Issues
July 17, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
On this trip
1. Lost 2 of 4 batteries
2. Batteries drained unable to start motor
3. Shower bilge pump shot
4. Leak on port side when sailboat healed 45 degrees

Solutions
1. Replace dead batteries
2. Buy charger
3. Buy jumper cable
4. Batteries drained because wire is half the size it needs to be. (Electrical engineer and boat electrician remarks) Replacing wire in Poquoson with John Hunt .
5. Bought new shower bilge pump replace in Poquoson
6. Leak = unsure. I can not find it. It has to be ac or bathroom scuttles. No a life threatening problem.Read more
