Subject: Fuel transfer/polishing pump
From: "Doug Dotson"

After having my lift pump fail half way across the Gulf Stream, I think
I'll stick to what Yanmar and the mechanic in FL suggested even
beyond the warranty.

Did your sails fail too? :-)

No, we sailed to the point where we needed a tow to get into Lake Worth
Inlet.
Didn't seem prudent to try and sail through the inlet.

And didn't you say you had electric priming pumps?

No. Not until after getting repairs at Rybovich. We have one now.

If so, why did you not use those to run the engine?
