Free older Aquamatic watermaker in Miami area

This weekend, we're going to be pulling out a 2008-era Aquamatic watermaker that came with our boat in unknown condition and has a defective touchscreen (so we can't test it), replacing it with a new Spectra unit. We were told it had been pickled when we bought the boat, and just never touched it doing the great loop this year.

Rather than just throw this unit out, anyone want to take it and try to rehab it? The mechanicals seem to work (if you plug it in, it does a fresh water flush, etc.) It probably works with a new screen, though no idea about the shape of the membrane or anything else that might be wrong. But free to anyone who wants to pick it up, or we'll throw it in the dumpster next weekend.

We are just off Miami anchored in Key Biscayne, and will be between here and Ft Lauderdale for the next week, likely in Las Olas for Wed->Saturday early AM next week before crossing to the Bahamas for a week or so. Must come to us for pickup, of course.

Come by the Spectra booth at the Miami boat show and visit us. It might be worth your time.

Next in line if the others aren't interested. Have a boat on a mooring near Dinner Key.

As long as weather cooperates, we'll be in the Bahamas for the week of the boat show.

Installing a new Newport 400c. Was really hoping you would have 48 volt models out, but had to go with a 12 volt system for now.

Well, if the weather window doesn't work out, we'd love to see you there.
