[Rhodes22-list] bow light on pulpit

[Richard Stott]

HI Graham
I rebuilt my galley this year and have attached a few pics.
The top is Corian I got for free - a scrap from a large job by a solid surface contractor I know. 
I used the old one for a template.
The Mahogany is 5/4 x 4 decking that I cut up - its cheap and looks great - I have Teak oiled it since photo and it looks even better. 
The Plexi is thin - 1/8” from Home Depot (I got that for free too, because the check out could not find a price or skew)  and stiffened with the 1/2 x 1” mahogany strips.
The tracks are the same mahogany with carbide tip saw cuts, which were the perfect width for the thin plastic. 
I was worried that the plexi was too thin, but it works and looks great, and the price was right. 
I cut a piece to fit over the original Coleman cooler and it looks pretty good too. 
I bought on-line,  a set of three pull out plastic drawers, 24” total height, which fit perfectly into the space the right of the sink. 
I would add a better faucet and pressure pump and foot pump too in my perfect world, but this works fine for now. 
I made the swing out bracket for the GPS out of mahogany too and it works great. 
Those cups under the counter top are for ‘under-counter' lights that I planned to install, but I have since decided to install  LED strip lights instead. 
The switches to the left are for 4 mast lights, Steaming - Anchor - Down Light - Windex light. 
The main Panel is located under the Companionway, as the original.

Installation does not require welding of a mount to the pulpit and allows for the light to be rotated down out of the way when the mast is resting on the pulpit. The wiring is fed through a hole in the rail and down through the foot of the bow rail into the cabin V birth. It might not be the sturdiest arrangement and only time will tell whether this arrangement is adequate.

Now for the interior... I think the end is within sight.
