That moment when your boat engine dies... then doesn't #boatlife #boatrepair #relief

A quick check after rowing out to Wahine. No water flowing from the engine is never a good sign, so I pulled the impeller plate to inspect it for damage. A bit of crud inside, but the impeller itself looked fine. While I was there, I cleaned the starter and related components to make sure everything was working as it should. Reassembled, crossed fingers… and the engine fired up with water flowing normally again. One of those small boat moments that ends with relief. #BoatLife, #SailingLife, #EngineCheck, #LifeAfloat, #PacificSolo, #BoatMaintenance
