Boat Work Day results

Summary from Nathan

 

Electrical summary:
       Nav Lights deck level - Ok.
       Cabin lights - loose connection stbd, fixed. Ok.
       Compass - need to check at night (day too bright)
       GPS - ok
       VHF - ok, and receives GPS data for AIS
       Instruments - ok
       Raymarine Autotiller - no sign of life. Either socket isn't getting power or autotiller is dead. Diagnose.
       "cigarette lighter" (charger)- gets power, used for various 12V
personal electronics
       SSB plug - has power. SSB plug end a little corroded.

Autpilot sound in rudder, compass angle, apparent wind angle modes even though it was giving weird 'low power' warnings. So need to check connections for NKE autopilot, including whether it just needs bigger wires
