It has been a little bit more than 2 months since Med Viking was almost lost due to a leak at the speed sensor. Here is the (hopefully) final verdict of what got damaged and required to be replaced or repaired as a result of the leak:
- The electric bilge pump
- The bilge pump float (really an electronic sensor)
- The freshwater pump (the replacement failed 1 week after replacement and was exchanged under warranty). The new variable speed pump allowed me to remove the expansion tank which was ugly and full of rust.
- The engine battery: the battery wire and connector on the negative side were also completely dissolved due to the electrolysis.
- The water heater (the water heater works with AC at the dock or with the coolant when the engine is running)
- The motor from the electric toilet
- The paint under the engine (oil pan). This is not repaired yet…
- A lot of spare parts, the most valuable ones being some spare pumps.
