... Greg/Neal/Wilbur, your spewing left below for reference: Are you suggesting that you have water in your bilge, from the rain? We get a few drips from the packing glands, and NOTHING inside the boat from green water or rain... No blisters, either... You just haven't looked closely enough. I bet you do, indeed, have new blisters forming. No rain water in my bilge. I have no packing gland for salt water ingress either. My bilge has dust bunnies and little, itty bitty, white spiders/webs in it. The sump in the bilge where I have my bilge pump inlet located sometimes gets wet because the ice box drains into it. But, I don't put ice in my ice box because it's a refrigerator. But, from time to time a can of beer or two will spring a leak and the contents end up in the bilge sump. They make beer cans too thin these days, IMO. But, I do keep a 12 pack of canned beer in the vertical freezer (evaporator) as I love ice-cold beer and also they work as a holding plate of sorts but sometimes if they freeze solid they break. The cooler, very sunny days cause my photovoltaics to top out the voltage regulator at 14.5 volts so, under those conditions, the Adler Barbour works very well. Today, I plan to enjoy a nice, cold bottle of white zinfandel wine. I'm celebrating some old asshole on a shabby looking Morgan named "Moria" who has a noisy wind generator, a constantly barking dog and a portable gas generator running day and night finally leaving the anchorage. So obnoxious having to listen to that crap. -- Sir Gregory |
