Re: Hot water and water heater
Well @Lake_Bum, tip of the hat to your suggestion. I pulled that screen (more like a filter) and just a few granuals it seemed clogged it. Hard to imagine I've not had issue in the past. As far as the hot water, it was odd. I do have the boat home and plugged in but it is just a house connection. Don't know if I have enough amps to heat the hot water heater or not. Seemed like earlier I ran it and was indeed hot out of the cold- but my tank ran out. So after filling and later in the day the cold seemed fine and while the hot seemed warmer, it was not hot hot. Guess I need to run it- I will recheck the connections for the new pump later.
Something oddly satisfying for that faucet working smoothly. New pump much more quiet as well..it has been 105/115 feels like here in central Florida.

Re: Pic Of The Day
Daddy saved the day!
Everly, my 8 year old dropped her dolls pocketbook with all of its accessories off the swim platform. She didn’t tell us till a few minutes after it happened and she was very upset. Luckily it had a metal chain on it and I was able to use my magnet!

Re: Pic Of The Day
@aero3113- The Welland requires one person at the helm and two line handlers on deck because the locks can have a lot of turbulence. I don't recall seeing an age restriction, but the line handlers need good skills and physical ability. It wouldn't be safe to use a small child. Also it can be a very long day (12 hours or more depending on commercial traffic).
This is Locks 4-5-6 ... three connected locks that climb 120 feet up over the Niagara Escarpment (the same geological feature that forms Niagara Falls).
This is inside one of the locks. Lock workers up at the top throw two lines down to the line handlers. It takes 20-30 minutes to fill the lock. Need to have good fenders!

Re: Pic Of The Day
Last pic of the day. Yesterday, Rinker Forum Member and Gold Looper @Grahamu and his bride Sacha picked us up in Port Dalhousie and took us for an awesome tour of the Niagara region! Niagara Falls on the tour boat into Horseshoe Falls, down the parkway to the Whirlpool, then lunch at Niagara-on-the-Lake. Spectacular day with great friends!
Yet another example of people I knew online for years and met in-person while cruising.

Re: What did you do to your boat today
Had a busy day yesterday. Generator wasn't pumping water, so I was prepared to replace the impeller. Opened it up and the impeller was fine, but the coupler was broke so I swapped that.
While I was in there I changed the anode. Looks like it needed it, haha.
Also had an issue with my port trim not going up. The solenoid would click, but the trim pump wouldn't start. The pump worked fine with trim down. I diagnosed it as a faulty solenoid, so I swapped that.
And my starboard engine was running a little hotter than I liked, so I back flushed my heat exchangers through the power steering cooler. I got bits of impeller out, little artifacts from the previous owner.
