Re: Stus-List Fresh water flush...

An easy solution for avoiding the dead marine life is to plumb the head intake to sink drain. In normal operation you pump the water up through the drain into the toilet bowl (you may need to close the sink); the last flush before going home - you fill the sink with fresh water and use it to

Re: Stus-List Keel bolts comment/question

All the C Keels have a safety factor of FIVE with the boat heeled 90 degrees . . . . so that keel joint is pretty conservative. Cracks and ‘Smiles’ are normally the fiberglass bending (it is plastic remember) outboard of the bolts and washers . . . The best thing to do (although we never did

Pressurized yes. But I was thinking of isolating it with valves for head or fresh water pump sourcing as needed (long trips) >From my Android From: CnC-List on behalf of Danny Haughey via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2019 2:42:03 PM To: David

Re: Stus-List Fresh water flush...

is your water system pressurized?  if so you'd need a vacuum breaker and some kind of valve for filling, I've the fresh head on my boat it has a vacuum breaker and you open a normally closed valve to add water and then pump the evacuate.  So I guess the difference id the pump does not bring

Re: Stus-List Keel bolts comment/question

We had our keel off once a few years ago, to check the keel bolts, and to do some repairs to the the keel sump where there had been some excessive material removed in an earlier repair. Our keel weighs 7000 lbs but with the nuts off, hanging on it own weight on just the bolts it didn't move at

Re: Stus-List Keel bolts comment/question

This was my experience when removing my keel. We had to “break it loose” when lifting the hull. Question for you Rob, my keel joint had epoxy for the keel stub/keel joint which I assumed was done by a PO when the bottom was peeled and epoxy coated. Was it actually done at the plant? Regards,

Re: Stus-List Keel bolts comment/question

I have watched a number of keels removed from a hull. Most all the time the epoxy held the keel when the nuts were removed. In fact there are special wedges made to try to break it loose . . . . . It is a really tough job . . . . Bottom line, in my opinion, it will not matter whether the
