C'mon guys, I'd bet money Cat didn't make the part. They bought it from a supplier. And I'm betting the total cost for that part and the adjoining parts (nipple and connector on the other end of the nipple) won't cost much more than $10.
You guys must not have the same kind of relationship with your mechanics as I do with mine. I'll let you know what the parts cost is when it's all done.
Thank you for the update! Hoping you continue to have safe travels and a few good stories/memories!Nothing great to add. We're in The Dalles, OR. We traveled 74 miles the first day, added an additional 40 or so miles today and went through two locks. The second lock (The Dalles Dam) we had to wait almost an hour for a tug and barges to pass through the lock heading upstream. We could have pushed the issue a bit to get them to let us pass through first because we were closer to the lock but I deffered to the tug and let them go through first.
We ate at a sports bar tonight and had a good dinner. We got a ride from the marina up to the bar from a gal we met in the parking lot (I paid her $10) then got a ride back to the marina from a cop and his wife who had been in the same restaurant. Funny stories in both and I'll probably write them later. I also have a few photos to post but that will have to wait for another time.
For now, it's a bit after 9:00 and I'm heading to bed. Nightey night.

Great updates, thank you for sharing! Wishing you and the guys continued safe travels!This is going to be short. The trip from Ilwaco was a LOT longer than we had anticipated . We got started right on schedule but whoever was driving (not me) wouldn't run on plane for fear of running out of diesel. We didn't get in here until after 10:00 p.m.
We had a quick dinner then we're all headed off to bed. With permission of the harbor master we're tied to the fuel dock so we can be first in line for fuel in the a.m. The trip was 202 nautical miles (232 statute miles) and just seemed to take forever.
See ya tomorrow.
And we still haven’t heard what the replacement cost of said elbow was - as promised.Your pic guy sucks.....we need pics... a hole in an elbow that's all we got ?!
