what is wrong with water pump?

Posted on September 19, 2011 by admin| Leave a comment

Had a recent thunderstorm and the next day our water pressure gave out and now is not flowing at all. I have played with the box that has power going to it and it will run for a few seconds but that is it. I have also noticed that in the pump house there are several old metal boxes like the one that is currently on it. I think that it is some kind of fuse or a switch box but am not sure. Can anyone tell me if this is the problem or what the problem may be?

Why does my boat blow fuses?

Posted on June 1, 2010 by admin| 14 Comments

I have a 1987 Rinker 4.3 inboard with stern drive. When I am out on the water it sometimes blowes the main fuse not giving power to any thing on the boat. I try a new larger fuse and it blowes that fuse. Sometimes after the boat has sat for a while it will eventully take another fuse. And the boat could run all day or blow another fuse. Any suggestions on how to track the problem?

electrical outlets in two bathroom don’t work. since yesterday when had house power washed.?

Posted on February 6, 2010 by admin| 12 Comments

Had house power washed yesterday Now electrical outlets in two bathrooms don’t work(all else in the house works)possibly water got into the outlets outside that are maybe connected to these 2? will it ‘dry up’ and correct itself? checked fuse box,all seems ok.Help!Crisis!(worse than when my hubby has to change a light bulb!)
thank you to everyone who replied to my crisis..I didn’t make myself totally clear: This home is ‘newish’ about 9yrs old believe it or not..not inside/not outside..no electrical out let has the gfci (shall I ask for a refund from the home inspector I had before purchasin!)I ‘know’ about the circuit breaker thing..I DID IT ALL..once twice..many times.and made sure it was really pushed back..I did it for all the house..nada! so Question:I am sure that water got into the outside electrical outlets (they don’t work either) and all this is connected to the 2 bathroom outlets. as I said, all lights/electrical outlets thru out the house are ok..just these two outlets in separate bathrooms and the two outside electrical outlets.
MY QUESTION: WHEN? THE OUTSIDE OUTLETS DRY UP..WIILL ALL BE OK? main question:can i try using an electric hairdryer poitioned close to the outside outlets to maybe hasten up the drying process?
