That's a Wrap

Day #39: It takes about three hours to amble over to Orlando and back. It would be quicker if we took the toll roads but we're happier keeping the $12 in our pockets. The guys at Nozzle Masters had our injector pump ready. "Oh, you're the boat guy.", was the response when I presented myself at the counter.

The injector pump went back in without incident but only after 2-1/2 hours of work. The biggest challenge was priming the pump and fuel lines. But even that went well. Best of all, no fuel leaks now.

The injector pump's gaskets and seals only lasted 25 years so I've put a note in Nellie's log to be sure to have the pump rebuilt again 2038! Here's to hoping I don't have to touch it until then.
