Woke up to this

Dog needed out a little after 5am and this is what I found. Unknown to me a wire had broken off my bilge pump. On the bright side after flushing the motor real good it still works great.

ROT ROW George,,,, now you either had a ton of rain,, orrrrr somebody forgot to tighten the drain plug. Just sayin, not that I ever knowed anybody that did that
Glad you got the motor running, them things are to dayumed expensive to have all jacked up like that

Only made that mistake once or I mean the wife did, lol. We had 4 inches of rain in a few hours.

Takes forever to get the water out of them seat cushions...sucks when that happens. I live. near the water not on it so my boat is on trailer after i use it.

You owe your dog something big. If you'd found it later it would have been much worse

Curious what went when the boat went down? I mean my boat has a pile of stuff in it!

Having said that I am glad you saved the boat and engine! Kubota to tone rescue! Wowho!

 

[Daren Todd]

Glad you were abke to save the boat and motor I've been out a couple times where someone forgot to put the plug in. Usually see them making a fast approach bavk to the trailer

I was very lucky, most the stuff was in a big plastic container that floated off which we found later. My battery, solar panel and debt finder were still in the boat. The only thing I'm missing is my fillet knife. Your right about the seats Tooljunkie, not sure they'll ever be the same but I think they are pretty much dried out now.

Where i used to work, boat maintenance was part of my job. Draining water making sure it was stored properly and covered. Supervisor almost sunk the boat, back at the yard, hes yellin at me. Who takes the plug out of the boat??i yelled right back,me! Who doesent check to make sure its in??

I thought it was funny,his boss (Big boss) wasnt impressed watching him scramble to get it on trailer and drained.

My fault, no way.

I had to dry out a set of seats, velcro on backrest part and cushion comes out. Pulling seat off pedestal and placing base vertical most water should find its way out.

Well with another 3 or 4 days of rain coming today i double checked the bilge was in good working condition....hopefully no more 5:30 rescues.

Whatcha need a debt finder for? I keep trying to lose mine and they keep finding me!

 

[D2Cat]

ShaunRH, That was good!!!!

As long as you not too deep in debt you might need a debt gauge.

Lol, sure don't need a debt finder, I'm married

 

[Corney]

Hate to say it but sometimes the wife is the debt maker!

Not in my life , may be many of the relationships I have seen?

Make it idiot- proof, and someone will make a better idiot!

Daren Todd, I like your sig. We had a saying when I was on AD in the Navy. You cant sailor proof something if he can't screw it up in some way he will just throw it over the side.

Sorta the same thing
