I'm Being Tested

The boat went in on May 27 and that's when it all went bad! The boat wouldn't start So I spent the weekend in the launch dock. Roy the mechanic came on Sunday and found the glow plugs need to be replaced. We got the boat to my slip and the work began getting every thing ready. I knew that trying to get away on a big trip something would break or not be working. It's now June 12 and I'm still trying to keep up with everything not working. After I got the boat to the slip Roy noticed that the engine water pump was leaking, so now I need the seals done on the water pump. My friend Simon came and gave me a hand doing some wiring. I made all the connections for all my new instruments. I spent three days trying to get these instruments working to find out there was a defective power cable feeding the instruments. So I ran a wire for that. Leaving that to connect later. So I moved to checking the shower sump pump. I was having trouble with it at the end of last year so I new I had to do some trouble shooting with this. The pump would trip the breaker after ten seconds. Everyone told me its a short in the wire. I first replaced the piece of wire from the pump to the switch. That wasn't it. Then I pulled a new wire from the switch to the fuse panel, That wasn't it. So now I have a new breaker on order. The weather was getting warm so to keep the drinking water cold I turned on the fridge to keep the water cold. So now I find out the fridge doesn't work. So I called Roy to order a new compressor. When I talked with Roy he tells me that's it's almost impossible to get glow plugs. I went on line to find that no one can get these glow plugs. So I'm leaving it up to Roy. Cleaning out the water tanks I caused a problem with the water pump. The water pump is shorting out so that's another problem to look at later. This weekend I completed connecting the instruments. I wanted to test to see if  everything works so turning everything on I found that the stereo and the VHF radio is turning on and off by it self. So now I have to fix the desalinater, VHF radio , stereo, water pump, shower sump pump. Roy will be getting the fridge, engine water pump and glow plugs installed. Two more weeks to go and it just seams impossible to get everything done.
