      All,

      I’m stoked – here is my Danforth after spending 2 months with Viking instruments.

      If is the same during our electric conversion.  Those damn throttle and trans levers were a pain to remove!  I sanded and repainted the pedestal while at it.
      Have you designed your “throttle” (pot switch) yet?

      Nice work.

       

      For those who have an air-bubble in their compass, the oil in there is isopar, a common solvent used in the printing industry.  You can also buy it from West Marine, sold as compass oil. 

       

      Getting rid of that bubble is a bit of a pain, but with patience and an eye-dropper you can fill the thing and get rid of that pesky bubble.
