Hello All,
We had a good trip overall ending on August 4th. The weather was great with only a few windy nights and a light rain in the evening one of the nights.
A heads up for those that will follow. The starboard engine is having troubles. Bulldog had checked the oil before I arrived and said it was 1 qt low and had leaked oil below the engine. They tried to find out where it was coming from, but no luck. I took it out and once again it was 1 qt low when we arrived to Padre Bay. The oil residue was in a large area. I brought it back to the slip on one engine and only started the Starboard engine to maneuver in the slip and at the fuel dock. Bulldog checked it August 5th and believe that it may have a head gasket gone. The recommend that we DO NOT run the starboard engine during normal operation. They will need to change it out and do more diagnostics on the engine. If anyone isn't planning on using the boat during their week, please let Mike Hukill, George, or myself know so we can schedule Bulldog to come and work on it.
Both toilets aren't flushing very well. I changed out the raw water pump, but it didn't seem to help. We ended up using a bucket or cup to flush the toilet every time they were used. Not super convenient, but still usable. We'll have to get those looked at as well.
The black square fan came up missing when I arrived, so I purchased a new fan for the cabin. Please leave it between the couch and the front sliding glass door. The fan helps with airflow while running A/C. It's a nicer fan that can be adjusted upward for better air movement.
Overall we had a good time. Once again please let us know if you will not be using it during your week so we can get these items fixed.
Thanks
