I just finished installing electric winches

Injured my right shoulder a couple of years ago so that cranking winches is actually quite painful. Hopefully the electric winches will fix that. I have been flat out on boat projects since April 1. This week has been a rather nice respite, although I did build a new battery box for the batteries for the electric winches this week. Today I will put the last of the trim back on the powerboat. The powerboat ate most of my time this year. So far I have replaced 14 planks, built new side and aft decks including all new deck beams and am in the middle of painting. The port side is finished except for one coat of paint on the trim, the the stadboar side still needs another build coat on the new wood before I paint the topsides and can start on the trim. Hopefully it will all be finished this coming week. As a result of the boat work my legs have been killing me. I figure that the 200+ hours I spent on ladders was the culprit
