Boat-work – anything to do with work on the boat which can be from repairs to ordering of parts to the actual fitting!
As mentioned within “Changing the electrics” I needed to make some new electrical panels for the boat once the changes that had been planned because it would have been almost impossible to alter the old ones and anyways with the changes I was thinking about it also allows for a future proof
