The offending raw water pump


 It made my day. Still waiting on a replacement. At least it came out relatively easily. No overly stuck bolts and the hoses actually came off without a fight. There is actually some history behind this. Apparantly it is so expensive because after the agreement between Jabsco and Detroit expired, Jabsco started to under cut Detroit so Detroit said they'd buy all their pumps elsewhere unless Jabsco jacked their price back up so after market folks were charged more. At least this is what the after market folks have told me. You know something like CNN and the headlines always say. A person close to the source without permission to speak told me so.

 Over 900 bucks.

 This season is getting expensive.

 P.S. If you look at the GPS tracks for this year you'll see we were happily headed towards the South end of Walburg Creek for an overnite anchorage when we made an abrupt U-Turn and headed for Sunbury Ga..
