Fuel Gauge

Don Gallant finally (after 14 or 15 month) got around to fixing the instrument panel for the Yanmar. Also he fixed the fuel gauge which has not worked in 15 years. I was usually, but not always, able to keep track of the fuel in my head. As I get older I can not do so. Besides where we are going running out of fuel could be a problem. The whole effect is very nice and looks new. The tachometer still does not work, but I have learned to use the sound as my tach.

Jan is doing a nice job on the wood. It is now perfectly clean after strip ease and two part teak cleaner. She is planning to use 6+ coats of Z-spar Captain varnish. White Pepper will look better than when I bought her.
