  1. Quincy Head Hose Replacement

    E38-200 Quincy Head Hose Replacement

    Replacing our head hoses on Quincy has been overdue for a while, and after our July cruise to Barkley and Clayoquot Sounds we had a few down days in Seattle. I decided enough was enough and it was time to tackle a project I’d been putting off for too long. Luckily Chris was there too, so she...
  2. Macerator and Accumulator Replacement

    E381 Macerator and Accumulator Replacement

    Boats with access to deep water are plumbed for overboard discharge outside the three-mile limit.

    Sealing Sanitation Lines?
