Mangled raw water drive cam. The
shaft of the raw water pump wasn't
much better. |
Brian inspected and cleaned the heat exchanger, but there was nothing to be found there. Lastly, he lubricated the impeller real well and cranked the generator. The impeller didn’t move (explicative deleted!). Pulling the raw water pump off, he found the pump shaft and drive gear were bad. Brian found a new raw water pump at a great price locally. He also made an appointment with Shelburne Ship Yard to get the generator repaired. The earliest they could take us was the morning of 15 July. While Brian was working on the generator, Linda started cleaning the strataglass on the lania and flybridge until, once again our neighbor Sue generously offered her car. Linda went to a nearby grocery store for some provisions. When Brian emerged and cleaned himself up, we motored over to the fuel dock to get fuel and a pump-out. Then walked to a pub just outside the marina for lunch. We spent the rest of afternoon contemplating our options.
