Hi Guys,
Pulled the Ole Cajun out today to investigate the errant bilge pump. It turns out it was just stuck. I took a small dowel about three feet long and gave the pump a couple of taps and it quit running. I think that rough water on the Potomac did not agree with it. Now that the pump is no longer a worry, I look forward to taking the boat back out again. Having an older boat means having to pay a little more attention.

By the way if anyone has voltage regulator lying around for a '89 Mariner Mag II let me know. My tach not working and the battery is not getting charged so I am in need of one. This motor takes the big one and Mercury wants close to $500.00 for one. So if I can fine a used one, that would be great. For now I wll charge the cranking battery after each use
