bilge pump maintenance

Ringmaster wrote: My boat only has a manual bilge pump. What's really a waste is an electric bilge pump. They just pump until the battery goes dead and then the boat sinks. Or the waterwitch sensor gets filmed by dirt or oil, and the pump remains on, pumping air until it bursts into flames and burns down Clear Lake Shores [perhaps spreading down the road to Texas City where the refinery catches during a norther and takes out Galveston]. When people ask me where I'm from, I respond, "I'm not from anywhere, I'm still in Texas. It's hard to get out of." From my home in Austin, it's a three and a half hour drive to the boat. If you can afford your dream boat, you're not dreaming hard enough. ron -- Ron Roberts or Phone (512) 971-1614 Usenet invented "no controlling legal authority." |
