    I did all of the bilge pump areas this winter. Clean, repair, paint, new pumps, hose, and ultras. We were back to cruising last weekend and it felt great. Did Cricket get any work this winter???

    Re: AC drain sump/ Bilge Pump repair???

    Not to much for a change. Had to fix the floor in the master closet that had some rot from the AC condensate pan which turned into new plywood tabbed to the hull and sistering a few deck beams. Never going to rot again with all of the glass we added. Also inside doing some padded walls and wallpaper in the cabins and new vanity counters/tops. In the ER new fuel coolers, alternators, starters and some additional engine plumbing. Really would like to add a sonar but haven't been able to con myself into spending that much $$$$.

    Well for what it's worth I chased a mystery water accumulation in my generator room from when we bought Pau Hana until about a year later - I sat in the gen room and ran the dishwasher, and discovered drain hose had a split on the back side against the hull about 6 inches before the thru-hull fitting. It only opened when the dishwasher was draining, I'm guessing due to pressure(?). Since this was also my galley sink drain, I replaced entire hose from coupling to thru-hull. That mystery leak was solved, which was what led to further repairs I posted earlier. But yours looks much nicer than mine did.
