Mr. Fix It

Not all projects are glamorous or fun, in fact most are downright a pain in the @$$ since the spaces we have to work in are so cramped, but in order for everything to function well "out there" we have to make repairs now. Winches are especially critical, so we've been overhauling them. Here's what a Lewmar 66 Winch looks like on the inside (pre-overhaul).

Then there are the fix it projects that we do out of necessity...like when the Aft water tank suddenly is empty for no reason (leaking hose clamp) or the bowthruster suddenly stops (blown solenoid).

Fortunately I have good hearing for pinpointing that pesky dripping sound and Chris is a great mechanic! Just order the parts and we fix everything ourselves.
