Had to replace both knotmeter and depthsounder. The marina had to cut larger holes in the stbd bulkhead and bevel the thru'hull for the knotmeter. The boat was on the hoist so the marina guy lay full length on the port tank to install the transponders. Total time 5 hours!
Last night I went back to the boat and found a broken cabin light switch...the marina replaced it this morning.
All in all a VERY expensive weekend - and we didn't even get to race today with very high winds on the lake.

At least you have your own boat lift. It would cost me at least $200 just to get my boat lifted out of the water and then I would have to pay for the repairs.

If you're replacing factory lights, let me know. I have all mine in the garage and most of them still work. I replaced them with the round LED touch lights.

I replaced an engine room light, and the one WM had was very expensive, but I found that RV lights from an RV center were much cheaper, and equally serviceable.

Starboard crumbled, but port was just like new. I guess I should replace the Stbd windows next.
