Anyway near the end of the season I did not not really go anywhere. Got the engine rebuilt and running, No more water in oil and oil level is steady. Getting cold out now.
I have been burning up pump motors on my water pump and bilge pumps (I have two). The bilge pumps are jabsco 36800 series diaphragm pumps that were on breakers but not fused. The pump was wired in parallel with the breaker. So the float switch was essentially not fused or on a breaker. Seemed ok to me until I purchased my third pump motor at $158 bucks a pop. So now I have a 50 cent fused protecting the motor. The water pump is Jabsco 36900 series but same motor as bilge. I found the pressure switch was bad and even though it is also on a breaker, the breaker never tripped until motor burned up (and it was a brand new motor). So, I also fused it in addition to the breaker. So all is good.
I used system three standard color and it looks pretty close. Windows in but I have a lot of work left to do. But looking better. Teak trim on windows helps.
Lesson learned....... Ask me.
