Catching up on the recent events.

After the oil pan leak on the PRT engine, was removed, I saw that the sea water pumps leaked a bit of water. The leakage was not serious but t don’t like leaks. Thus, I removed first the one from the PRT engine and brought it to the Marquesis Maintenance Service to order needed spare parts den Tahiti. It turned out that they have the needed shaft seals and exchanged it. On Monday, after shopping, I reinstalled it and kept the engine running at 1000 RPMs for an hour, and neither water nor oil was leaking. Perfect. Today I removed the STB sea water pump and tomorrow afternoon, I am supposed to get it back repaired. An hour more and it will be reinstalled.
