Unfortunately, my arms aren't that long but if yours are I'm sure I can find some use for them. Again, I'm dumbfounded. This is a technical forum, which was created for members seeking information, which I rec'd and sincerely appreciated.
ah....... gee... sorry i missed the highly technical aspect of that first post... what was it now something like

" the alarms went off and the bilge filled up with water... anybody know whats wrong ? "

seems to me that my advice is the only one you actually followed....

sent someone down there who ( AMAZING , I KNOW ) actually FOUND a hole in the hose by LOOKING for it.

geeze. what an amazing and inovative diagnostic technique.

you should consider publishing that one.

I tend to agree with stevesxm. While his answer may seem a little harsh, it is good advice. If you want to own a high perf boat, you have to learn to diagnose some of these problems yourself. Otherwise, some of these marine mechanics will take you to the cleaners with trumped up repair bills. And you might save time getting back on the water. Just my 2 cents.
