Over in General Discussion, louTribal has a recent post that includes a short discussion about his engine's PTO. That made me think of using PTO's for large pumps. This reminded me of this story from the very well-written and informative blog by the owners of M/V Dirona. This couple is extremely experienced, and quite technically advanced. Their Nordhavn is clearly shipshape at all times, as they make ocean passages all the time. You can Google "M/V Dirona" for more - they cover many subjects that I find useful.
Anyway, this particular story is worth a read. The 'real world' of dealing with a significant water leak with only two people aboard. Would YOU be prepared for this? How many of us have never had to put our pumps to the test?
I hope the link works...if not you'll have to cut & paste it.
