Hello all. I must admit to being a bit reticente in completing the story of our trip to Mexico. It is marred by an incident of mental health that severely curtailed the trip. More on that in due course. Suffice it to say that this was not planned.
I wascteally bummed out after a diver cleared the bottom of the boat. He found that the zinc on our Max Prop had been reduced to what's pictured below. Panic ensued. We have source a replacement zinc and zinc adapter. Heart rate is dropping a bit after soaring through the roof!
Almost Nothing Left
New XANTREX Freedom 3000 watt Power inverter is replacing an 1800 watt Xantrex that failed when using the watermaker. The original inverter was on a bulkhead in the area behind the settee. This one is bigger and is being mounted on the underside of the upper storage shelf behind the settee. Lots of space for the fans and we still have storage space.
Above is the installed charger replacing the one that failed. It is an 80 amo output charger and it has been excellent in bringing the battery bank up to full charge
First we had a failure of the Xantrex 1800 Watt inverter. Then a failure of the vacuum switch on the forward head vacuum generator. Now we have a failure of the 60Amp charger. When it rains it pours.

Boats in the marina have access to the pool at the marina's hotel. Pleasant days spent reading in the shade by the pool.

We have taken an Uber into the old area of Puerto Vallarta to look around, have some ice cream, and of course a margarita at a bar that offers two for one.
