O que este vídeo aborda
The crew of the catamaran Mistertong troubleshoots a failed watermaker and replaces a damaged outboard propeller for their dinghy. The watermaker failed to start because the Jabsco feed pump seized, likely due to corrosion on the internal impeller shaft or vanes.8:16 After failing to disassemble the pump housing due to corroded screws, the owner manually rotated the impeller with a screwdriver to break the friction.8:16 This restored the pump's ability to prime the system, allowing the watermaker to produce water again.13:08 The owner notes that the system includes a safety feature that cuts power if the pump fails to deliver water, which had been blowing a 3-amp fuse.13:55 Separately, the crew replaces the dinghy's propeller after the previous one sustained damage, restoring the tender's performance for shore trips.3:31 The crew confirms that regular operation of the watermaker is essential to prevent the feed pump from seizing during periods of inactivity.14:41
