Or you going to address the copper pipe to galvenized hook
up next
to
your shaft?


I really don't need to. It's a sealed off intake for the
AC, which was
originally on the platform (not ready for a small genset)
in the
starboard locker. It's basically just hanging there, but
the filter
assembly probably stinks and I've been a coward about
pulling it all.
It's not hurting anything.


And you should pick up that stray chunk of steel thats
making a
mess
with rust stains in your bildge.


That photo was taken just a few days ago. The engine bay
is actually
pretty clean, but we took on a lot of water through the
compromised
dripless seal and all of the dirt settled back there when
she was
pumped out. Look at the tranny and you can see it's pearly
white.


Also you should use two hose clamps on your hoses. Is
there a
reason
why you or the builder elected to use only one?


All of the hoses and fittings are new. There is not room
for two
clamps on many of them. Many folks put two on anyway, and
have one
doing nothing. Why? We have quite a few surveyors come
into our yard.
They all laugh at the two clamp idea when it comes to
fittings that
don't have room for them. Hose clamps should be changed
every couple
of seasons and there won't be a problem.

Have a look at the pic:

The only place where there's room for two clamps is at the
top of the
pump housing. There ARE two clamps for that, but note that
the pump
base is not connected. They had just removed it to gain
better access
and also because I'm getting an injector job and filter
change.
It's hillarious to me that poor Martin sees some dirt, but
somehow
misses that the fuel pump is hanging in mid air!!!!

When the job is done I'll post a short video to show that
the pic is
indeed of a 35s5 (Martin says it's not) and that the
engine and bed
area are very clean. You won't be able to see the pump
assembly though
because it's going to be remounted. I''ll even show the
original AC
location with the dead-end fitting.
I always back up what I say with clear pics and video.

Is that a galvanized pipe fitting I see?


Holy Electrolysis Scotty..He combined copper and
galvenized coated
steel...why I bet he can get 8 volts out of that
set-up...surprised
sparks are not flying off it.

Holy dumb as a stump Batman! Don't you see that teflon
tape Joe?
Teflon is a great insulator. No electrolysis and no sign
of
electrolysis. You're as dumb as Crantz and his fireproofed
lolly
columns.


Another lubber pipes in.

Funny you should ask! On July 4th we were on a mooring in Salem for
the fireworks. The contrast between the boats on the next two
moorings was so striking I had to take a few pics.

Two moorings over was a true classic, a Bristol 39 from about 1972:

Between the Bristol and us was a true Clorox Bottle:

Good Lord! That second picture is one butt-ugly looking boat. Who would
be blind enough to buy one of those when they could have something that
looks like the first picture? Answer: a big, fat, dopey, moron loser!

Hey, the old guy with the floating radiator is throwing stones!

Of course some folks MIGHT find that "attractive" is some odd way.

I prefer this.....

Obviously that's what you prefer - that's what you bought! Of course,
compared to other catamarans my boat is a beauty to almost everyone's
eye, while compared to other monohulls, yours is a clorox bottle!

And, my boat loaded down for long range cruising is still faster than
yours!

Probably someone who's put a premium on how a boat sails rather than
just her looks. The Beneteau is more fun to sail, faster in every way
and still more comfy for a family. Bristol 30's are just fine for
retiring truck drivers, but most can't even afford that.

Way faster (to turn turtle) for sure...
