What the heck is this??

(Oh no, I'm at it again - what have I started ? ! ? )

100 views before you tell us?

Yer gunta knock out the forward wall of the head an create a new partition that'll allow more light inta the "thinkin' room"!

Part of a galley mod?

nope - try again - more clues will be given as construction proceeds (at least I hope construction will proceed not all the way sure it will work or what I am doing).

A Rube Goldberg device for telling which way the rudders are pointing!

It's half of a henway

No, it does not weigh even a third of that - that's the key to the design, I need it to be very very light - (don't want to add extra weight to the boat so I am calculating every part so the total does not weight more than the "thing" it replaces. No rudders involved.

That's all the hints for now - gave away too much.

Pshh...

Easy,

Admiral powered paddlewheel to replace that heavy old ETEC.

No, that's not it, but it's a great idea.

FOR SALE - sign

HA! no - not yet - when my body get's too hard to move around, maybe, but for now - not for sale. When it's time I will give you guys first dibs, but I think I would like to spend a few more years on the water just yet.

Believe it or not it's raining here right now (a rare Mexican weather blew up a little further north than usual) so construction is at a standstill until the rain goes back to Baja. The air smells like Margaritas and everyone is just standing around looking up at the sky like a bunch of turkeys. We had already forgotten what water looks like from the sky - people here can't function under any color but blue. As soon as the sky comes back all will be normal again.

Then there will be HINTS! (With pictures hopefully, unless I totally screw this thing up). It's a test of troll skills. )

I can picture some kind of dumbwaiter / elevator system to replace the ladder. Notice the drawer slides on the opposite side of the vertical rails.

Why bother climbing the companionway ladder when you can be casually lifted and lowered?!

Huh, another great idea - I need to think about that.

You guys have been really good sports so here is another hint:
