I will mention something everyone should consider. I note the generator type on any boat I am chartering and purchase a spare impeller and it’s in my charter go kit. If you have a generator failure 99% of the time it will be either a clogged strainer or a bad impeller. Some charter companies provide an impeller spare onboard but they are often missing. If unsure of type generator ask at the base if their is a spare onboard and if not can you get one.
On my Sunsail Greek charter last month I noticed a spare impeller in the drawer of the navigation desk. Sunsail 4500L
Fortunately we didn’t need it.
We did have to replace the fresh water pump in Poros though. It would stay on or off, so we started and stopped by banging on it with a hammer! High tech huh? Probably just a stuck selinoid. Moorings/Sunsail told us that a new pump would be sent on the early morning ferry from Athens base. But one was located locally and a local mechanic replaced in a couple of hours. We were off the dock before lunch. Boat was new, just entered service fall of 2023. We had to replace a generator water pump on a Moorings 4800 last year on Union Island in the Grenadines. Both times, timely serviced by Moorings/Sunsail.
