We wanted to goof off but duty calls. Went out for a nice sailing day; on the way back, the engine started to overheat. When the alarm went off, we decided to hobble the rest of the way to the slip. Good thing we had a bit of a tail wind to help between intermittent starting and stopping of the engine. Since there was no water in the muffler, Steve diagnosed the issue as a worn-out impeller. Fortunately, we had a spare Yanmar part. The next goal was to find out how in the heck to access the housing for the impeller. After locating a rectangular hatch on the engine compartment giving impeller housing visibility, removing 4 10mm bolts, pulling out the wrecked impeller and loose vanes, was able to put the new part in. A little soap on the vanes made it a easier to secure the new impeller, replaced the seawater pump housing plate, and was good to go.
Tested out the repairs the next day and Cakewalk was ready to go again. Unfortunately, the winds were not. There was little to no air. We found a nice little cove, and with our new anchor light we decided to spend the night. Wonderful evening in the 60’s.

Hard & Wet Ep232
Gremlins on board???? We’re starting to think so as two main DIY projects have yet to be completed. This week has been a bit trying to say the least. The gypsy on the Lofrans windlass has always skipped a little when bringing up the anchor. Over time it has gotten much worse. We think it is a misma...
Trouble Getting It Up Ep231
Ever have trouble getting it up? Well, yeah we did. In preparation for our move to Texas, we are checking out all essential systems. One of those being our Lofrans Falcon 1700 watt windlass and maneuvering the anchor. The anchor deployed nicely but the windlass couldn’t get it up easily. More to dia...
Get Lucky Ep 230
Wanna get down and dirty; maybe get lucky? Well, that’s what Karen asked Steve as she tried to get him to take a break from working in the owner's cabin. The reverse cycle unit there has often needed a slight boost provided by a gentle breeze from a Ryobi battery operated fan directed at the th...
Squirting Out All Over Ep229
Oh no, holes in the boat! It always makes us very nervous to cut holes into Isabella even if they are above the waterline. Yet, that's what it takes to install the Atwood 238 helm chair. A big ol’ 3-1/4” hole in the cockpit floor right over the engine. To add extra support, Steve made a backin...
