not pumping water so I need to trouble shoot the raw water pump.
Probably replace.
First I'm going to flush the line that discharges and go from there.
Thanks,
It finally cooled down but looking hot again for this weekend.
The alternate is a lot worse.

Just plugged into shore power for first time with new (1983) 10 meter Trojan and happy to find out A/C unit works, just needs recharged. Can this be done with the old R-12 re-charge? How may cans will it take? Same procedure as charging an old cars system? FYI- doors still operate on captain's cabin...

The Fiberglass arch has been removed and a stainless steel arch replaced.
It's an awesome looking boat.

The old mercursier 454's are tired and I'm seriously considering investing a 'boat load' of money into repowering with diesel engines. I'm looking for new ( or used) Yanmar 4YB180's (pair). I've been told the new Yanmar's are electr...
