There are few days that go by when something doesn’t break on a boat. This morning, I was do my “pre-flight” check when I discovered my main bilge pump was not working. The problem was a wire on the level switch had corroded through. It was unrepairable (because the wire is sealed in plastic). Yes, I had a spare onboard. In fact, I have a spare for just about everything that is important … and just as important … I usually know where the spare part it.
