I'm still not running. Our first attempt to start it found the ignition switch completely frozen. Got that swapped to find the starter completely frozen. I completely disassembled the starter and freed the bendix with a gear puller. In the meantime I had changed fluids, cleaned out the freshwater system, etc. As of yesterday it finally cranked over with the key, but my battery was too low for a start. I'm crossing my fingers for next weekend.

I'd go to southshore, the slips at the apartment complex, if I'm thinking of the right one are fixed......not a big deal if you can tie up with enought slack. I've opted to stay as a good friend of mine is on the other side of the finger.
Did you get your engine running?

So I got the lovely letter from Marina Del Sol telling me my rent is going up from $165 to $275 when I renew my lease in January. Looks like we're moving. The Anchorage, which is an apartment complex down the road is only $150 a month and South Shore Harbor told me $215 a month. Any recommendations?

If it turns it should run.......unless really bad things have happened.

I didn't have much time this weekend. I spent part of Saturday at the boat show and then worked on the plumbing for a couple hours before driving back to Spring Saturday night. I think I'm subconsciously putting off the engine work because I know how slim my chance of that Westerbeke actually running really is and how expensive all my other options are.

I'll be down this weekend if you need a hand starting the engine. I worked through school as a ships mechanic.
Is your boat in close proximity to a trawler that just showed up?

I feel like an idiot, I cannot remember my slip. I'm the first dock as you come into the parking lot. about the 8th slip down. the name on the boat is now ESCONDIDA.

I'm in slip G9 and there most weekends. Feel free to stop by and say, hi.
