Boom

On Friday Roy, from Harbor Mobile Marine, helped us remove a generator from an Island Packet 38.  We moved the boat over to the Fuel Dock and rolled the Bimini back.  Roy moved the boom down close to the lazarette and we used a come along to lift the generator up to the boom.  We had to try several times to get the generator lined up so that it would clear but once we had it clear Roy used his Android phone to control the boom.

Yes, his phone!  Seems that the boom was damaged in a lightning strike and Roy found a App and blue tooth relay controller on the internet and has wired this in to control the boom.

  1. I'm waiting for the app that controls the app.

    Then we no longer need the phone. The app will take care of it.
