Added new stainless lifelines and gates on starboard for the finger pier at the slip. Steve and Bill helped. Glad we did it on the hard. Dropped a nut or two on the ground. Would have lost them in the water.

After working on this a few weekend with other tasks, completed installation of compass. Sanding of binnacle by Dave, Paint by Steve, then Rich and I tapped a new bold thread and installed compass and wiring. Needed to modify base of compass frame for wire, then sealed the base with marine silicone.
The binnacle frame rail was lowered about 7" as well. It will be a better height.
