[ed & inge]

today was the big day of 2012.........our boat would be off the trailer into the water........but it only has been in for 5 minutes, and then i had to take her out because she has a leak somewhere down under......water was dripping into the bilge compartiment.......so next week the repairman will have a look and repair it.....

#$%#.......this weekend it will become nice weather....season begins ppppffffffftttttttt

hey ed...check to see if all the plugs are in....there should be one on each manifold....side of water pump....etc....those blue plugs are sometimes tough to see and reach..


keep us informed...I sure hope you don't have a cracked block...

that would be an easy fix
going to drop mine in this weekend. i know i did everything the right way but it's always a special moment

rens

[ed & inge]

hai guys.......its the house of the bleu plug down at the block......

and rens,

i told my wife.........

that i dont want an other boat but i want a peugeot rcz........well she said....i didnt went all winter with you to almost all the boatshops, boatshows and wathever for nothing, so buy me the boat you want....... she said and shut up about your car......

thats what she told me........

sometimes.............greatz, ed

[shrew]

Ed, you've got the green light. She said buy another boat. Go do it before she changes her mind for goodness sake!!!!

hey ed
mine isn't leaking but i have a gas mixture with water again @#$%^&^%$#@
put in the special stuff last year but it died on me in the middel of the waterway when i opened up the trottle.
i could however start the engine again and creep back to the harbour with about 5 miles an hour.
will have to suck the water out of the tank again (had about 6 liters water in the tank last year)
i'm glad it was very calm on the river

and
perhaps, keep the boat and trade in the wife

Rens,

If you have a water in fuel problem you can always add mentholated spirits or ethanol to the the fuel tank, this then allows the water to mix with the fuel and you can burn it off and will not get the stalling problems, I know a boating friend of mine that also has a distilling problem and uses all his 1st pass liquid in his boat, he lives in a very tropical environment and has had nothing but problems with water in fuel, since adding the ethanol to the fuel he has not had an issue and if you are worried about engine life I think he is living proof its ok, he would get about 80 hours a week in the boat EVERY week.
Just a suggestion.

yo rens,

water in the fuel.....i know it....had it....been there......can make a person very pissed of at a certain moment....

trade in the wife......no option....she has the code af the savings account....(hahaha)

if i would have the code the savings account would be something like an empty house or a fridge filled with nothing.......

yo shrew,

i know it your damned right......but at this moment the dealer who wants to trade in my boat havent got the 27 ft sports bavaria, there is'nt one available at this moment...

greatz, ed

last wednesday i took the broken part out.......it's the plastic house down under were the bleu drain plug is.........the house is cracked so water is leaking in to the boat........ordered a new one, hope it will come soon

greatz, ed

[ed & inge]

last week i picked up the new part....price 240 dollar (totally crazy) took me about 20 minutes to install it......coming friday i'm going to let her swim again and hopefully she's oke now....

keep you informed (still no news about an other boat)

greatz, ed

[ed & inge]

had the time to let her swim today....untill so far no leaks anymore, so let the summer come in......

geats, ed

**** went to the boat today and opend the motorhatch........had to put the pump on for about 3 minutes......so its leaking somwhere else to.....but were???????????????????????......think i call the mechanic man to take a look

greatz, ed

[ed & inge]

well, tomorrow (monday the 7th of may) the mecanic is coming to pick up the boat and try to find out where the leak is, i could'nt find it......hope it will be something little and won't cost to much......ppppffftttt

Ed,

This plastic housing that was leaking water, was it the fuel pump module cover housing by any chance?

Sounds like the same area and that has raw water flow thru it.

[ed & inge]

hai cassy

no it was'nt that part, it was the plastic part when taking the bleu screw plug out the last drip of water comes out......with the new blocks it's down under on the right side of the v belt......my boat was by the mecanic this week he took the tail of but that was dry inside so no problems there, so he looked at some other things like the plug down at the back of the boat and the holders of the swimming platform took it out and installed it again with new sealant and more of these things. so coming monday she's going to swim again and we will see if she stays dry inside the motorhatch.....fingers crossed.....

let you know.....greatz,ed

[ed & inge]

well today we have put the boat in the water again and after a few hours she was still dry under the hood, so let's hope it will stay that way then the problem is solved and was it the house of the drain plug......fingers crossed.....

greatz, ed
