I would assume the Suez pilot would be in controlbut the article on
gCaptain indicated they had mechanical problems as well

I tried it in France, but the canal was about 10' wider than the boat.
It was on purpose though, we were turning around, and was successful...
I didn't feel like trying to reverse a canal boat 1/2 a mile back... and
my brother said "you can't turn around here!"... hold my wine...

Thanks, Chuck. In the case of my DST-800, I discovered the old unit was
only 1/8" larger, so I am going to re-use the hole and install with 4200.
But I may need to fill some other holes as I go along, this is good info.

Something we don't have to deal with often - if the canal is barely wider
than the boat, if you have a crab angle due to wind eventually you are wider
than the canal is.

run aground at some point but not only grounding the ship but jamming it
diagonally across the Canal. Not something I would want on my resume.

Not C related, but certainly Sea-Shanty-worthy –
Is anyone else following this cluster going on in the Suez Canal?
This is the first time I have ever heard of a Ship grounding due to a sand
storm!

I ground the exterior edges to taper toward the hole then made a
correspondingly tapered patch using three (iirc- might have been four, depends
on the hull thickness) layers of biaxial stitch mat. Each layer progressively
larger, the largest the circumference of the ground area.
I laid
The number of layers needed is driven by the weight of the cloth chosen and how
thick the hull is there. I'd use 1708 as it is so easy to work with. It's two
bias layers of 8oz roving stitched to some 1 1/2 oz glass mat. Measure the
thickness of the hull after removing the thru-hull.
I installed our Espar D2 as far aft as possible - up high under the aft
coaming on the starboard side. This allowed for a short exhaust outlet
(note that the standard mufflers sold with these units may not be marine
grade and leak exhaust gases as they are not fully welded; I bought a
marine grade
I had the local fiberglass expert do mine some 20 years ago, and I gave him a
6” square piece of .25” G-10 fiberglass which he glued on the inside (after
sanding well), then tapered the outside of the hole out around 10 or 12 to 1,
and filled up with fiberglass till it was flush. I was never
How many layers of glass should I be using on the outside for blocking a
through-hull? Glass on the inside also, or just fill with epoxy? Some of
mine have limited access on the inside for creating a taper.

This sounds likely - My usual fix for fixing the prime in the water pump in
the spring was to bring a hose on board and blast water into the tank drain,
up to the faucet - this would also blast over to the other tank, and likely
blow out whatever crud was in the line. Then vacuum out that tank and
Sure I’ll take a 40

Hi Peter, Something is preventing the free flow of water from one of the tanks.
It could be; - a clog in the hose from the tank to the tee, - maybe a valve,
somewhere in that line that is closed, - it could be the vent is plugged solid,
creating a vacuum. Which does not allow the water to
