[Rhodes22-list] Ports and Such - reply to Bill E

[3drecon at comcast.net]

Bill,
    
    Although I don't have any experience with the Jabsco I get the same impression you express about it.  I also agree about carrying and cleaning the porta-potty.  When you say you flush the tank with tap-water, do you mean the holding tank?  Do you pump out at the marina?  By the way, at which marina are you located (my wife is from Darien and my brother works CT Parks Enforcement along the sound).

    I liked the opening ports from the first time I saw them but Stan said he changed them due to problems.  Everyone on the list who has them so far has said they are not a problem.  Frankly, I would like to have them.  We ordered a new boat due in next year.  Meanwhile we have a loaner in fair condition with the opening ports.  I haven't opened them due to the leak fears and they haven't, so far, leaked.  The screens need replacing.  Now I am inclined to ask Stan for opening ports if he can do it.

Thanks,
Philip
