Maybe my turn for new boat time

The pump action seems normal. I'm thinking your water pump is a pressure pump, as are many in boat domestic water systems. With the breaker on, the pump will go on to achieve a certain amount of pressure in the plumbing lines (usually 45 psi) and then stop.

If there is no water in the tank or if one of the fixtures is turned on, the pump will continue to run.

Think I found where the bolt goes
The bracket is there but don't see a bolt

Wow, I've never found where the extra bolt in the bilge came from.

This kind of stuff keeps happening. I like the guy doing the scheduling but keep running into issues with work they do.

Prior times
Installed washers on prop in the incorrect order
Tightened prop nut way more than spec
Over spray on cowling and boat

Now this, it seams like every time I have work done I find issues. I'm paying $149 an hour and expect to have quality work.

The last bill showed 9 quarts to change the oil. I made a comment that I'm finding 7 quarts for the 8.2, and was told he made a mistake and it's 8 quarts. Looked at my operators manual put out by Merc and it clearly shows 7 quarts
