No good deed goes unpunished

Getting ready for our trips I figured I’d change the generator pump out for a new one I bought a year or two ago so we start out fresh. Start up yesterday to test and all is good. Arrive at anchorage today and I noticed light steam from exhaust. And not enough water. I have the original pump ready to go back in with a fresh impeller and I’ll have to probably dig out blade pieces from the HX.

At least we are running on the spare generator that was just installed so I was able to do all this with AC on. Plan to swap pump later this afternoon when the generator is cooled off.

Fortunately you caught it before much more happened? You have my sympathy. I remember digging out the impeller pieces from the HX, and backflushing it with dock water to ensure I got it all. Good luck and good trip!
