Running faults.

[Vara]

Fresh water filter needed changing, done, fridge, in no way connected except by proximity stopped working.

Tappets needed adjusting, engine started first click, rocker cover off, tappets done, on restarting solenoid failed, engine had to be started with spanner shunt.

So are boats and their bits sentient and react to intrusion by throwing a moody and throwing a toy out the pram.

Dread sorting the solenoid, the prop will probbly drop off.

Its normally takes your mind off carp weather. This summer has been an exception. Still there's always an upside - tinkering this year has kept me out of the sun for some time

I don't know about boats, but my first car was like that. At 14 years old it didn't like being washed. Usually, it was as reliable as one could hope for in a Wolseley 4/44. Then I washed it and a halfshaft broke. A while later I washed it again. I can't remember what broke, but it was a head off job to fix it. And so on until I got smart and stopped washing it.

I used to have the same problem whenever I waxed a car.
