[Rhodes22-list] Seat Drains

[Kroposki]

Barney:

 

      Lloyd has posted you pictures of his seat drains.  These were
posted under the subject of gnats.  I reposted them under the subject of
seat drains so you and anybody else can find them by subject in the
archives.

Here's two pictures I posted last year showing my drain in the foreword
starboard Corner of my cockpit seat and the tubing that takes the water
from the drain to the cockpit sole.  Works for me.

> As long as you brought up the subject of bugs getting into the cabin,
I recommend getting some plastic screen.  Screen off those unofficial
openings that let bugs in before you go to the Keys.  The Keys have an
enormous amount of bugs on warm nights.

Please note that I recommended not to drill holes in the

gutters.  If you insist, find that picture someone posted last year ( it
may have been Roger P ).  It demonstrates the correct way to do it.

stuffed some foam pads in this opening to prevent an bugs from coming
into the cabin.  Drain hole in the outboard area with drain tubes would
do the trick.

Steve,

That drain by the centerboard line does not always drain good.  Mine has
a lip of about 1/4" that prevents all water from draining.  The previous
owner of my boat drilled holes in the seat gutter on each Side to solve
this problem.  He only created a greater problem.  For a While I had
water getting into the cabin near the centerboard drain.  An

inspection showed that the centerboard tubing was in good shape and not
the cause of the problem.  One day a quick and heavy rain shower put me
in the cabin during the rain.  An inspection under the starboard edge
during the rain showed water siphoning along the edge from under the
seat then dripping down.  I put tubes in the holes to drain the water

into the cockpit and problem has stopped.  My boat inherently tilts a
couple of degrees forward.  Since mine is an '84, maybe he has the same
problem.  I do not believe it affects the sailing.
