    Thanks guys for all the input. Been lots of boat repairs under way on the hard and THEN I ended up sticking the old port shaft in and the repaired prop and got launched to limp back it the local hurricane hole and tie up for the possible double hurricane, 15’ tidal surge storm the boat yard...

    Jabsco not pumping.

    Thanks all for the support. Dock neighbor updated me and it’s “fixed”. The solution was reported to be a check valve installed past the pump. (This hose initially had an anti siphon loop). I know. This leaves many unanswered questions for me. But he is understandably proud of his results-

    Jabsco not pumping.

    More great replies. I like Ski’s test method. I also need to confirm the complete pump wasn’t removed and the installed correctly. Will look into o ring size and rear plate as well. Update soon-

    Jabsco not pumping.

    All great suggestions everyone. To clarify, I actually spun the engine over, with in/ out hoses removed. Thumb over suction side after removing and inspecting the new impeller. Used Dawn during installation. End plate had minor wear but I flipped it over anyway so the “new” face faced the pump...

    Jabsco not pumping.

    Thanks for all the great reply’s. Larry, I thought the same and actually removed the plate and shot a video of it spinning but couldn’t figure out how to post it here. I pulled the impeller that was installed (The first was NOS, second was purchased locally), inspected the condition of the back...

    Jabsco not pumping.

    Guys I’m helping my neighbor work on his 6KW NL generator. His original impeller failed/ came apart and he installed one from his stock (was on the hook). It never primed up. He installed a second one with the same result. I helped him look at it yesterday, confirmed all components prior to...

    Sealing encapsulated teak

    I’m not sure that is the right description but let me go on. I have a few areas on the boat, primarily on the hard top supports, that leave a rust colored stain after a hard rain. More recently I see a small crack in the FG/ gelcoat on the side of the steps leading to the fly bridge. It too is...

    Dometic ecd16k compressor not coming on

    OK, I have an update. I called in a local Dometic dealer to troubleshoot the AC. It was out of Freon. Interesting enough, the compressor was still coming on, apparently it had a enough oil not to seize it up and this unit does now have a low pressure switch. Apparently the Freon leaked out...

    Dometic ecd16k compressor not coming on

    I agree, just can’t locate it:). I have the install copy that came with the unit and I’m finding nothing. We are pulling out at 9:30, I’ll pull the access panel and check it before I hope.

    Dometic ecd16k compressor not coming on

    I’m out of time tonight to access the unit. Will look into in the am. I did reaching with my iPhone and take several pictures as well as reviewed the schematic again and there is no RESET shown.

    Dometic ecd16k compressor not coming on

    Greetings all. I circulated the recommended mixture of Barnacle Buster through my front Dometic AC and then the rear Mermaid unit as a maintenance item earlier today for a couple of hours each. After the flush my 2 yo Dometic unit compressor is not coming on. The troubleshooting guide has no...

    Madisonville, Louisiana area marinas

    Ditto on Beau Chene. I stayed there a while and kept a slip afterwards for a hurricane hole after I moved her to the coast. The Tchefuncte River is gorgeous with all the cypress trees.

    Taiwan teak interiors....

    After years of ownership of my 83 model TT, and much effort and $ spent in keeping a fairly nice teak interior for guests to see, I now consider comments such as “what’s wrong with color of the wood on that wall ?” as grounds to ask them to leave :). A proper guest would have enough class to not...

    Supply water choice

    Greetings all, My Gfriend has gotten in the habit of turning on water faucets when we arrive after several days of not being aboard. The purpose, she has repeatedly pointed out, was to clear out the red tinted water that comes out initially. I realize now I should have taken this more...
