Keywe nsfw1/1/2024 ![]() This requires sponging dry the pocket in the bottom of the cabinet where your P.O. I reduced the amount of fusion tape and used heavier clamps and this prevented the blowouts but, I know have a slow drip in that area. This was nice and dry but, if the water pressure was left on in the summer the hose would occasionaly blow off and my fresh water system would empty itself into the bilge, the fusion tape rounded the edge of the barbs to much for a secure fit. I have fought this since installation, I initially put fusion tape around the 3/8" tee for the lav side and double clamped the hose. ![]() I was unable to find a reducer or tee with the correct combination. The issue I had was that the sink supply line was a 3/8" line and what goes to the head was 1/2". Two years ago I replumbed the head for fresh water, I installed a barbed tee in the cold water supply to the sink and routed it to the head with a check valve. Thanks for the picture of the hole, I have been wondering where to drill mine. I also redid the VHF connector, so that both are now right by the mast, safely away from any moisture.Ī minor annoyance, but you'd think professionals would do a better job, especially since it's a well known marina with a large, full time staff. I had visions of having to pull the mast again and run new coax, which would NOT have made me happy. I wound up having to cut back within a few inches of the mast before I could get clean wire and solder on the new connector. Ever try to solder corroded wire? Here's a hint, don't bother. The coax cable was corroded for several inches, despite being tied well above any water. Well, the installer had placed the connectors in the bilge. When it came time to put them back together, I needed to replace the male connector for the TV antenna. When I had the mast pulled, I needed to disconnect all of the wiring including the coax connectors for those antennas. They installed VHF and TV antennas at the top of the mast prior to delivery. I had the mast pulled a year ago and the end was in great shape.Īs to annoying things: this wasn't the PO (bought the boat new), but the dealer. I use a paper clip to poke through the mud from time to time to ensure water is getting out of the mast step. I get a lot of mud in the water coming from the mast step weep holes, which I assume is from the mud dauber wasps, which build nests all over the boat, inside and out. Mine has a pair of small holes at the forward end of the step area, to drain water.
