On the plain steel retaining rings:
I was forced to use the plain steel rings or sit around for several days in a rather remote spot in Connecticut. I put them in and placed an order for the proper ones at a yard further up the Sound. A week later when I went to change them, the plain steel rings disintegrated into some tiny pieces. My first thought was could i fish them out without disassembling the whole pump? Then I thought, in a few days or less the pieces will be rust dust and will pass through easily. Luckily I did not try to run the East River before I put the proper reings in.

There’s a remote area of Connecticut? Where would that be?
Also: http://groban.com/Pumps_Water_Jabsco_Pump_1673-001.html will give you
a pump that with the addition to a regular V-belt pulley and a new hole in
the mounting plate will give you a $100 pump replacement. I have two.Bob

What is a remote area in CT?
One steps ashore. The closest public place, a ice cream kiosk, is a mile walk thru an area of private and posted land. No markets or public spaces within a reasonable walking distance and not much to explore except the roadways connecting all the private and posted land.
Cruising Long Island Sound is OK if you have a permanent place and ready land transportation. Its similar to the south end of Lake Michigan where I learned to sail. Maine and parts of Massachusetts were better suited to extended crusing except for the lobster pots which I finally got tired of steering around. Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, Quebec, and Newfoundland were much more fun, despite the short season.

Man, where is that place? I’m going there! Up the CT River? Really, I
can’t imagine the place exists in this day and age. 20, 30 years ago, sure,
but not now.🙂
