Hi Ericson lovers,
I have a 1984 26'. Last spring my bouy line broke in a storm (long story) and I ran aground. Fast forward to now: I now have a yacht club membership and a birth to do repairs. Yay! Im getting ready to go onto my OWN buoy, nearby, with club access anytime.
While test running my inboard (Yanmar 1 banger) and outboard (Tohatsu 6hp), I found a diesel tank leak. I assume I leaked thru the air vent when on her side, but Im not sure why that created a leak. Nor am I sure where. Any advice?
Also, Ive made a very strange observation since the beaching. Whenever (five out of five times) Ive primed the head (you know, use it for #1, then pump it out), the bilge pump runs. When I look at the pump in the bilge, and a friend pumps the head, I see no water movement. So im so confused!
I have so many questions for y'all, but I'll end with this: I cannot find a 26 foot manual. Does that mean Im crazy and my boat is really a 27'?
Thanks for your help, in advance!
