Oberdorfer pump makes their own bronze assemblies. The electric motor is the flavor of the month brand (GE, Century, Dayton, etc). These electric...
Super fine. Look forward to your trials and travels.
One last hope, Re-connect the white wire in the pump controller box. Disconnect the white wire form the motor. Check breaker. If it does not trip,...
Nice walk thru on "Scintilla Maris". [MEDIA]
Bertram and Hatterass (others?) original FRP fuel tanks have a habit of reacting to large amounts of alcohol (say 10% or so) mixed with your...

I'm not trying to say these don't go bad. Just replaced another GFI on our Bert (and have another one to check). My comment was more of when...
I usually just buy the hose and reuse the ends. All lengths are then perfect to the last connection. When I re-hosed our Bert, nicer radi in the...
In the movie, I think the dawg turned out to be a wuss.
