and so far so good, got the batteries out, cover plate and battery boxes out, only broke two of the battery boxes, cheap plastic, plus they were froze a bit, got the old pumps out and cant find any cracks, or anything, crap, going to town and get a splice,and pick up a new bilge pump, Speckhunter ie speck said the automatic ones are easy to install,,,,, we will see.

going to test the drain hose next, got it plugged off and will pour some water in the live well and see if it drains. sure hope it does not, that mean the line is good. I am hoping for a cracked or something in the live well pump, I have a couple extras on the shelf.

on break, eating a mashed tater samich, ok hear is how i do it, get the cold mashed taters, heat just a bit, form into patties, chop onion, chop fried bacon, roll in flower fry in hot grease, put on toasted bread and enjoy.
