Getting very close to crushing a bottle of champagne on her bow..... All the cooling system hoses check out and have obviously been replaced at some point which is encouraging. The current issue, and likely last before I'm comfortable floating it is the bilge only works on auto and the dash button for manual is broken. I will be replacing both push button switches for the bilge operation and have gotten what I'm sure is a superior pump that I will install when the new switches arrive tomorrow.



Aside from the update, which I would not have done if I did not want to ask the boaters who've participated thus far here a question. Insurance is not required here in CA but was thinking liability coverage is a good thing. Do you guys with boats pay for insurance? Was quoted $100 through Progressive qualifying for a multi policy discount due to my DRZSM being insured by them. Don't recall the coverage limits exactly, but the personal property coverage was $100k so if I dent a new boat most on the lake should fall under that umbrella... There is uninsured boater coverage in the policy, along with medical limits that were, well limited in value per person.


What are you guys doing, or have done? I am also going to call my homeowner coverage policies to see if a stored boat would be considered personal property for coverage. Thing is due to wildfire I have two policies and prolly do not want to rattle that cage for a <$8k vessel...
