Raw Water Flow Rate at Idle RPM is 3 GPM

Replaced the port dinghy davit's magnetic cut-out switch. Ironic as it may seem the old switch was crushed by the magnet--the same magnet that supposed to stop the winch when it comes in proximity to the switch. Bottom line, nothing is more effective than a vigilant operator.

Repaired the dinghy's port fuel tank tie-down; one of the screws had pulled out of the fiberglass floor. Ran the Onan and turned it off and on several times (after a long layoff the impeller is more likely to fail the second time the Onan is run). Measured the cooling water flow rate at the expected 3 gpm.
