Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28.

"My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton.

My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell.

So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!!

Subject: bilge pump rebuild/replacement
Info: (26122 views) Posted: Saturday 7-19-08 09:15:06 AM
Hi:

I recently replaced the 400 on Desperado. They go every couple of years where the boot microtears. West Marine of Whale Point only stock 500's . . . but can order 400 overnight.

Mike

:: I believe West Marine has a rebuild kit for this. There
:: are two listed on west marine. Model 400 and 500. 400 is
:: for the 1" ports and 500 is the 1.5" ports. Here are the
:: part numbers for the rebuild kits for each:
::
:: model 400 - 142737

:: model 500 - 142745
::
:: Hope that helps.

:: :: The bilge pump on #111 has a bad valve and won't develop

:: :: the same handle cut out. Any help would be much
:: :: appreciated. Thanks
