The Rumble Monster lives!

Mark,our diesel mechanic just left.

I had finally gotten the engine plumbed in; all hoses connected, new exhaust system with
water-lift muffler, a new raw water strainer and an an added
anti-siphon loop in the raw water circuit. There was also the new fuel
tank and all the hoses, filter etc.. I relocated the coolant tank while
I was at it. Then I poured five gallons of fresh diesel fuel into the
brand new Moeller 13 gallon tank and called Mark.

Mark came to the boat at 10:00 and began connecting and adjusting the controls.
After he finished hooking up the wiring he spun the engine with the
compression releases engaged, checked the oil pressure and fired her
up.

It was like music to the old Skipper's ears.

After a few run-ups and checks Mark pronounced all good and departed, leaving
instructions for break-in and a reminder to have the valves adjusted
after twenty five hours or so.

Bree appears to be holding up remarkably well.

Laura's last day at WM is Friday, July 23 and we plan to leave with the tide on Saturday AM for Port Townsend, Friday Harbor and Port Browning for the 10th Annual Pacific Northwest VEGAtarian Rendezvous. After that, we will cruise the islands for a few weeks and stop by Seattle for a valve adjustment on our way out the Strait of Juan de Fuca. NO MORE WINTERS NORTH OF LATITUDE 30!

We will check in and update whenever possible.

Sounds like all you need now is one of my R2D2 Fuel Filter Gauges to make sure your filter is always in top shape and your not starving your new fuel pump for fuel... SEE www.DirtyFuelFilter.com

"Auto ascending setup is an interesting idea, though it takes a bit of fiddling around to get it right. Once it's dialed in, it actually works quite well."
