Previous trip to the boat installed a new "Quiet Flush" toilet. Push the flush water button and it made more noise than the old not quiet flush, plus no water in the bowl. Went down this past weekend to relocate the water pump to the engine room. Got to the boat and the Y-Adapter had disappeared. Boat was hot and what little food we had in the fridge was spoiled. Also no cold ones. Trip the WM to pick up a 50amp to dual 30amp Y-adapter. 50amp plug doesn't fit, turns out the new cable was 50amp 125, pedestal was 50amp 125/250. Back to WM and of course they are out of the right cable but the WM across the lake has two. Trip across the lake and A/C up and running and fridge cooling down.
Next day relocated water pump for toilet. More hoses, fittings, etc. Got it all mounted and wired and pushed the flush water button. Same as last time, lots of noise and no water. Finally dawned on me, kinda slow sometimes, the prewired switch was wired wrong and the flush water button actually ran the discharge/macerator pump. Switched wires and no sound from the water pump but plenty of water. Discharge pump sounded like there was something loose in the pump. Decided to just remove toilet, take it home and investigate.
Had downloaded new Navionics charts for the plotter a while back so I mounted the plotter, installed the new software, put in the new chart chip, no charts. Put in the old chart chip, no charts. Did the whole procedure again, no charts.
So the weekend ended up with a new $270+ Y-Adapter, a none functioning "Quiet Flush" toilet and a chart plotter without charts.
Now I know why the call it "pleasure boating".
