August 2014

Aug 2nd, 2014.  Started drive down to KDM mid afternoon and stopped south of Champaign IL for the night. 

Aug 3rd, 2014.  Arrived at 10AM.  Got to work installing an 8D battery but then had a problem with my 12V system.  I thought that somehow the 8D was not compatible.  I inquired if KDM had any regular batteries and the dock manger, Gary, came over to take a look.  He said the 8D was not the problem and he played with the power supply switches and we discovered the 12V would work fine if we had one of the switches turned on to #1 instead of “all”.  Since I was not at a “working marina” I had to be satisfied with that.


I headed out of KDM going to Green Turtle Bay Marina to have them pull the transmission and sent out for repairs.  Nice ride over (too short) then the staff at GTBM gave me a ride back to my van.  Dinner at the restaurant at the marina, very good food.  Drove home the next morning.
