Good move, and I hope you are happier when you get to Harnser than I was when I went, similarly motivated, to drain the water systems on nb Lark Rise on Tuesday. The bilge pump float switch had stuck in the closed position, flattening the cranking battery to 0.0v and subsequently retaining enough water to overtop the stern gland bilge and flood the engine bilge to about 2". I spent a merry afternoon bailing out, freeing up the switch and jury-rigging the bilge pump to run from the cabin batteries. > There I started a thread about boating, its time there was one on this > list All credit for that and for giving me chance to have a good moan.
