And just what does it seem to you that I'm in the business to make money
on? I do get paid to consult, but that's all I do any more...and the
advice I offer here is free. So just what is it that you think I'm
trying to sell you?

You cavalierly write that a deck fitting is no big deal, just drill
it, and cap it. Sure,,, and when Mr Sailboat owner is facing a wet
core deck,

Not if you do it right. Or have it done by someone who does know how to
do it right. There are hundred of thousands of boats that have deck
pumpout fittings...I've yet to here of a single one that resulted in a
wet core.

will you be there to fix it?

If I were the one who installed it, yes.

If you are behind my boat and you see a blue bucket and it is being
thrown overboard ......... don't come to close.

You'd prob'ly be too intent on "shooting the messenger" that you won't
notice that I'd be upwind of you. ;}
