The Final Countdown


Last weekend we discovered that the shower discharge pump had failed. We have had no end of trouble with the shower on Moonshine since owning her. We are now on our third float switch, this was sorted several months ago as we now have a Waterwitch Electronic Level Switch, we have also gone through two shower discharge pumps and have now replaced the Rule 800GPH pump for a Whale Gulper 220 diaphragm pump which was one of the first jobs to do this weekend. 
The port engine room camera has been repositioned after the discovery last weekend that the starboard camera had failed. This has been repositioned to view both engines which to be fair is all that is necessary. 
Peter has been also been busy giving Moonshine a good wash and the superstructure a good polishing...I would have offered to help but apparently I don't do the job properly, don't have a dog and bark yourself springs to mind!
So the final countdown begins, a week and a half to go, fingers crossed for good  weather.

  1. Thank you for a very useful and helpful blog. we took delivery of our 355 just a week ago and have the winter to pull her apart and do some maintenance. Interesting comment re the shower as we have yet to make the deck and heads shower work at all. water pump is fine and all taps work so I guess we have a float switch problem too. Would love to pick your brains. my email is susan.wright18@me.com. Keep up the good work
