Boat issues as of Sept 14, 2010

We believe we solved the mystery as to why we were taking on so much water. Apparently, when we hooked up our fresh water hose to our boat the gasket was not as tight as it should have been. We were filling up our boat to a dangerous level of water and had the potential of being a sinking at the dock story! Andrew and I are no longer letting the fresh water come directly into the boat unless we are doing dishes or taking showers. For most of our daily activities using our 60 gallon fresh water tank is more than enough.
Andrew installed our new AC pump and it has been working great. Our manifold had no issues and is working just fine. Andrew also added the foam mount to our aft AC unit and it is now a quiet hum and no longer a loud unit while running.
Our next few tasks are to find and install a fresh water gasket, replace the transom shower hose and nozzle, decide and install mini blinds in the salon, replace our canvas on the fly bridge, aft deck, and replace  main windows, and replace our forward hatch.
