Yup, another project we’ve been wanting to do is redo the propane fitting on the back of the oven so it will gimbal properly. The fitting broke a couple years ago in Tonga and I installed a straight one because I couldn’t find a 90 degree angle. The result was the oven/stove worked fine, but at fairly high angle of heel, the fitting banged the cabinet. Found a 90 degree one, so today the oven is in the cockpit getting a new fitting and a cleaning. I actually didn’t think I would ever take this thing out, but it was actually fairly easy. Now getting it back in…
Had to rotate it 90 degrees to get it to fit out the companionway, but did it with inches to spare
Now Ann can get behind it to clean. First time we’ve been able to reach back here.
Without an oven, we could put in a new nav station.
You liked that antique biscuit tin so much I bet you just tossed the chocolate out – not!
That is a wonderful little quilt for a baby Ann. And I did notice you in the mirror taking the picture. There’s just no place to hid in this technology saturated world.
You gotta have your gimbals gimbal properly, especially when attached to a stove. Lucky you didn’t have to pop the roof off the cabin to get it out. But I’m sure if it needed doing you’d be the one to pull it off.
After all this practice working in small places, someday you ought to build a Charisma in the bottle as your final boat construction swan song!
