The government suspected the charter boat owner was not paying his employees properly so they sent an auditor to investigate. Auditor: “I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them.” Boat Owner: “Well, there’s Clarence, my deckhand. He’s been with me three years. I pay him $1,000...

The 1.25” hose from the strainer to the pump runs over the shaft in the stbd ER. It’s never been a problem before but recently I noticed it had settled down and was resting on the shaft. IM GLAD I CAUGHT IT BEFORE THE HOSE FAILED. What is the proper fix? It doesn’t look like there is enough...
