Preparing for the launch

Again, 3 or so hours spent at the docks...

As we expected, Biltema didn't have a spare sealing part for the water separator so I bought some rubber "mat" and cut a piece that closely resembles the original seal we had. It turned out to work just fine and engine started on the first try. Teemu will surely blog a picture of this masterpiece we constructed.

As Summertime seemed a bit thirsty, we poured some 200 liters of water to the bilge. It all came out happily on the other side:


Then we disassembled the A-frame and left just the tarpaulin so that she wouldn't dry up during Friday. Saturday is scheduled to be the big day as we are "ready" to launch the boat any time after 8am... Scary...
