To begin, I installed the new wooden step and storage area on the engine box front. I secured the base of the step with screws, and the step/cover with a pair of hinges to allow access. Meanwhile, I glued the trim to the engine box top. With a temporary cover in place over the battery box (the owner had the actual piece), I tested the fit and installed the backing plates for the turn locks that were already in place on the nearby trim.
I installed a strip of cork on the centerline beneath the foredeck, then led the wiring harness from the windlass remote's receptacle forward and through the bulkhead, where I made the final connections.
Over the remainder of the day, in and around other things (including taking measurements for new pulpits for future reference, and also for instrument panel backs in the main cabin), I continued work on the cork installation beneath the foredeck and sidedecks in the forward cabin, covering most of the area before running out of time late in the day with just two small areas left to cover.
With the end of the project only a day away, I also worked to clean out tools and such from the boat, and prepared staging and materials for deadlight installation and other tasks next time.
