Today reminds me why I love life so much! Not too cold... Not too hot... and just the right amount of SUNSHINE!
Today dad and I spent a few hours working at the boat... Dad got some more work done on the aft cabin and I wired in the engine alarms, the refrigeration unit, the wind generator...etc...etc... Lots done, but not much to show...
I did start the engine today and it started after just a second... not bad for sitting all winter.... I also pulled the inspection plate off the impeller and found the impeller looking just great.... The bad news is that when I do have to change the impeller I will have to remove the whole pump to get at the impeller... I miss the impeller on the Catalina.... 4 screws and you are done.... oh well.....
Tonight Shelley and I picked up the fuel line and the fittings that I need to finish installing the generator... A GREAT sunny day!
Cheers!
