Hell no. Clorine is corrosive first...Second cant get
water for the
AC's and head.
Good point Joe, I guess I hadn't consider the AC! I
wonder though if it
still wouldn't work, that is, assuming the bag doesn't
actually obstruct
your intake, I wonder if the heat transfer through the
plastic would be
enough to keep the condensing water at or below design
temp. As for the
head, I assume (uh-oh) that you mean water for the head
which would end up
in your holding tank, and that you don't mean to say
you're flushing your
waste into the marina waters (like we did in the 60's &
70's). In any
event, I would imagine enough make-up water would get into
the bag.
It looks like too much trouble for me, and besides, I
don't mind diving with
goggles and scraping, which I did with my Starwind. The
worst thing that
ever happened was some serious leg cramping (as in charlie
horse) while I
had my foot hooked under the keel to keep me from floating
up. Painful
stuff.

You had good luck with it? We put on VC 17 biocide but it didn't hold
over the 7 months it was in the water, even that far up the Neuse...we
went to an ablative paint by Sea Hawk this time...problem wuth the BC;s
is that if he does decide to slip her, he will have to completely strip
the bottom before putting on something else
