[Rhodes22-list] Changing center drain

[Lou Rosenberg]

Warning new subject line: not a joke.

So I had to go into the lazaratte the other day and change my hose, 
my wife doesn't like me talkin' like this, so she had me locked in 
the laz until I changed my hose...

I thought I'd just take off the old one and put on the new one, until 
of course I realized that the offset from the  top cockpit sole 
doesn't allow for the new pipe to be fitted properly without taking 
off the top fitting first.  A week later, I removed the old fitting 
from the cockpit sole and added the  requisite 5200 sealant around 
the fittings and threads and sealed the new hose with two ss hose 
clamps.  It cured and i tested it by compressing the water in the 
pipe by plugging the through hull with a cane bumper as a rubber 
plug.  None leaked out but i m still in the lazarette and need some 
help getting out, any ideas?

  Its good I finally fixed the drain where all my money has been going 
for the last 3 yrs.. now my money can flow faster!

Where did the name LAZARETTE come from anyway.... I don't know  if 
Jack Schitt had something to do with it or not?
