[Rhodes22-list] CB Pennant drain

[Mark Whipple]

Just in case you wanted to know the rest of the story:

Yesterday I finally got around to completing the replacement of drain on
the bridge deck that the centerboard pennant runs through. I have a 2000
Rhodes 22.

It took a little bit of experimentation but I found a 1 1/4" ID hose fits
the upper part of the drain and a 3/4" hose fits on the bottom. I got a 1
1/4" to 3/4" adapter to join the two. Add some hose clamps, remember to
thread the CB pennant through it all before installing, and then it's just
getting the lengths right so it can all go together but still be long
enough to be clamped. Attached is a couple pics of the finished product
along with the monstrosity I removed. What you don't see in the "before"
shot is the completely rusted hose clamps that I had to use a Dremel to
remove. The slit in the old hose is also from the removal process.
