Tested the Jabsco Hydro Air bilge pump sensor today - 2024

  We have gotten our new Jabsco Hydro Air bilge pump sensor installed. This sensor will turn on our Whale Gulper bilge pump. It works on air pressure. When one inch of water gets in the bilge the Whale Gulper will go off. It is our everyday bilge pump. We ran a test today by putting the garden hose into the bilge and adding water. It seems it was more than an inch of water but not by much and it did start the Whale Gulper and shut it off when the water got low. So a good test! We also test the other bilge pumps and alarm and all are working fine!

Replaced our throttle cable -2024

 Debbie putting together the bracket that holds the cable away from the alternator belt. In hindsight I should have just loosened the bracket and slid the cable in and then put the linkage on. The nut on the bracket was hard to get back on.
