[C320-list] Two commissioning issues/items

[Warren Updike]

Don't think so, Mike.  I took my response right from the Edson checklist.

Warren,
I believe you have that backwards.  #30 weight oil for the chain and Teflon
grease for the chain.

Brad, the Edson Steering Inspection Checklist recommends #30 oil for the
chain and sprocket in the pedestal, and Teflon grease for the cable. Here is
the link for a copy of the checklist:

Hey everyone,

Putting Independence back together for the season and have two items.

Steering cable lubrication - Past posts said "30W oil on the wire rope",
please confirm.....

Water system 

For some reason this year I can't get the water pump to pull water from
either tank.  It will start up, I get initial pressure and then it drops to
a trickle.

I did clean out the mesh, and there was some debris. But still having the
issue.  When it runs it sounds like its going to "catch" but never
does.....  I am also only pulling from one tank at a time.

Any ideas?  Do I need to prime and what would be the process for such an
action.  :)



Thanks so much for any all help!!!!
