Raw Water Impeller Self Destructs
New dodger. New impeller in both the Cummins and Onan. The Onan's impeller had completely disintegrated while the Cummins' was missing five of its vanes. Had to flush the raw water backwards to get the three pieces lodged against the oil cooler out. Rotated the downstairs AC unit. Much better air flow.

Use GE SSG4000 to Bed Plexiglass into Stainless
Put new plexiglass on the stateroom's overhead hatch. Bedded the plexiglass in GE SSG4000 as recommended by the Piedmont Plastics, Ft Lauderdale. Time will tell if this product will work. A better and much more expensive choice would have been Sika 226 Cleaner, Sika 209 primer, Sikaflex 295UV Black. These Sika products are universally recommended but together cost $80 as compared to $15 for the SSG4000. Degreased the engine room and bilge.
Update: 22 May 2014--the SSG400 has really held up. Not a single leak. Highly recommend it.
