While I love my boat more often than not sometimes I hate it.
The alternator was overcharging so I took it to an electrician who replaced the regulator and rear bearing.
Salt water pump leaks a drip every 5 seconds so with alternator off try to remove pump. I cannot get at one of the Allen head bolts. Go home and make up some tools to get the bolt out but figure it can wait.
Refit the alternator this afternoon, connect everything up tightly. Start up, light stays on and no charge.
Remove alternator to take back to electrician. Try my special tools on the water pump without success.
Two visits to the boat and absolutely no progress on either problem. I'm going overseas in a few weeks for nearly 3 months and want it going properly before I go. GRRRRRRRR!
