Day 96: Horseshoe Bay, Magnetic Island

Still doing battle with the engine electrics - mainly to with charging and maintaining the batteries.

First job was to replace all the globes on the engine control panels. These appear to be critical for both state indication, and for setting some voltage levels. Whatever, they could do with swapping and a cleanup.

There's 10 globes in that lot somewhere.

A bolt sheared on the starboard alternator a few days ago and I got a replacement. Put it on today. All seems to be working well, though whether the starboard engine charges the battery is still hit and miss. This will be the subject of a big investigation when I get home.

New bolt - hoping it stays put this time.
