Due to the now-constant 90+ temps here, I've also rigged something similar
to, but much improved over, the setup to keep the keel cooler wet which I
did in St. Pete during our wreck rehab. In our prior trial, the water
running off it got cooler as it stabilized; I assume that will assist in
my overall efforts at having cold beer for Lydia and coke for me, along
with the first-in-many-days, cold eggs to break for our breakfast that I
enjoyed feeling as I picked them up over the bowl this morning :{))


That was a smart move, Skippy. Keeping the condenser water-cooled is how it
is intended to operate. Having no such method of cooling and relying on air
temperatures alone causes they system to operate harder, longer and with
more stress on all components. The excess heat was probably responsible for
the failed o-ring.

"Cold beer for Lydia and a coke for me"????? C'mon, Skippy, man up and have
a beer.
