We have one and I found it was better solidly fixed rather than isolated, then the mass it is fixed to works as a damper as well.... Worth a try...!

Just playing devils advocate, did you check the earth on the pump, some are rubber mounted and will have an earth wire, if this corrodes it can give the same symptoms...

I received this reply from them... "It would be covered for trips out. It is definitely covered for the way 99% of people use their tenders."

I am not trying to promote the MTOA or Geico insurance, the ONLY point of this post was to make people aware that on older boats you may not have the cover you think you have, hence the title of this thread, there were a large number of boats damaged by Hurricane Michael where we are, we heard...

Copied from our policy... “Dinghy” means a boat not to exceed 15’ length overall, including an outboard motor that does not exceed 40 horsepower, if so equipped. The maximum coverage for any “dinghy” and its outboard is $15,000. The “dinghy” must be primarily used as the tender to an “insured...

It is on our policy, I have read the whole thing now...!!! Sorry to hear you had problems, my point is more that people should check what coverage they have on an old boat, I'm not trying to promote our insurance, just to make people aware of the pitfalls of old boat insurance...

It's staying in Panama City for the time being...

With the new regulations of foreign nationals owning pleasure craft in the US she will be undocumented with the USCG, unregistered in Florida and then registered at Lloyds of London and fly the red ensign.. We live in the city of Hull in East Yorkshire so we will probably have Hull on her...

Thanks, she is in excellent condition, when the survey can only note a missing positive rubber boot on an alternator, some wiring clips and a leaking packing gland on a rudder (that had just been repacked so needed adjustment) you know you have found a good boat... Some of her spec... Detroit...

We closed yesterday on our new boat, a 1976 Hatteras 42LRC Mk1. She is beautiful and all ours, not to mention a credit to her last owner..... Barefoot Lady
