Rough Day

[ESCAPE PLAN]

Broke down in Boca, input shaft flange off the trans separated,cracked my strainer then hit the rear exhaust pipepulling it off the muffler. We anchoerd in Lake Wyman,woke up to find we dragged anchor for a lovely soft grounding. Oh, and the $1850.00 circulation pump i just replaced 2 days ago.....is leaking from the weephole.I will fix all today except the water pump. But all are safe and thats what matters.

I splash end of February after repairs and upgrades. Everything will be perfect when I leave. Except the broken things that have not notified me yet they are broken!

WRT the pump and the weephole, is there back pressure in that loop? I had an issue of that sort with the raw water pumps so I boiled out the systems. That resolved the issue.

Yes it does.

the water pump started leaking before i finished filling with initial
coolant. Contacted the vendor and they are making it right.

Glad everyone is safe. Some days these boats just overwhelm you.
