Our Night Got a Little Too Fun... Ep196
A new rod, rerouting the reverse cycle’s water intake, new water pump, drawers for our cabin, the riser saga continues, celebrating the new year, 2025 memories, comments and questions
Steve rerouted the hose for the water intake flow of the reverse cycle air conditioner unit in our cabin and then...there was a horrible noise. Oh no, the water pump died! Luckily we had a spare 500 gallon an hour March pump on board. Whew! You can never have enough spare parts on a boat. With the new pump installed the reverse cycle is now keeping us warm and toasty.
The Penn Senator reel that came with Isabella has a new friend. It’s a two piece Power Plus Trophy Class rod. Although the Senator could use a heavier rod, we’re going with the two piece because it’s much easier to store. Keep your fingers crossed, Steve just might catch us dinner one day.
Storage is always an issue on boats and Isabella is no exception. The owners’ cabin has some storage space but needs more. So we ordered some drawers to address the matter. Steve put the unit together in no time and Karen’s so excited about having more storage we ordered another set of drawers. Boat life just keeps getting better.
The saga of the engine riser continues. Steve is discovering more and more information on the subject including getting a $4,000 estimate to build a new riser. He’s still investigating better and less expensive options. We are determined to not have an exhaust leak in the engine room or anywhere else on Isabella without breaking the bank.
This episode ends with us partying in a frenzy to bring in the new year and some of your comments and questions. We love it when you leave a comment!!! Finally, we post a few fun memories from 2025.

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...
