Default A great day for boat repairs

A pretty Spring day. Took part of the morning to repair a spot on my
Tolman where I put he epoxy on in too cold weathe4r and it did not
adhere well enough. Drilled holes thru the glass and into the wood
and injected epoxy with a syringe then seriously clamped it.

Today I replaced the stock water/fuel separator on my bass boat with
a Racor with a clear bowl. I could never understand how you are
supposed to tell when the sealed filters are in need of replacement.


Change the filter once or twice a season. More often if you have a
known water problem.
Hint: pour the filter contents into a glass jar to see if you have a
water problem.

I prefer the clear bowl. I have one on by big boat and there's no
guesswork. I've never had much water to drain but you never know what
you are pumping into your tanks.
