[Rhodes22-list] CB Pendant Tube Leak

[Todd Tavares]

Wally,

     Stan once posted a letter and said there was not a clamp at the top end of the hose.  I do not know how the newer boats are set up or if they have a molded in nipple for the upper end to slip over.  My boat had the hose coming through the hole and cut flush with sealer around it so I added the through hull fitting (which necessitated cutting the hole).

    As far as how my rebuild is going  :-)  ....slowly...  working on everything at once. Getting sails, stocking up on supplies and parts for when the weather improves.  Making a rudder head and galley out of KingStarboard.  I need to fix a soft spot on the foredeck which will be a learning experience.  But I have made a new friend at the boat yard and will barter labor for fiberglass work.

Will post pics so others can learn from my mistakes :-)

Todd
