The aft deck is About 20x20’, 400sqft. We also did the cockpit and steps going down in each side.
necessary evil :)
Where are they manufactured?
17 years old glued schedule 80 on manifolds between two pumps and 3 chillers. No leaks, no issues. Flushed every year.
I hate to say this but many small mutts :) have side gates aft that can be used. You don’t even need bulky stairs as a three stepper on the dock...
Ordering a side door works when buying new but in this case the thread is about boats that are a few years old…. This means the gate would have to...

An air con pump will not put anywhere near the pressure of a 60 PSI Mach 5 or shore side power so I can’t imagine schedule 80 blowing out because...

I prefer threaded nylon so you can open them up or modify them if needed that said many boats use glued schedule 80 PVC manifold and they work...
Another thing to consider beyond drilling the crew anchor release, is having a basic tow line ready. In an emergency, pretty much any twin...
You re not going to hold a 90 footer in 15-20kts with a anchor light enough to be hand deployed
