Should of bought one with that feature!

We did. But I didn't want to spring the additional $$ for the self
installing model


Clean engine heate exchangers, install new hose.



Yeah me to soon.

Don't put it off... especially as the Gulf water heats up.


Install new raw water impeller.


Yelp me to soon

Another thing to not delay

These things have a way of catching you just before you were gonna do
the job.


Remake fuel system connection with slow (1 drop every 3 days) leak.



Ugh, do you have an air trap?


Install check valve in fuel line to genset.



Your gen set fuel pump does not have a check valve buildt in?

I would have thought either the lift pump, or the injector pump, or
both, would function as a check valve. But apparently not. The main
engine will run for about 15 minutes with the genset supply valve open.
Then it coughs and dies and I have to bleed it (on this engine, not a
big problem).




Build up spoke/hub of steering wheel to make it less wobbly. I have to
have at least one ongoing job invovling WEST epoxy.


Not gonna last, your wasting time, afro american engineering.

No, I think it will be solid for all the ages to come.

....every little step has required the massive amounts of
planning, re-planning, and eons of labor.



Sounds like a cramped little boat.

No, it's a 20,000# disp 36' trawler. But it's already got a lot of
installed systems and they didn't think ahead to leave owners 20 years
in the future a lot of blank room for additions.


I guess the builder of your boat did so?
