Battery installation

It was time to make a safe arrangement for our batteries. Our battery box is a little bit bigger than our batteries, and we wanted to have some support in the box so that they won’t move when the boat tilts. We will have a some pieces of wood around the batteries in the box and an extra strap to tighten the batteries down.

We painted them white so that they will look nice 🙂

During the weekend it has been raining a lot here in Stockholm, which was a perfect opportunity to see if the cowl vents we repaired last weekend wasn’t leaking anymore. What we can see they are now sealed, which is really nice! We have also tried to look around in the boat to find if there are any more obvious leakages, but haven’t found any major ones at least. But we will keep our eyes open so that we can find and fix all possible leakages.

We also opened up our anchor box, as of now the anchor chain is just laying in the bottom of the anchor box (see below). We would like to have a box to gather the chain in so that this area is easier to keep clean and to make it possible to store other things here as well. And then we will need to clean this area and maybe paint it as well.
