Hey there, my boat Columbus uses different system so can't advise :)
I've seen Amante, and admired her. I understand she's been Auckland Fiji Auckland route a few times, so clearly up for anything! I like her lines...
Absolutely not - don't want to get into trouble here :) - I know Watson to be good boats, nice lines, well built... yet having only seen one,...
Built in Caraquet, thanks Judy. Being a kiwi I have to support Watson.... their thinking is very similar to Peter Sever, in terms of getting the...
I can't speak for every Cape Horn Whitney Irins but I can speak about mine, as I have done here. Any Ch designed and built like mine is a superb...
Thanks for the post Charles. Columbus is the sister ship of Devi's Advocate - love the clever name change btw - and in 100% agreement. In fact...

I can feed a hose into the OB drain hole and blast some water in there? I was worried about upsetting some delicate balance if I did that .....and...
Yes there is cos I've had 6 people aboard for a week!
Thanks K1W1. Nothing comes out when pump is running. The vent is through the upper decks, exiting at roof. It was gurgling too... so, I'm guessing...
I have a similar problem, perhaps. I have Headhunter system with 200g black water tank that is treated with an ozone stream. After pumping out...
Most of the lines are SS, but step to 20mm hose at the business end, and yeah maybe 2" at engine end. (Gosh, you know the vessel?). I don't know...
Thanks K1W1 - I didn't know that (a familiar saying of mine these days....)
I will thanks - not found yet and we've looked everywhere obvious. Seems odd that this boat - which has so many built in redundancy systems, as...
