Mike, I saw your post yesterday , and thought I would give you a call , I would like to know what you think about cruising in Fla. A mooring for $252./month is certainly cheap enough. Thanks, Pat

Mark, Thanks for the suggestion. If I get out of here at all , I will need to return home a fair amount due to work and a grandchild due in Feb. Thanks Again, Pat SM#123 Sassafras River ,Md.

Duane, Check for these issues: Suction leak on the supply side. There was a fiber washer where the copper tube was secured to the pump. It is likely damaged or now missing. You may have difficulty

Good day to all. There is someone who has the SAME tow-thruster that works well? It would be useful for me to see a picture with activator and plunger switch well aligned, before making changes to my

COOL !!! So happy for you Duane! I know the feeling when things don't work as they are supposed to... Glad you solved it! Sincerely, Alexandre --------------------------------------------
