Bilge Pumps and Headaches: Getting Gargoyle Ship-Shape Again! Ep.118
n this thrilling episode of our sailing channel, join us as we face unexpected challenges upon getting Gargoyle back in the water. Our peaceful evening at the dock takes a dramatic turn when the bilge pump kicks in and doesn’t stop, causing panic as we fear we might be sinking. With quick thinking and a bit of chaos, we discover the culprit—a failed raw water pump on our aft head. This incident serves as a valuable reminder to always close those thru hulls when away from the boat.
As the night progresses, we encounter yet another issue with the forward head’s macerator pump, where a dried-up O-ring leads to persistent water leaks. With both heads in need of repair, we must tackle the task at hand while also preparing Gargoyle for the open sea. From reassembling the enclosure to fitting sails and bringing general equipment back into service, we leave no stone unturned in our quest to get Gargoyle ship-shape once again.
Join us on this adventure as we share the ups and downs of sailing life, offering valuable lessons along the way. Witness our visit to the renowned Royal Cork Yacht Club and see how we handle this minor scare with composure and determination. Get ready to set sail with us as we bring Gargoyle back to her full glory and embark on new nautical escapades!
