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.

Makes sense.


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

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

Ok, I wasn't sure of the time line.

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

QED

Got it.
