Hey Alan ,,, have you ever done this to "your" boat?

It is always easy to talk ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but drilling etc ..

=========================================

Gotta go ................ my blue bucket is full.. At this time of year I
throw the waste into the back yard. Keeps the neighbors out of the yard.
One thing though... after the spring thaw, spend lots of time at the
marina.. takes a few weeks for the smell to dissapate.

From what I read here, your reply and your listing as an expert on all
things poop, it seems to me you are in the turd business to make money.
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, will you be there to fix it?

And, for what. A pump out that almost every boat owner has but never
uses?

This is beyond stupid. To spend all kinds of money, drill holes in the
deck of an old sailboat, so that a holding tank that will never get used
is in place is nutty.

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

This turds for you!

====================

For what it's worth, sealing the core is really not difficult to do.
Drill the hole, apply epoxy to the core and let it soak in, reapplying it
over the fifteen minutes or so it takes to get tacky to ensure that the
entire exposed core surface takes all the epoxy it can, then bed the deck
pump-out fitting carefully.
Better yet, drill the hole, then chuck a bent nail or allen wrench in a
drill and remove a portion of the exposed core. Fill that with a high
density filler. You will then not get any rot in the core. This is not
rocket science. And it's certainly nothing to get hysterical about.
