| 406Mhz EPIRB | ACR Hydrostatic Released RLB-23 EPIRB (This one looks like a torpedo on deck! It is an older, huge model) While still fully functional the RLB-23 is almost 10 years overdue for a new battery and the battery is very expensive. I am removing the housing from the deck. | ||||

| Navigation Lights | Masthead | Aqua Signal Series 40 Tricolor/Anchor with detachable base (40706-7). The removable base makes servicing much easier by just removing it from the top of the mast, working on it on the deck and reinstalling it when finished. I use a 25W tricolor and a 10W anchor light. | |||
| Steaming Light/ Foredeck Light |
Aqua Signal with 25W steaming light and 50W halogen foredeck light. The foredeck light is also known as the "weenie roaster" as you could cook hot dogs on the foredeck with this thing. It is great for picking up moorings as it lights up the water about 15 feet in front of the boat but does not blind the person on the helm. Also useful for repairs at sea in the middle of the night on the foredeck! | ||||
| Bow Lights | Perko Chrome lights. (0963DP). For some reason these lights give me no end of trouble. I replaced them some time ago with the more modern bulb system but they still require quite a bit of maintenance to keep them operating. Generally corrosion if the contacts or the bulb cracked. | ||||
| Stern Light | Perko Chrome light (0945DPCHR), the same comments apply to this light as for the deck level bow lights above. | ||||
| Abandon Ship Gear | Liferaft | 6 Man life raft with inflatable floor, self inflating arch, integral arch light. Weighs 46lbs and is stored below decks in a special locker just inside the companionway hatch. | |||
| Ditch Bag | Additional components for life raft including paddles fishing kit, and the like. Not packed with the life raft to help keep the weight reasonable (don't believe that adrenalin will help you move a 95 pound life raft, try it with a broken arm or a light weight crew member). | ||||
| Flare Kits | 2 Pains Wessex Waterproof Storage Bottles
PW56800 containing: 24 Mk 3 Red Parachute SOLAS Fares PW50570 2 Mk 5 Orange LIfesmoke PW53695 4 Mk 7 White Hand flares 4 Mk 7 Red Hand flares 2 Kits Red, Green, White Chemical Lightsticks |

| Tank | 85 Gallon Custom Holding Tank All fittings on top of tank, separate fittings for inlet, pump out, and discharge, two vents, two clean outs. All fittings custom located. This is the only way to go, no contorted hoses, no difficult installation. |
||||
| Discharge Pump | SeaLand 12V SaniPump 270GPH (317301200) | ||||
| Y-Valve | NONE! With two separate fittings for removing waste this becomes unnecessary, the head goes straight to the tank, then the waste is removed as necessary. | ||||
| Hose | Sealand Odersafe Hose (306342871), it is not cheap but it sure keeps the oders down. | ||||
| Shower Waste | Whale Gulper 220 Pump. Amazing little pump and it works very well. | ||||
| Bilge Pumps | Electric Lower Bilge | Jabsco 8 GPM Belt Driven Diaphragm Pump JABSC#0000-34600 | |||

||||
| Man Overboard Gear | Lifesling | Lifesling in white rigid case (A-LSRECCG-CS) | |||
| MOB Marker Pole | Self Inflating pole with safety gear. | ||||
| Man Overboard Prevention | Automatic Inflatable Vest With Integral Harness |
SOSpenders Automatic Inflating Vest With SOLAS
Grade Integral Harness.
These are extremely comfortable, even in the tropics, in rough weather I wear it in the bunk to make running up on deck happen more quickly. |
|||
| Teathers | Custom made for each crewmember, one short and one long clip, the long almost touches the deck, the short is about 2 feet long. | ||||

||||
| Drinking Water Filtration | OMNI Total Filtration System This is a three chamber filtration system with ceramic first stage to remove biological pests, the second stage removed hazardous materials like lead, the final stage is a carbon filter for taste. The result is water that tastes as good as most bottled water. Note that it needs to be used. If the boat is left for several months tastes can develop. |
