Our refrigerator dumps into as does our A/C (which will be removed soon) and the various leaks we still haven't gotten around to fixing. Yes, we should be looking for them but at the moment we have kind of a full plate. We'll have plenty of time to look for leaks while we're on the hook on the coast.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093436662653044390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552422419133819877.post-21457961651441981462013-06-24T10:04:36.642-05:002013-06-24T10:04:36.642-05:00Tim -

Your bilge pump should be consuming approximately zero power. If not, then you should be looking for the leak...<br /><br />bob<br />s/v Eolian<br />SeattleRobert Salnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236481906016930762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552422419133819877.post-11257311761977169702013-06-24T05:53:53.797-05:002013-06-24T05:53:53.797-05:00Now this got me laughing.
