Re: Always check your contractors' work

This is how to go one step farther than just supervising your workers:

When I was in Shelter Bay Marina, there was a mechanic there, I think they call him the Diesel Whisperer, or something like that... His name might be Greg, and he is one very good mechanic if you need one in Panama. I hired him to come over and change the coolant in both the genset and the engine, and also clean out the heat exchangers because my engine was overheating slightly at 2200 RPM. When he got to Aquarius I gave him a cold drink, and said... "Today this is your job, drink as much as you like, but you have to make sure I do everything correctly". He had all the proper tools for making sure that they system would hold pressure, and he just instructed me on how to take everything apart, and get it back together properly. So, the next time if I had to do it, I could do it myself. And, I know it was done properly... Well, it is still working after 600 hours. O - The reason for the over-heating... 4 small pieces of impellers in the heat exchanger from before I owned Aquarius. Ken Powers Aquarius Currently in Indonesia
