Re: Fixed Port Lights - Maramu
I just pulled the forward starboard port window to reseal and there were about 8 through bolts plus another few dozen screws. The backside of these bolts are accessible by removing 2 pieces of trim

Re: Toilet Pumps to bilge???
Bill,
Would a product like Salt-Away dissolve the salt build-up, or would vinegar be sufficient?
Thanks,

Stuck top furling
Fixed:
What happened: the lashing between head is sail and top drum failed. The top drum sprang into the black plastic stop at the top of foil and jammed solid.
Could not winch it down.

Re: Toilet Pumps to bilge???
Thank you Marc
Should the antisifone be on the suction side or pressure side, or does it not matter?

On SM243 the fill pumps for the heads draw water from separate thru-hulls in the “hallways” just inboard of the heads, near the center of the boat. There are no vent loops for either head.

Re: Anchors
Only advice I can give about anchoring technique is in soft mud (lots on the Chesapeake). Let your anchor settle into the mud for a while, then back down on it slowly to give it time to find it’s

Re: Toilet Pumps to bilge???
Paul,
Not having an anti-siphon valve on the anchor wash pump shouldn't be an issue because the hose goes well above the water line so that even when heeled over saltwater should not be able to flow

I have no vent on my sea water pump for the toilets. Nor for the anchor wash pump either. Should that be a problem?

Re: Toilet Pumps to bilge???
The seawater toilet pump anti-siphon lines can get blocked with salt. It will be very obvious with a buildup of salt at the top. And, of course these anti-siphon lines either drain (if not blocked)
