib sheet from hanging up under it. I put scotch pkg tape over the rough fiberglass as well. Not a fan of spectra rubbing on rough glass.
