What make hull? Some just squat no matter what you do. You may have to run off the forward tank unless you're on a longer trip since that seems...
You can hook up to a dock supply if your vessel is designed to handle it. But, you should never leave the boat without closing the cockpit...
Yes that's what I meant Captain - 5/8 would be a heck of a fitting! We could put our straw for cocktails thru that opening....and still have room...
To help with Cleanslate's suggestion, there should be a 5/8 brass plug at the bottom of the seacock. If you change that to a grease fitting you...
That crash valve "Tees" with the main water intake hose for the engine. The intake hose starts at a seacock, and then to a diverter valve going...
Did you determine if its salt or fresh water. That's a big first step imo and will help eliminate what may not be leaking if there is a leak....
Your imagery is testing my heart....
Don't I wish I were a kid.... Solstice, I was concentrating on the factory limber hole and not that smaller one. Is that actively spilling clear...
Indeed!
If it is an active leak, I suspect the antifreeze would get diluted and eliminated over time. Once I get covered for the winter I pump everything...
hmm. Depending on how much water you got in the bilge during winterization, there may be "pockets" of water still trapped which move as the boat...
I'd watch it, but based on my experience with Bodacious, that limber hole is working as advertised. When your back in the water, if you are...
That smaller one may have been done after market if there is any kind of "lip" to the bigger limber hole at its junction with the bilge surface?...
The limber hole is factory, don't know about the little one - I don't have the smaller one. The drain does not seem active, so the indication is...
and so, your conclusions....
That's a limber hole (I think that's what they call it) which allows water outside the stringer to run to the keel line and eventually to the...
Why don't you ask the yard to do it this year. Watch how they do it, then you're all set for the future years? Cracked hardware is not cheap.
Mapism. Most cooling units in the USA on boats of the size we have been discussing are self-contained reverse/cycle units which only require an...
My system has Freon? for the closed loop, and an open salt water for the chiller/heater side. So I'm only winterizing the open loop This fellow...
Good info, thanks! And so its no simple solution, but there have to be choices other than evacuating the affected areas? No? Query: meaning no...
