And the Work goes on.... and on....and on

Funny how things turnout sometimes...  I was suppose to go golfing but rain put and end to that before we could begin.   So plan B had me heading for Wind Wager to try and get some check marks.  Decided to tackle installing the new fresh water pump and hose.
I still need to mount a filter.  This pump has a pressure switch that will turn the pump on when I open a water valve but my current faucet uses a flip switch.  I will need to revise a little once I install the stainless sink and new faucet.

 I also fixed my front hatch prop.

  Its been a pretty gray day at the marina

I decided to take the water tank out and work on it at home .   I always make a mess trying to put water in the tank.  I use to have to take the main cap off and fill with water then try to twist enough turns back in the waterline to let me screw the cap on all the way.
  I wanted to at least make it so I could fill the tank without moving it.  At least till I get  a proper water intake valve mounted through the hull.   So in between rain squalls I hurried and closed up the boat and headed for home.  This is what I came up with,a pvc hose connector screwed into a 1" hole I drilled through the top of the tank.
Pirate sail is next weekend  so I need to finish the trailer work this week if the rain stops.  More about that next time.

Have a Great Day,
Tom
