As I said, this is just the head sink - very little use and pretty much

It's a bigger deal than you think, Lloyd...'cuz ANY water in a bilge
that's left to sit turns into a dark stagnant pond...and dark stagnant
ponds STINK.

Ah, so you're a proponent of the "dry bilge" philosophy. Tried that for
awhile on Far Cove after I'd installed the drip-free shaft seal, but it's
just not practical in my case. Yes, my bilge is always a stagnant pool of
stinky "water" (mainly condensate from the fridge, rainwater from the
leaky windows, condensate on the walls...and yes, fixing the leaking
windows and making a proper, non-leaking mast collar are On My List Of
Things To Do.)
