Shore things

Hello! Happy Sunday :)

It's been a programming-and-get-ready-for-the-dry-dock kinda week, so on Tuesday I ordered gallons of orange paint. I can't wait. 😈

And in another instance of "Uhh have you considered doing it yourself?", I was looking at the deck thought yes, I should absolutely do that too (it's rusty with holes in). I thought about having a marina do it, but the price was steep and they're busy. A bit of steel, cover the holes, some fresh paint; a day's work.... ahem.

Otherwise I've done more of the wiring, and the 10-tonne hydraulic crimper I got is awesome. Then the shore power inlet:

Which I'll fit properly after painting, but then I connected it and nothing worked :(

Luckily the first place I checked was also the last:

And since fixing that green lights came on:

Ish — it bulk charges okay, but the inverter/charger isn't registering the battery state so it doesn't know when to stop. Next week's debugging... and there are also too many exposed terminals for mine or anyone's liking.
