[Rhodes22-list] One Hatch, Bilge and Ventilation

[mputnam1 at aol.com]

Ed, I'm sorry, but I don't quite follow what you mean by this sentence: "Their methods do away with the need for the front access for the anchor line to go into the anchor line tray."  What are the "methods" Rummy and Bill are using?  Are they storing ing the anchor line somewhere else and putting the Nicro vent into the vent the anchor line normally goes?  If so, what do you do with the anchor line?  As a newbie, I wasn't around for the original discussion ... so I'm not quite following this shorthand.  Clean air in the cabin is going to be a concern of mine when I receive our recycled Rhodes later this year (lots of mold allergies in the family), and I wasn't aware that a stinking anchor line was a potential problem.
 
Thanks,
 
-Mark

    We are having a discussion about bilge pumps and causes of problems.
Also, had question about one hatch versus two hatches.  Well, I have no
hatches and my recycled boat came with a bilge pump. 
    A successful way to increase total ventilation is a Nicro(sp?) solar
powered vent.  I have seen one Rhodes with one in the cabin roof.  However,
over the years we have had discussion about stinking anchor lines.  Several
solutions are in use, i.e. Rummy's and Bill's solutions.  Their methods do
away with the need for the front access for the anchor line to go into the
anchor line tray.  The smaller Nicro vent fits right into the hole without
modification.  Then when the sun shines there is constant ventilation.  It
works and improves the overall atmosphere of the cabin.
