quarter fenders and putting wires on tugger and towing winches.

the kit comes with rope which i will use to make up 4 mooring lines. the winches should have wire, approx 1.6mm for towing drum and 0.5mm for tugger winch. have been on the lookout for suitable wire and while getting some threadloc for the props and couplings in the motor factors, spotted this (0.8mm stainless 3 strand) which looks ok on both drums. it takes nearly as long to do as the real thing. not my favourite job. will do other tugger and anchor handling drum tomorrow. also finished the quarter fenders.
total hours 250.
