The cracked rudder after grinding out and before 2 layers of GRP and 5 coats of West Epoxy.

The port side cabin locker epoxied ready for the batteries.

The 4 batteries fitted. The engine starting battery is in the engine bay.

I cut away the divider to make better access and added a suport brace underneath.

I fitted a rv water filter before the pump and a 10A battery charger in the same locker.

the water pump and end panel to seperate the batery box from the rest of the locker.

The two valves relpaced the 4 way valve as it leaked.

I also added a baffle in the floor to stop the shower water from getting into the port side to keep the main bilge dry. The shower floor has its own automatic pump..
