RE: new Prairie 29 owner

Sorry guys it has been a while since I posted I have finally got the water tank installed and now have the water system totally back up and running I was having a few issues with my accumulator tank and the water pump turned out that the accumulator tank had a bent broken schader valve in it from the factory I fixed it and pressurized it and that part of the equation is working much better. I had to replace the water pump however didn't like the way it was preforming or the lack of flow and pressure. It would putout about 25 psi with one faucet open the new shurflo variable speed 5.7 is 65 psi the fresh water works great now. I also had to replace the anode rod in the water heater and that was a task. I get tired of having to paint the bilge so often so I put down dri-dek mats. Oh one to the next dilemma which was that during that little tropical storm that hit us my front hatch started leaking around the glass. had to re bed it and now I need to do it again I used the wrong sealant. oops well in that process I found a section of*de-lamination*on the cabin top I repaired with epoxy and glass and sanded down the original molded in non-skid and laid down a new layer of Awl-craft 2000 with griptex in it.
