Sailboat renovation

Freezer box and new electrical panel

May 18, 2020 /

A couple of days, since our last update here. We have been busy with boatwork. So thought it was time for a small update what has been going on lately. What we been focusing on is to finish our fish freezer (earlier blog posts about that can be found here) as we got the last pieces of wood needed. We ordered most of the wood we’ve used from a local carpenter.

Starting to make a frame for the freezer.
The frame for the freezer box.
The frame in position together with the top cover.
Everything oiled with lin-seed oil for protection and to make it look nice.
Starting to make a lid for the freezer. A piece of insulation glued onto a piece of plywood. And then some nice wood on the sides to make it fit the frame we just made. 
Time to glue all pieces together.
We also added a layer of epoxy on the inside of the lid, so the insulation doesn’t start to fall apart and to make a nice clean surface. We will later paint the blue inside white and attach a handle on the lid as well.

We have also started to make a new electrical panel. On the old one there were several things we didn’t need and no room for some new items we wanted to have. So we made a new one.

Figuring out where to position everything.
Almost all holes cut out. Next up will be to oil it and then attach all panels.

We also hope that we soon will be able to haul out and then it will be a couple of weeks of hard work to get everything ready below the waterline.
