The final items for tomorrow will be to change out the primary Racor fuel
filter, one that finally clogged after 3 years and over 1000 hours of
operation. That it took that long is proof-positive that our fuel
polishing
system has paid for itself. The other part of that fuel system
installation,
done before we left over 3 years ago, the dual-Racor system, allowed us
to
merely flip a couple of levers, engaging the second filter, allowing us
to
make that filter change at our leisure rather than under way. Life is
good...



Skip: Now I know why you ar efixing things all the time..

Your Racor story is evidence of a total lack of ___________.

Why on earth would you wait 3 years to change a filter? I guess youre
more willing to HAVE to to
........ merely flip a couple of levers, engaging the second filter,

under way........
But what happens if your underway some dark and stormy night when your
motor takes a **** and youre scrambling to merely flip a switch as
you are now beam to a Red Clowd sea?

I think skip should nip into his dinghy and check to see if his waterline is
still visible.
