This is the fireworks show put on by the City of Sanford, Florida. The show is called Star Spangled Sanford. I started with the finale and then the show starts from the beginning if you want to watch from start to finish. Credit for the Thumbnail photo goes to my neighbors Techomadia.

I thought I would take a break from technical projects and do a fun one. I am adding LED Strip lights to the bridge of the boat. Below are links to the items I used.

The vents on the side of the boat leak water in to the bilge. I am working to eliminate water ingress as much as possible. I am going to attempt my first using a mold to make a fiberglass item. This collection box will redirect the water back through the vent while allowing bilge to still breath.

One of the items on the survey was to replace the hose for the drain on the starboard muffler. It was not that easy.

Since the Main generator cannot be fixed without removing it. I put some energy at the Standby Generator. It would run but would not make more than 10 VAC. After throwing some parts and voodoo at it I was able to make it work.

This is a basic DIY Dry Bilge system. It is basically a SEAFLO Diaphragm pump and a timer to draw a vacuum and pull the last bit of water out of the bilge. I mounted the timer and pump in a box and put it down in the forward bilge. It discharges to the forward sump for the showers. Since the water flow is not much. This was some of my first footage and not the best. Sorry The link for the websi...

The alternator failed on my Starboard Engine. It only took me over a year to figure it out. I was having issues with the battery charger running 45 minutes every hour. Also, at night on the fly bridge the ignition light was glowing even when the power was off to the engine. You could hear the hobbs meter tick but it would not move and by mistake I had put my hand on the voltage regulator and it...

The aft sanitation pump failed and this is my attempt to repair the pump without removing it.

The current configuration of the vacuum pumps are a mess. I am going to reconfigure and use PVC where ever possible to eliminate the flexible pipes and achieve a smaller footprint.

The holding tank was having issues with pump out. We had to open it up and see what the problem was. Facebook : BlackjackLadyMY

I had a fuel leak on the transfer pump and rebuilt it. During the priming process I unknowingly let the raw water backup in to the combustion chambers. I removed the head and had it rebuilt. This video shows me cleaning up the heat exchanger and replacing the head and attempting to start the generator. Facebook : BlackjackLadyMY

Meet Blackjack Lady, a quick tour of the boat I purchased in June of 2018. The intro on the video is a quick view of the trip from Panama City Beach Florida to Sanford Florida. We went non-stop to Clearwater, then Fort Meyers, crossed the canal to Clewiston, on to Port St. Lucie, Port Canaveral, Palm Coast, up to Jacksonville and on the St John's River to Georgetown and finally to Sanford.
