Not much activity here lately. Anyone planning any projects on their 309's this winter? I'll start...

Maintenance/Repair: Replace fridge AC rectifier (again... Found that Defender sells them for 60 bucks); replace drain fitting in head sink (original is chrome plated plastic, corroded/leaks, and is nearly impossible to find a replacement for due to unusual size of the drain hole in the sink).

New Projects: Install WiFi antenna/amplifier on backstay, run cable into lazaret to underdeck wireless router; finish fabricating bracket to install LED bow lights on pulpit (stern light already installed); finish installing high bilge water alarm; fabricate some sort of holddown system for the dual-4D house battery bank.

Pics as things get done.
