Lab finished... Boat work (in between)... Next lab


This is a USGS boat they use up and down the delta and bay to pick up monitors and sensors for various on going studies and research projects.


It is about 37 feet and very nice and rugged. Our task is to hook up a foot switch, with attaching plug, that will be used to operate a winch. In addition, we will mount a panel inside the center console that holds two solenoids, breaker and terminal blocks.




This is the center console. Just below is a cabinet that the solenoids for the electric crain will be attached. This is a great boat! The computer in the picture is attached to gps and a sonar with ability to up load maps through an SD card.




The solenoids mounted to a fiberglass plate is mounted and wired in.




The reason we are here, The aluminum pipe holds a crain that has an electric motor attached. The foot switch below runs to the solenoids in the console then back through a plug to the wench.




The plug for the wench. This way the wench can be stowed away or a replacement one can be used.
