Today I added a second screen to fill a blank part of the dashboard that looked a bit out of place. This was a 23 inch 1080p HDMI monitor. Right now it is just displaying the same thing as the NSS16 in the dashboard to the right, but once we get the fly bridge NSS9
When we purchased the Bayliner 4788 motoryacht it had many of the original electronics that it had when it rolled off the factory floor 25 years ago. There were a couple additions with a chart plotter, and another depth finder, which appeared to be complete rubbish, and did not fuction. Here are some of the
Today I replaced 6 more of the old light fixtures in the kitchen, three along the window, and 3 under the cabinet. It looks like we need 16 more light fixtures to replace all the lights in the salon area. We accidently ordered some of the 39 lumen lights rather than the 45 lumen lights,

With this being the first winter of owning the 4788, I wanted to be sure that we don’t have any damage due to freezing. In the fall I posted about our monitoring computers that I had built to monitor the onboard temp and humidity. Then we had problems with the Webasto hydronic heater which is
The guest bathroom / head like many of the other lights on board has really yellowed lights, from plastic decaying over time, and some not so good led upgrades that had been put into them. Here is the before: And below is the after: Not only do we have better looking lights, but all 4
For the winter, we took off a number of the solar panels that would have been completely destroyed in wind storms, but we did place 2 inside the fly bridge enclosure to help keep the batteries topped off. Although they are just temporarily zip tied in place they are doing the job of keeping the
Our Westebeke 12k generator is critical in the operation of our boat as we spend quite a bit of time during the summer with no shore power. As part of our pre-season checklist one of tasks was replacing the fuel filter for the generator. I am starting the habit of marking the date changed with
