Grandkids... brings back memories. I used to cover the manual release handle with a home made piece of plastic that I screwed over the handle fixture when the youngest was aboard. Another time one grand kid unscrewed the pump handle on a manual head and the piston fell back into the cylinder requiring a disassembly. The second time he did it that day, he had to "help" fix it. Then there was the time he activated the autopilot while in the slip and I could not steer the boat (single screw) as I backed out. Good old days!

Re: OPINIONS REQUESTED: Co2 Fire System Inspection / Re-certification
I ve been looking at this since my CO2 system needs to be certified and likely to fail due to rust. I also have to question the integrity of almost 50 year old plumbing
On the 53MY we re lucky to have two engine rooms and a separate genny room so it seems to me that having a single all or nothing system isn't the best setup. I ve just ordered three fireboys with three shut down modules. A little more $ than the single CO2 system but no plumbing and if a fire starts in one ER it won't kill the other engine... or a problem in the the genny room won't shut down the engines possibly at the wrong timePascal
