Splashed Touché today in Pensacola. Not a big deal since we only hauled out 15 days ago but happy to be in the water for Memorial Day weekend in the Pensacola area. Sailed all the way from Mandeville to use this yard and contractor.
No issues, just new Baltoplate, wet sand, a few touch ups to the boot stripe and some AwlCare on the paint. At launch, immediately noticed engine wasn't pumping much water. Was only moving 50 feet or so to a temporary slip so we got it moored and shut it down. Strainer clean but noticed water wasn't overtopping the strainer like normal. Impeller looked good but again, no water at pump intake. Changed impeller anyway. Stored the used one with the pile of other used ones. Pulled intake hose off pump and back flushed it with dock hose. Slight resistance then Whoosh, free flow. When I stopped, water flowed out of the intake. Engine pumping fine afterwards. Only thing I can figure is yard gang put something in the intake to prevent paint spray from entering intake. Odd. Dennis C.
