Good idea. A piece of synthetic chamois from an auto store or Walmart might work as well. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Mon, Feb 12, 2018 at 11:06 AM, Kevin Driscoll wrote: > The "kitchen cloth" >

Shucks, Lee Actually, the wicks I used were plain and uncolored. However, in the spirit of extreme vanity, Touche' does have customized red dock lines. (I didn't buy them. They were a gift.) https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Fjg25bh4u2BXv5t5AgpTacVed_JLHyLE Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83

Re: Stus-List Toe Rail water drain/ now wicks

Great solution Dennis, as usual! For the rest of us, I’d like to point out Dennis may have painted his boat red, to go with his wick? On my “beater boat ” we use a ripped terrycloth rag, works just fine in rainy Seattle and looks “natural”, turns green in a week. Very happy to have the

Re: Stus-List Toe Rail water drain

The "kitchen cloth" from Trader Joe's is a synthetic chamois that works amazingly in for this purpose. $3.99 for 2 pack. We usually cut each one in half (so you have 4 per pack) and use them around the boat and house. They

I never had much luck with cellulose sponges.  For me, the natural sponges work much better. Just my $.02 worth,  Bruce Whitmore (847) 404-5092 (mobile) bwhitm...@sbcglobal.net ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.

Re: Stus-List Toe Rail water drain

I use triangles of cellulose sponge stuck through the toe rail. The points are far enough outboard that they don't drip down the hull. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 11 February 2018 at 11:24, John McKay via CnC-List wrote: > It should be cotton. >

Christian, That's a great idea. I have a 26' with the same problem. I was going to loosen and lift the rail to create drain tunnels. ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and every one is greatly appreciated. If

Re: Stus-List Toe Rail water drain

While you are re-bedding things, if any of the deck penetrations are through core, be sure to overbore, clean out any rotted core, fill and then bed. If anyone is not familiar with this process, search the archives or just ask. Many of us on the list are old hands at re-bedding stuff. Dennis C.

Thank you for all those who posted. I never even thought of using a wick. Sometimes when you are out on your boat you tend to over think a problem. I do have hardware that is leaking. In the spring/summer I am going to rebed them. Fun times! Thanks again, Christian Peer Gyth 1980 C 34

I have seen little "spouts" you can buy to keep the water away from the hull. Here's the easiest way to keep the black streaks at bay: Keep your deck clean. Especially on the 1st couple inches near the toe rail where the crud accumulates. Doing that regularly has reduced my black streaks to

Re: Stus-List Toe rail water drain

Don't do it. Don't rebed it. Don't cut it. I use pieces of cotton oil lamp wick to wick the water over the side. Minimizes the puddle and minimizes the streaks down the topsides. Try that first and see if it works for you. Won't completely eliminate the issue but should reduce it quite a bit.
