Peter, thanks for that extra info, it seems to me that my problem is not unique and a few folk have now given me some good pointers to help me remedy...

Hi Mike, Thanks. To paraphrase Darth Vader: "the addiction is strong with this one". I have spent so much time gazing at "boat ****" (read:...

Hi Gary, last autom I removed both engines for service, on the picture you can see what´s under. I think the bilge pumps and the switch are...
