People do business in writing. A deal is not a deal unless it's in writing and the terms are followed through to it's conclusion. At least you...
Maybe the bilge pump didn't back flow at sea trial? Maybe the shafts weren't leaking at survey? How long ago was it? Anyway, the typical...

I'm thinking that speaking with a dealer and parts availablilty might be some of that feedback ...no?

The shutoff is a terrible idea - It's just not a viable option. And PVC is a no-go below the waterline. I posted 'as a rule' I don't like check...
As a rule I don't like to use a check valve on bilge pump discharge lines. They can get sticky. A loop above the waterline is best. Sometimes that...
Go for it Carl - Absolutely. Which of course is easy for me to say because I won't be the full time personal assistant. You will. LOL. I still...
