Re: selecting a water maker-a lesson learned the hard way. Maybe this will help some

Have fun with that :). We just discovered that the pickup tube in our grey water tank broke off about 10 inches from the bottom so it was never getting emptied. Oh yum! We can empathize with you....

Re: hydrostatic release unit for liferaft

We are about to go cruising- don't have a need for these but can't just donate them to Goodwill-they won't know what they are. If you think you can use them, just make me any offer. Thanks.
