Im a boater at last!!!

[Dave Payne]

Today I did a good thing and afterwards it made me feel like I am a fully fledged boater.

 

Couple moored behind me asked if I knew how to change a water pump, climbed aboard their boat and it turns out they had no water coming through the taps, had a look at the system and checked the fuses, another boater came along and I asked if he had a volt meter, checked power was coming into the fuse panel, all good, check power at the pump, all good.

 

Luckily they had a spare pump so worked out where to shut the system down and got a bucket under the pump ready to switch, pulled pump, replaced and all good!

 

Made me feel good, made me understand a few things and made me realise I need a volt meter onboard my own boat!

 

 

When it clicks, it just clicks.

 

Happy Friday.

[Greylady2]

Nice one. I've been on the water for 3 years. I've been helped a couple of times including having my injectors bled of water. Bloke who did it wouldn't even take a pint off me. I'd love to help someone in a similar way myself one day, now I know a little more. Best effort so far was 'rescuing' a couple who had locked themselves out of their boat. Their dogs were onboard and becoming quite frantic. They were about to break a window but one of my fishing rods with a 2 treble hooked lure on the end managed to hook out their keys, even though the table they were on was out of sight. Best catch of the day!

Ah, sorry I read the title and thought you meant you'd fallen in.......which is actually the requisite 'proper boater' qualification.

i hope that day never arrives, being a non swimmer and all that.

Good on you, it's always good to be able to help someone, and if you're the one being helped it restores (in my case) ones faith in humanity....

I think you arleady have, with the key fishing trick. Very few people would have been able to do that...
