Deck repairs for an SM ( and other Amels )
Sorry to hear you caught COVID, but glad it was a mild case. I get my 1st Moderna jab in 4 days, and hoping we can travel internationally by the summer. The decks are noticeably cooler to walk on, and

Fresh Water Pump
I agree with Bill regarding the Marco pump. We have had one for several years now, and consider it to be much higher quality than most of the other pumps available. Steve Davis Aloha SM 72 Port Townse

Good idea. It’s been 5 years since replacement, so would not be surprised if the element is toast.
