Houseboat problems reported

Colleen has traded weeks with Randy Robinson. She called me and said that a member of Bill Morrell's family had contacted her concerning some things that were a problem while they were on the houseboat. The generator was not running so they took it apart and cleaned it. It still was not running when they left the houseboat.. It has a low oil kill on it so check the oil. This is only a guess. It never hick upped in late July while we were down there. Also reportely there was a problem with the hose to the BBQ so they did not use it. The fridge did not seem to be working although they said that the freezer part did work. Just a gentle reminder it is unable to quickly cool warm things. Remember that the batteries need to be charged to start the engine or you will blow a 30 amp fuse. I do not understand this because I am not mechanically inclinded. Mike says that the alternator may have been damaged when someone tried to jump the engine. That is hard on the new style alternators and severly reduces their life. Just thought you should know. Call me or Colleen if you have further questions. Patty
