Thanks Mark, yes will do that, just jumped under the barge and its dry , so thinking this could have been a goose chase again after swapping out the saturated hoses.
Was out early today, Victoria in a bit of a cold pinch at the moment. Interchiller setup wa off the dial, coolant temp of minus 2 with ambient of 7deg, equates to a post supercharger air temp to the...
Finally down to the very last hydraulic drip on the hydraulic winch setup. I have a 1 drip a week leak out of the supply line fitting to the pump on the tank, needs a complete tank drain to resolve,...
With luck the final leak was resolved today, unsure why it had not leaked previously as the fitting was missing a factory fitted rubber sealing washer, anyway, all done, needed to head to Bunnings...
Wrapped up the installation of the Marine Oven and the Bushman freezer on slides, came out well, have 60mm airgaps around the oven on 3 sides, will be fine.
Well I was looking to do just that, then did a stupid thing and removed a screw thats inside the mirror near the pivot point and it had a loose captive nut - not sure that makes sense, but it slipped...

I know the fitting, I bought a new sender unit when I did the rebuild. Its sitting tight on the peg. The water level was down as when I removed the fitting , lost maybe 0.5 L of fluid and I have the...
Fixed the second last hydraulic hose leak, leaving the last one for a new day - absolute mongrel of spot to reach it. Luckily the leaks I repaired all remain intact and no drips.
Took the barge out today for a 300klm run and ran just like it was before it got a tank of muddy water. Couple of odd diesel spots on the driveway, something not tightened up, another quest to...
OK, sneaked out this arvo and finished the fold out shelf in the POD - just the right size for coffeee and snacks on the run. The table slide/shelf is also pictured, made from 50 x 50 x 3 angle,...
