| Working in the Engine Room |
We departed Seattle from Elliott Bay
Marina in early May and headed north to Anacortes, Washington, which proved to
be an important trial run. After a routine check of
the engine room, we discovered a small fuel leak on the port engine and got on
the phone with MER Equipment of Seattle, the mechanics and dealers for John Deere
engines. After describing the symptoms,
MER ordered the necessary fuel line which arrived the following day, the same
day we returned back to Seattle.
A
mechanic from MER met us at the marina and helped us install the necessary fuel
line. We can’t say enough about MER’s excellent
service and expertise, they are always ready to help by phone or in person. After a trial run in nearby waters, we found
that a second fuel line was weeping and decided we should have this line
replaced as well. Each engine has four
fuel lines, one for each cylinder. Once
again, MER Equipment came to the rescue with a quick turnaround for the part
and installation. "Ship-shape," Got d’ Fever was ready to head out to sea.
