August 19th, More Maintenance

Mark took the day off from work to meet with an engine inspector on the sailboat.  The Yanmar engine is in great condition.  Yeah!!! It will be serviced later this week with the required preventative maintenance.

Mark decided to dedicate the rest of his day to again fixing things on the boat.

Installed a new bulb in the starboard side light (it was missing).
Installed a new fire extinguisher.

Replaced the float switch for the main bilge pump (the white rectangle).

The removed broken float switch.

Replaced this missing (expensive) latch.  It promptly broke the first time we tried to use it.  It was installed too tight.
Replaced the latch again!  This time it works like a charm.
The seawater filter on the right clogged with seaweed, later cleaned out.
