Our Night Got a Little Too Fun... Ep196

A new rod, rerouting the reverse cycle’s water intake, new water pump, drawers for our cabin, the riser saga continues, celebrating the new year, 2025 memories, comments and questions Steve rerouted the hose for the water intake flow of the reverse cycle air conditioner unit in our cabin and then...there was a horrible noise. Oh no, the water pump died! Luckily we had a spare 500 gallon an hour March pump on board. Whew! You can never have enough spare parts on a boat. With the new pump installed the reverse cycle is now keeping us warm and toasty. The Penn Senator reel that came with Isabella has a new friend. It’s a two piece Power Plus Trophy Class rod. Although the Senator could use a heavier rod, we’re going with the two piece because it’s much easier to store. Keep your fingers crossed, Steve just might catch us dinner one day. Storage is always an issue on boats and Isabella is no exception. The owners’ cabin has some storage space but needs more. So we ordered some drawers to address the matter. Steve put the unit together in no time and Karen’s so excited about having more storage we ordered another set of drawers. Boat life just keeps getting better. The saga of the engine riser continues. Steve is discovering more and more information on the subject including getting a $4,000 estimate to build a new riser. He’s still investigating better and less expensive options. We are determined to not have an exhaust leak in the engine room or anywhere else on Isabella without breaking the bank. This episode ends with us partying in a frenzy to bring in the new year and some of your comments and questions. We love it when you leave a comment!!! Finally, we post a few fun memories from 2025.
