A hairy situation

April 23, 2017

Penny has an 1100 gallon per hour bilge pump that slowed down to a dribble when it should have pushed out a river. This could be a big problem if the boat were ever to take on water!

I took it apart and found a TON of hair inside! I am impressed that it continued to work even a little. Pulled the hair out, reconnected everything, and it is happily pumping away at full power again.

The pump is an Attwood Sahara S1100 GPH and I highly recommend it.
