White Swan - The Last Offshore 50

Today I’m upgrading the water heater from a six gallon tank to an eleven. Now both of us can take a shower without one having to wait for the water to get hot again!

I had a bilge pimp switch go bad so I decided to build a new switch tree. The bottom one is the main bilge pump switch, the next level has the auxiliary bilge pump switch and the high water bilge alarm switch. I put the auxiliary switch half an inch above the high water alarm switch so it would go off first.

Installed a new old table in the cockpit today. Might engineer a way for it to flip up or possibly be removed but right now I'll just enjoy it as is!

Installing the new Navico NAIS-400 AIS transponder and antenna splitter. I chose to install it behind the radios to keep it near the NMEA 2000 hub, VHF radio and have a short power run. I routed the USB cable down to where the laptop lives for whenever any diagnostics need to be done.
