I need a crystal ball!

I am a firm believer in preventive maintenance. Unlike an infamous former member of this forum I do not subscribe to the “wait till it breaks” methods. Last season I had the water pump impellers changed, spark plugs, oil and filters, and transmission fluid and filters. Before the start of this season the fuel filters where changed and the drive shafts were aligned.

Well after all of that I had to leave my boat in Havre De Grace last weekend because of engine trouble on my way home. Now it sounds like the sending unit for the water pressure on the port engine was bad. MM service is working on the boat up there, and it is throwing a low water pressure code. Engine temperature is normal so it does not appear to be a water pump. Everything ran great on the way up, but the problem showed up right away on the way home. With all the electronic system checks we have on engines today I often wonder are they a help or a hindrance.

The picture in my signature will remain until I get my boat home!

I hear you. Boats are a ton of work to keep in tip top shape and with that you still get surprises. I have spent all spring doing many of the same projects you have listed along with clean and detailing.

Bill that sure is frustrating!!! I remember you doing all that prior to going to Cambridge!!! It seems like there is always something. Hopefully its just a sending unit, quick fix and you are on your way... I wanted to come down Saturday and hand with you folks, but I was bushed after soccer and baseball... I was hoping to have a birthday docktail with you all as Havre De Grace is not all too far from home...

Take Care!!!! See you out there, maybe this weekend..
