Since it pretty much rained all last week, Frank got antsy and built us a NavPod using a tupperware container as a mold. NavPods tend to be expensive, and since we had the materials to build one, Frank just went ahead and did it. He found a 3 gal rubbermaid "rough neck" container that perfectly fit our Raymarine C-90 chartplotter. He was able to use that as a base mold for it. It still looks a bit like a tupperware container, but for $5, I aint complaining.
After that was done and since it was still raining, he installed us a new stereo system. We had the stereo itself from our old boat, and it simply needed new speakers. The new system pumps out decent sound, has a plug for an i-pod, and is seamlessly integrated into our DC system. Now I all I need is a disco ball so I can have my solo dance parties in style. Next rainy day I'll have to convince Frank that we need one dangling from our butterfly hatches.
The NavPod turned out pretty good. Nice way to hide the extra wires in the back of the plotter.
