[Rhodes22-list] Pendant Tube leak revisited

[Mark Kaynor]

Rummy,

Interesting that this should come up just now. I leveled Raven's trailer
last weekend so I could raise the mast and get some rough adjustments done
on the shrouds and stays before getting her wet next month. The side-to-side
levelling was pretty easy - I just used a 4' level across the cockpit seats.
I then leveled the cockpit floor fore/aft. I figured that was good enough
for what I was doing, and left it at that. The cockpit seats are still down
toward the bow, however, and collect water rather than draining it out the
drains.

I'd be interested to hear how those who have installed drains forward in the
cockpit seats did so.
