Yeah, I know I have a good one. Just stating that I know it's not totally "rustproof" since the subframe/chassis/motor mounts are all subject to corrosion. The LS series was the beginning of the end for Saturn from what I can tell. Sad!

+1, I hope it's not too much of a hassle to repair. Boats are more complicated than bikes.

It's very much an Ironman-intended bike, even past being aero. It has integrated hydration, nutrition storage, trash storage, and that panel behind the crankarm in that pic is an internal flat kit storage spot. It even has plenty of space for all of that and integrated motor assist.
I forgot we're not supposed to share that last part.

Yes, there's no button for the strikethrough tag. I just type [, type s, type ], the text, and then close it. All manually. When you do any sort of any amount of coding, hand-cranking tags is faster than using the buttons on the forum anyway, at least until you get to a tag that every forum treats differently.

Easier to copy/paste a post and use their hard work to do your own dirty work stuff.

Nothing scarier than a Hollopoint. Didn't know there was such a thing as a 10mm either, but I'm no expert.

On the boat drinking some coffee, supposed to be heading over to Catalina for the weekend.
However we're not going anywhere...
Got to the boat last night and the bilge was full of water, to maybe 2 inches below the floor boards. We have two bilge pumps on the boat, with float switches on em, so they are supposed to kick on automatically when water starts to accumulate in the bilge.
Last night the hope was that maybe the bilge pump float switch had failed and the water had accumulated slowly over the 10 weeks it's been since we have been on the boat.
Nope. This morning the bilge was half full again. Pumped the water out (at least the back up bilge pump is working).
But now the questions are:
1. What is leaking to that extent?
2. Why didn't either bilge pump automatically kick on?
3. When we turn the bilge pumps on manually, why have we not heard the main bilge pump kick on?
Most of the systems on the boat are working just fine and usually the wiring is all run high enough that it would have stayed out of the bilge water, but it's all going to now have to be checked for corrosion, along with every bolt below the floor boards. Pulling every board up and getting into every nook and cranny of the bilge will be a huge headache. Mr H is having a lie-down now over the prospect of it.
And oh yeah- the boat was built in France, so all the wiring diagrams are in French.
We'll probably have to hire some help for him to get through all this. Good thing I've been busy at work I guess.
But on the bright side: we didn't sink at the slip, which we weren't that far away from....

A failed skin fitting (whether that is corrosion on the fitting itself through the hull, or the gate valve if there is one)... head, water cooling for the motor if it's sea water.
The gland for the propeller shaft. More common if it hasn't been attended to in recent years. Means slipping and removal of the shaft, although older ones could be repacked in-situ.
The rudder gland also might need checking.
Good luck with the wiring. Colour coding and a meter are helpful. But what is in the picture doesn't bode well.
