Thank you to Seaboard Welding Supply for donating 10 feet of 4 gauge wire. This wire is used to connect the electrical components on the panel for the endurance configuration. Because a new layout was created, new wire was necessary as the lengths between the components varied. Spot our freshly soldered wire in pics to come!

The final design for both the sprint and endurance layout have been finalized. The panel that will hold both configurations was measured and cut to fit behind the driver in the stern. The components have been laid out on this board and new wires were soldered, as there were new spatial constraints to be considered.  Next steps include permanently mounting the components on the board and wiring them accordingly. Finally, the switches located on the driver’s dashboard will be fed through and also mounted to the board. (A casing will also be constructed out of polycarbonate to ensure that the components stay dry when in action.) In the upcoming days, the systems will be tested for efficiency and accuracy. Stay tuned for updates regarding dry testing!
