SV Ramble On | Our Pump Takes a Dump

We completely overhauled our drinking water system many years ago. We've gone through a couple of different pumps and our most recent one started acting up a couple of weeks ago. A light blow with a hammer and it would straighten up. We knew that fix would only last so long and the pump finally gave it up. In this video take it all apart and fix it.

I’m Jeni and he’s Rich. We’re really just a couple of average Joes. In a nutshell we met and married in our early 20s; I graduated from college in my late 20s; adopted two cats and a dog in the late 90s; sold a house and bought a new house in our mid 30s; then sold the new house and moved onto a sailboat in our early 40s. In between all that we had a bunch of fun like camping, scuba diving, watching hockey games (Go Red Wings!), concerts, traveling, spear fishing, restoring a 1963 Chevy II Nova; spending time with family and friends. A few years ago we decided to lay off all the fun-having to fix up this old boat. We figure if we put our noses to the grindstone for a few years, we’ll be able to travel for a few years and do all the fun things we’ve missed.
