On a happy note, I mentioned my compass issue to a dock mate and low and behold he had an old compass he had been trying to get rid of and he was happy to give it to me. It's in great shape, so I guess i'll have two, which I wanted anyway.
I removed the steering compass from the bulkhead. The dome was severely crazed and all the fluid was gone. Luckily Ritchie has a factory refurbish program where for a flat rate they will make the unit 'like new'. About half the cost of a new unit. I shipped it to them this morning.

I've been working to restore the electrical system, replacing just about everything in Ava. It's been an amazing learning curve but luckily I have some wiring and power experience.
Yesterday I was able to turn the engine over with the key. I didn't try and start it, the new fuel tank isn't hooked up yet, but it was very satisfying to here the Atomic four crank. |
